With the increase use of large beasties such as Flying Demon Princes, Riptides and Wraithknights has the Archon loadout of Huskblade and The Court (Lhameans giving 2+ to wound) suddenly become very viable?

Lhameans don't make the husk blade 2+ to wound. They don't do anything to anything except the splinter pistol. Lhameans are a massive waste of points.

Oh really? I thought they made all the Archon's weapons poisoned

Nope just makes all poison weapons 2+ on archon. They need poison already.

D'oh, if a mod sees this can you please delete this thread

I wouldn't end this yet. Lhamaenan are not a massive waste of points at all, in fact they are one of the best priced things in the DE codex. *IF* you where to run a Court of the Archon then You should max out your Lhamaeans because for 10pts you are getting a venom blade (5pts) and a standard eldar stat line (8pts for a storm guardian?) so the mistress of poison rule is really just a nice bonus on an already cheap model.

The Medusae is going around with a liquefier (15pts, already got your points there) with variable strength, half the time it will be stronger then the liquefier in fact, 1/3 of the time worse. Plus eldar stat line another Bargain model.

Sslyth are amazing, no denying that. Problem is that using majority toughness they are usually toughness 3. But rocking 5 attacks on the charge plus shard carbine how can you complain about that? Well the only thing I can complain about is only having 3, I would make whole thing out of them if I could.

Ur-ghuls get the worst of it, and they aren't even bad! 4 attacks at strength 5 is nothing to be sniffed at. I don't really know how to compare this stat line to another model pts wise, but im sure he aswell is cheap for it.

Looking for a cheap CC unit in a fluffy army, or even just want the awesome models, they are definitely competitive, as long as you aren't in a competitive meta...
