How is this matchup typically for the dark eldar? My list is pretty much going to be Raider / venom spam, with 3 ravagers and a bunch of kabalites , 1 squad of wyches, and vect. Thoughts?

The question is not easy to answer as SM have a wide variety of builds that are all middle to strong. If it is a salamanders army then it will depend entirely on whether you go first or second (you want to go second so his DP come in to fire upon turn 1). Against a white scars list it will be a bloody match that spans the board and will depend entirely on how well you can focus down a flank. Against Iron Hands you may have a brutal time of it as his mass of AV12-13 and IWND will cause you some problems.
Most of the SM vs DE match ups are pretty balanced though and your list looks reasonable.
thanks for the response. he runs ultra marines with white scars allies. huge plays tigurius, centurian, 30 tac marines in a rhino. he also likes drop pod sternguard.
