Quick backstory: When I moved from Ohio to Florida I sold a LOT of stuff but I didn't sell as much of my DE as I thought. I pulled the figs out of storage the other day and discovered I have the following:

Archon
Incubi x3
Grotesques x2
Wyches x11
Warriors x50, several splinter cannons, a dark lance, 2 blasters/shredders (can't remember which is which)
Talos x1
Raiders x5

The 5 Raiders is what has me interested in fleshing out this army. I don't have the codex, yet, but according to army builder without too many upgrades I think this comes up to 1000 points or so.

Considering what I already have, what should I do/purchase to get this army to 1500 and 2000 points. My local metagame features basically everything with a few flyers in every army.

Thanks!

Well I'd say you should get a couple venoms, 1 or 2 ravagers and razorwing jetfighter and you would be good. You may want to convert a couple more of the warriors to trueborns for blaster duty. It can be quite hard to get the blaster bits though.

You can run a raider list with ease. 5 raiders can be a bit too much but I can easily see 4 raider with full warriors and splinter racks doing some damage.

I also personally like to run a haemy with the wyhces, so you can also look into that.

I used to play DE and what I did was 1 raider of wyches 1 venom of kalabites and a venom full of incubi and an archon all in a 500 point list. Loads of fast and mobile firepower. I think this was the list I ran:

HQ

Archon /w ghostplate armour and agoniser

Elites

4 incubi in venom

Troops

10 wyches in raider /w dark lance

5 kalabite warriors /w splinter cannon in venom

Total of 503 points, I know it's a bit over but unless your playing in a tournament where your not allowed over limit by the smallest amount or playing against a really annoying friend then it should be ok. Also this is by no means a competitive list and is open to improvement and critique by anyone

Venom spam is preferable to raider spam but you can do both. I would pick up a few venoms to go with your raiders and do the DE parking lot. The fighters are great; I would run two at 1500, and three at 1850-2000.

Also, beast packs are great. A giant beast pack with 20ish chimeras and 5ish razorwings all with fortune from
Eldar allies? Win.

Rule #1 is Look Cool.
