So got my dark eldar list and wanted some feedback as in just starting out on this army,
heres the list;

Haemonculus, armour of misery, archangel of pain, webway portal
5 kabalite trueborn, 3 x blaster, 2 x haywire blaster, Venom, splinter cannon
5 kabalite trueborn, 3 x blaster, 2 x haywire blaster, Venom, splinter cannon
9 kabalite warriors, raider, splinter racks
9 kabalite warriors, raider, splinter racks
9 kabalite warriors, raider, splinter racks
5 x scourges, 4 x haywire blaster
5 x scourges, 4 x haywire blaster
3 x reaver jetbikes, cluster caltrops
3 x reaver jetbikes, cluster caltrops
3 x reaver jetbikes, cluster caltrops
Venom, splinter cannon

Dark artisan formation

Haemonculus, The nightmare doll, webway portal
Talos pain engine, chain flails
Cronos parasite engine, spirit probe

Any feedback on the lost would be great, ive tried to get in as much anti-armour as i can, the haywire i think is great against knights, the one thing i wanted to know was can i have the haemonculus from the formation as my warlord?

This is an illegal loadout - you're not allowed to have two Artifacts.

These are also illegal loadouts - only Scourges are allowed to equip haywire blasters.

I'm not sure why you're going with only 9 Warriors in each of these - I guess the Haem is going in one, yeah? Don't really get why the others aren't at least 10 man boats.

Fine, though the Doll isn't really helping you here compared to its cost in my opinion.

I personally consider the ichor injector superior to the chain flails - but otherwise this is fine.

Yes, you can have the haem from the DA formation as your Warlord.

I would mostly re-work your army to be legal.
Also, I think the haem warlord in the CAD is pretty meaningless to your strategy (to be honest I'm not even sure what you're so focused on DSing in with)
I might suggest switching him out for an Archon w. Blaster just on principal. Heck, at that point you could even take the AoP if you wanted (though I wouldn't, as it's a pretty poorly designed weapon and is functionally useless.

The Haemonoculus most certainly can take Artifacts of Cruelty, he just can't take two of them.

However this


5 kabalite trueborn, 3 x blaster, 2 x haywire blaster , Venom, splinter cannon

Blaster born can not take at all it's limited to Scourges.

Swap out one of your Scourges for a Razorwing Jetfighter, as you have 0 Anti-Air really.

I don't understand who the Venom is for in Fast Attack the Haemonoculus?

Here's a cheap dirty combat option

Haemonoculus ( - Archangel of Pain )
Court of the Archon 2 Lhaemen , 2 Medusae
Venom

They all benefit from PFP , which is 1 turn higher for them plus ST4 ap3 Flamer! That can deep strike where it wishes.

Drop a Squad of blaster Born.

Drop a Squad of Warriors

Beef up some of your Reavers at least 1 6 man squad. Remember they're not fearless till way late in the game. Losing one or and then having them haul ass reaaaaaaaaaaaaalllly sucks.

Take some Heat Lances on some stuff maybe the Reavers , because Haywire sucks if you play against a all bike army with fliers or a tyranid army.

Dark Artisan is boss

Take a Ichor Injector

Think about a heat lance on the Talos, since you'll probably not be shooting much at all after you deep strike in and itcan actually be pretty sweet.
