Has anyone used the following combo in any sort of competitive setting? I know Vect is expensive, and so is the Dais, but it seems like it could synergize well with Eldar. Let me know your thoughts, dakkanauts.

HQ
Farseer: jetbike, singing spear, MoTLG
TROOPS
6- Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent with Scater laser, shuriken cannon, holofields
6- Dire Avengers in a Wave Serpent with Scater laser, shuriken cannon, holofields
4- Jetbikes: shuriken cannon

Dark Eldar allies

HQ
Asdrubael Vect on the Dais of Destruction
TROOPS
9- Kabalite Warriors in the Dais, purchased an empty Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons for them
5- Warriors in a Venom with 2 Splinter Cannons
HEAVY SUPPORT
1- Ravager w/ 3 Dark Lances, Night Shields

The idea is that the Farseer can guide/prescience the Dark Lances to pop armor, and Vect gives me a 50% chance to seize, and I don't care about night fighting. The Wave Serpents and Venoms are my anti-infantry. Thoughts?

What will hurt you are the armies that have lots of armor. The lances are good anti armor but any kind of mech guard, mounted meq army, ect will be tough to beat. If troops are in transports the anti infantry weapons you have won't do anything.

I guess my thought was that the Dark Lances pop the armor, the serpents and venoms shoot what comes out of them. Bad logic?

The 6 dire avenger squads seem odd to me.
Its almost running them min for the serpent, but theres an extra guy.
I would drop them for ghostwalk matrix on the serpents, because being able to stick them in a ruin for 3+ cover when moving and not having to worry about dangerous terrain is really nice

Well, its certainly go big or go home. I would take blasters on both kabbie squads for some pinch AT. Night shields would also be nice on the venoms.

The dais is nice, but it is ultimately a crappier ravager that costs more. Can't move 12 and shoot all guns, and armor 13 but no flickerfields or night shields. Kabbies just for cheap dakka is cool, but they don't go well with Vect and any combat potential. Its a lot of points tied up in a unit that can't really do all that much.

But that's only one target per turn. I'm just thinking how I play my dark angels and I run everything in transports with at least one pred. If I were to face that list I'd blast the ravager and be sitting pretty in transports

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll see if I can find the points to get a cc-oriented unit in with Vect and get him to beat some face.
