First time I enter a Escalation and we started off at 750 points. I left my comfort zone of playing Tau for a more aggressive army and manage to be the only one playing Dark Eldar lol (wife Army)

So my 750 points list is

HQ
80 points = A normal Haemoculus equip with a Hexrifle and a Shatter Shard (My Warlord)

120 points = Attach to Wracks X 10 + 1 Liquifier Gun (was two) Two Pain token unit

Assignment of this unit is to camp my objective. Problem is no one wants to go in a claim the object. This unit crushed the new Space Wolves unit of Ragnar and 10 termies (Shatter Shard was the WTF!!! moment being Ragnar and six of his Wolf Guards for failing strength test. Everyone saw that happen

Troops

170points = 10 Kabalite Warriors (one sporting a Splinter Cannon) in a Raider w/Dark lance and Splinter Racks

170 points = 10 Kabalite Warriors (one sporting a Splinter Cannon) in a Raider w/Dark Lance and Splinter Racks

Assignment of this unit is mobile fire base. Splinter Racks to try to pump up the poisoning hits and claim objectives when possible Also if the Raider jinks (+4) then the Dark Lance fires at Snap Shot but the passengers are still able to fire at current WS. Most time I seek cover with the Raiders for zero chance of a LOS so they can pop out to shoot at normal BS with Dark Lance

127 points = Venom w/additional Splinter Cannon holding 5 Wyches carrying 6 Haywire Grenades

Assignment is its my Suicidal Jihad by Haywire whatever lethal vehicle they can Assualt (one haywire thrown and the last five on whatever I need to slap on the vehicle

Fast Attack

132 points = Six Reavers just blade vaning everything they can skim over (people seriously hate this package of jetbike mayhem

Assignment is what ever troops are in the morning I'm screaming through them on a slice and dice with turbo boost.

That's the base Army I posted and will be building off it with an additional 500.

On hand (everything is painted lol I can add
2 Additional Haemoculus
3 Reavers
1 more Raider
2 Venom
2 Razorwings
1 Ravager
2 Talos
1 Cronus
10 Scourges
3 Beastmaster with appropiate critters they can have
10 Harliquins
10 Incubi
30 more Kabalites
30 more Wyches
3 Archons
1 Succubus
Complete set of Court of the Archon
4 Grotesques
5 Hellions


Main problem so far is I am way to aggressive and have launched Assaults from Raiders with my Kabalite Warriors...I know...WTH was I thinking

So since my original starting force I have to stick and can only swap out weapons options on them I can't add more to those units.
So I have an additional 500 points I can put into my Force of Mayhem.
So I need to what add with what I have on hand.

Forces I am facing is
Chaos Space Marines
Eldar
Necrons
Imperial Guard
3 Space Wolves players
Orks
Grey Knight (I think so not sure)
Space Marines

Current tactics I am doing is going heavy on one side to nail a few vehicles and squads on foot and then zipping to the other. If one flank gets weak I haul in and go for enfilade shots on whatever target I can do damage to.

Toying with the idea of foot slogging additional Kabalite squads minus transport
Throw in a Raider ful of wyches packing haywire grenades
10 Scourges with four Haywire grenades
or two Talos to hold backfield with TL Haywire Blaster

So if anyone can give a few ideas to work this I highly appreciate it lol
