Hello there.
I'm both new to Dakka and new to dark eldar, and this will be my first list. Any constructive criticism is very welcome.

Archon w/ Agoniser and Shadowfield

4 Incubi in Venom with upgraded 2nd splinter cannon

10 warriors with splinter cannon in raider with darklance.

9 Wychs with Hekatrix with Agoniser in raider with darklance.

Ravager w/ 3x Darklance and Flickerfield.

Now, first of all, the reason for so much antitank, it that I read somewhere, probably on here, that a dark eldar player should try to have one darklight weapon per 100pts. I have 9 in a 1k list, which I think is a good effort.

Basic plan is to have the Archon in wych transport going for first turn assault move, with incubi moving up to support. Basically gonna try to hit one side of their army and gape it with overwhelming force. My warrior squads will move 12" at a time, firing dark lances turn one, and hopefully the splinters can start firing turn 2. Ravagers will ravage armour.
My main friendly gaming partner runs mechwolves, but not too well. His list is usually something like:

Wolf lord w/ Frostblade, stormshield, saga of the warrior born - in drop pod with 3 kitted out wolfguard non termies.
2x 10 grey hunters in rhinos.
2x Vindicators.

At 1k, or something similar. My ravagers will hopefully at least stun his vindies turn one, if not destroy them. Then I can run circles around the rest. Once he drops his lord in, I'll just fly away from wherever he drops them. They don't usually have anything ranged, but if he packs combimeltas, then hey, i lose one boat. Hopefully not a gunboat, but still, one boat. Then the rest can just ignore his lord and squad all day, or light them up with darklight.

I'm used to running mechmarines, but my friends give me a lot of flak, because i've never actually played a nonmarine list. So here's me going for it.

Now, if you have any suggestions, here are the models I actually have available to use, most unassembled.
Archon
40x Warriors
9x wychs
5x Incubi
Venom
4x Raiders
2x Ravagers

Maybe you could drop an Incubus, and then give your wyches Haywire.

Apart for that, your list is good.

I concur. Though, I'd suggest trying to find a place to put those extra 5 points you have lying around. No reason to waste them, right?

Do you really think I need the extra antitank over an Incubi's killyness though?
I'm worried about just fielding 3 incubi, as there aren't really enough bodies to survive a combat against even a tactical squad. >.<
