Hi all here at Dakka,

I wanted to try out something different for a change, as I've played the venom spam and 'competitive' lists to death over the years.

Here I present to you, for critical analysis a first draft of a very different DE force that I have been thinking about trying out this coming weekend in some games at my FLGS.

I am well versed in the ways of the Dark Kin, so I'm aware that this isn't an optimal list in the slightest. However, any constructive criticism that stick to the overall direction of this list would be appreciated.

Not really sure there is anything to add. Finding a way to get some Klaivex in there would be nice. Maybe drop 1 Incubi in the squad you plan on the Succubus joining so you can upgrade the other 2 units with Klaivex?

Scratch that, I just realized you have a spare FA Raider for some reason. Drop that, add a Klaivex to each Incubi unit and add a Blaster to each Warrior unit.

The FA raider is intend as a transport for the solo succubus to use. I had originally intended to run her with a unit of uncubi, however I have has some success in the past using a tactic like this.

Tbh, it's probably better running her with a unit of uncubi most of the time.

incubi lack assault grenades and that's a good way to give them that.

True enough. Another way I was considering running them was in two units of 7, with a HQ in each. Would that be better in your opinion??
