I'd personally put Sliscus with the Trueborn. I know 3+ on 9 warriors sound good but the Trueborn would be pumping out 14 shots. Plus you can take another cannon for the warriors in the raider.

Also Nightshields on the raider is highly recommended if you can find the points for it.

Another Dark Eldar list without either having Night Shields or Flicker Fields. My favorite thing to ping on so I will start there. Never trust having your "Jink" save because more then likely someone will hit you with anti-cover weapons and no more 5+ cover, let alone if you get assaulted at any point you lose said save. Night Shields are our bread and butter because we need to stay out of range of their guns that will tear us a new one, and my personal favorite is the Heavy Bolter. Oh sure you can't out range Missile Launchers, Lascannons, and a variety of others but the small arms fire in mass is what takes us down.

I recommend Dropping the Scourges for another Reaver unit with some special weapon upgrades, ie Heat Lance or even a Blaster.

Everything looks good, wyches will always have a hard time, but they are a one trick pony generally to take out a vehicle. Only down side is how are you going to cope with objective missions when two troop choices are suicide units?

Thanks so much for the replies! much appreciated! Replying to Dastrike, well most of my venoms already have inbuild flicker field so the only thing in trouble would be the warriors mounted in the only raider I have. Im also not quite worried on objectives haha ( my bad habit) since I am there to kill most of the enemy units. I only tend to go for the objectives when the game comes to an end. However you do have a point though. Would you add more 5/10 man warrior squads in this situation ? I put nightshields on my ravagers already as they wont be moving up as much as the rest of my army, mainly providing anti tank fire support. I want my infantry/bikers to kill infantry squads to get pain tokens anyway but thx anyway I will rework my list now.

In reply to oraj, Yep will make those changes right away!

Exactly same point cost as the previous list!

I love my Dark Eldar as well, your re-vamp list looks stronger and more well rounded. Like to hear how it does since I am always warping and working with my Denizens of the Deep.

drop the two trueborn units down to 3 man units, that will give you the points to put ns on both of their venoms and then ff on the warrior raider. Other than that the list is looking pretty solid, best of luck!

Thanks guys once again! especially to Dastrike !

I just added 2 haywire grenades to one of the Trueborn unit because I had 4 points spare. So the list is exactly 2000pts now.
