I'm getting ready to begin buying the models for this list since I think its where I want it, looking to get some final feedback before taking the plunge.

Tactics- Combat squad the scouts to have 3x5 cloak units sitting in ruins and hopefully going unnoticed since the dreads should draw the most fire. I get 3 drop pods turn one, and should be able to choose the right combination of dreads depending on my opponents list. Once dropped I'm hoping the meltas/frag cannons and bolters from the DC will thin things out and the furioso's armor 13 lets them live long enough to start charging and tearing things up.

I was considering replacing the reclusiarch with death company tycho, but this would mean dropping the DC squad down to 4, which seems a bit low and too easy to just blast off the table. I'm still not sure about the frag cannons but also clueless on what I would really replace them with. (additionally, any thoughts on magna-grapples?).

I'd love to hear any comments or criticisms on the list itself and its potential viability. I'm not aiming to win every tournament, but rather just do well most of the time. I already acknowledge that with this list I'm either gonna smash or get smashed. So what are your thoughts? What do you think this will do well against, what will tear it apart, and what do you think I could change to make it better. Thanks in advance.

I quite like the list mate.

As for your options. don't take tyco, as he can't join units and will just die, plus as you say dropping the DC that low is pants.

If anything, i would save some points and take a standard chaplain, use the 30 for another DC member and find something for 10 points, maybe melta bombs somewhere useful.

That list would be a complete pig to play in the current meta with plasma spam all over the place!

Love it, let us know how you get on with it!

Thanks for the responses! I'm guessing a list being a "pig" is a good thing right?

As to some of the suggestions: I've read on here before people mentioning you cant take Tycho with a squad, I looked at the book but didnt see anything, what am I missing? Also I normally would be all for changing the reclusiarch for a chaplain+dc but looking at the dex chaplains are elites not HQ, again if I'm missing something let me know. Thanks again and looking forward to any more comments/critiques.

Tyco does not have the independent character rule in the codex and therefore cannot join units.

And you are right, ignore my chaplain comment.

I think he has independent character only if you take him as the normal tycho, but not Death Company tycho? Could be wrong, don't have my codex with me.

And I've been reading some good things about fragcannons.

I am a dark eldar, and i do say go more vehicles and come face me (smug face). Jkjk, well I like it, seems like a modification to the one that just owned me at last night's league game.
