Appearing onto the surface of Craftworld Altoin came a scourge, an awful, rending purge. Led by Bachran L'Eol - the worshippers of Ynnead. They came to Altoin with one purpose - fill the infinity circuits, slay their brethren, bring about the end of Slaanesh by allowing Ynnead forth. Eldar killing Eldar.

Anyway, I have been thinking about building a fast pirate type Dark Eldar / Eldar blended army around this idea for a while, but had been waiting for the new DE codex to drop. So anyway, want something that I can bring to both Maelstrom and Eternal games and have a good chance at both. CC gratefully received.

Primary - CAD Dark Eldar

Archon (Huskblade, Blaster, Web way Portal)

3 Incubi, 1 Klaivex all with Klaives (Raider - Disintegrator)

5 Kabalite Warriors (Raider - Dark Lance)

5 Kabalite Warriors (Venom - Dual Splinter Cannons)

Solo Venom (Dual Splinter Cannons)

6 Reavers (2 With Clusters Caltrops)

Allies - Eldar

Farseer (Jetbike, Singing Spear, Mantle of The Laughing God, Spirit Stone of Anath'Lan)

5 Fire Dragons

5 Guardians (Wave Serpents, Holo Fields, Scatter Lasers, Shuri Cannon)

5 Guardians (Wave Serpents, Holo Fields, Scatter Lasers, Shuri Cannon)

3 Hornets (2 x Pulse Lasers on each)

Wraithknight

Surely there are some Eldar, Dark Eldar players who could help with this?

Guardians are minimum 10 in a squad.

I assume you're putting the Archon with the Incubi? I don't think he's needed there really. I would drop the Huskblade, swap your lone Venom for a Raider then stick him with the Fire Dragons.

Why would you assume that? He is going to deepstrike with the Fire Dragons. Although i agree, drop the Huskblade, this guy will not survive a turn after he drops. If you are insistent, then throw an Agoniser on him, it's better anyway.

Drop spare venom to bring Guardians up to legal sizes. A Mantle seer isn't half as well protected as people like to think, ignore cover ruins his day, as will any mediocre combat unit. I'd suggest dropping the Mantel and have the Farseer run with the Reavers, skilled rider confers to the Farseer to offer a 3+ jink, you will also be close enough to use that Psy-shriek and she will have a good melee bodyguard.

Total brain fart on my part. They are Dire Acangers. And I have paid for 5 within my 1850. Yes, the Archon is suicide dropping with the Fire Dragons. I'll have a look at the Archon's wargear.

What will I struggle against?

Fliers maybe.

I'd still swap the Venom for a Raider so the Archon and Fire Dragons can Deep Strike in that and get a little extra protection. You can just swap it with the Raider carrying a 5-man warrior squad. If you really want a lone Venom for whatever reason take it as a dedicated transport for the Archon, then at least it doesn't give up a VP in the Scouring.
