Just started DE and I need some advice on lists and just general DE tactics.
From my understanding, the point is to be able to loop circles around my opponant. So how should i go about doing this? Units?
How do i use kabalites proficiently?
How to fit Archon?
Help is appreciated. Thanks!

1. Nearly every unit in your army has access to a Raider or Venom. Both of these are very fast and you can use them to run rings around opponents.
2. Kabalites, I have found, can be good with a 10-man squad in a Raider or a 5-man squad in a Venom. Ignore Dark Lances, they are expensive and you want to keep the Kabalites mobile. SC and Blaster are good. Try to avoid Sybarites and if Kabalites are in CC they are pretty much dead anyway.
3. Archons are the generic HQ. Put them with Incubi or some other CC squad (with dedicated transport, of course) and try and assault a lot. You can move the transport, disembark (splitting the squad), fleet, and assault. That's a 21-26" assault range, and you should try and multi-assault.

Something else: Dark Eldar like first turn. You move up, shoot with everything that can, and in turn 2 move back a bit and let your opponent come to you, hampering them all the time.

Just my 2 cents.

I would point you to the link in my sig - the DE Tactica there has a boatload of DE advice, the last section includes links to other articles that include even *more* boatloads of awesome info on competitive play.

Mind putting that link in for me? Mobile version doesnt have sigs

Deploy in cover, and take splinter racks (?) on your raiders to maximize firepower.

Wow! Thanks a bunch Thor, the guide is amazing.
