I assume the archons go with the fire dragons for a perfect deepstrike tank blowing fun? You sir are despicable! lol

The list looks brutal, battle brothers for the win! Dark Reapers in venoms work? Interesting idea.

The point total is really 1850?

Yep. It's 1850. And all the dragons, reapers and Hawks are bs5.

I think reapers in venoms could be cool....

I'm not sure taking the windriders host is best. 6" runs sounds nice but your reapers are slow and purposefull so they cant run, and the dragons are in a transport, and most of there value is going to come in the turn they deepstrike anyways. Also the fire dragons can't use their battle focus with the archon in their unit, and you probably are not going to disembark unless the vehicle blows up, and you probably don't want to leave the archon alone to get your 6" run. Your bikes are running scatter lasers so you don't benefit much from the one turn of shred.

Instead you could run a cad get objective secured on the bikes, and be able to drop the useless single warlock, and potentially the vyper. The points you save could put shadow fields on the raiders to help protect the dragons inside.

Yes. I would absolutely do it that way (CAD + hosts + dark Eldar) except that most tournaments in the UK are two source, and have previously allowed Decurion to count as one. Meaning (hopefully) that they will allow Craftworld Warhost as one. Which allows me all the BS buffs on the dragons and reapers. So I've paid the Vyper/Warlock tax for that.

The main Eldar Dark Eldar combo I'm running uses less aspect warriors and a CAD. But this was a thought experiment to see what people reckoned to it.
