So Im taking part in a tournament for the first time and have been trying to figure out what i should bring.
I have two lists that i have put together and wanted to hear some advice from more experienced players about. One of them is a reserve heavy flyer list (wich im afraid includes to many reserves) and the other one is a similar one just taking grotesqurie instead of the flyers (but might lack anti tank too much). Also i had been thinking about adding some harley allies for fun but not sure how i would put up that list

but anyway here are the lists:

Hope too get some feedback

The first one looks espacially strong. You got everything covered, verhicles and infantry. Only wekaness might be unreliable reserve rolls.
10/10 would play (Dark Eldar flyers are beutiful).

You need a way to reliably get those flyers on the board, either with a modifier or a reroll.

First you need to ask if you are using the Death from the Skies supplement, if you are then they can be brought in via the Air Superiority detachment and having attack patterns with ignores cover on skimmer/jetbike units would be pretty good. Unfortunately, this will probably not be the case.

If you cannot bring in the AS detachment then you'll have to either ally in an Eldar Autarch (proxy or convert an archon maybe?) for 2+ reserves or use a CAD to bring in a coms relay to reroll your reserves.

Now please bare in mind I don't have the best knowledge of what DE can get themselves for reserve manipulation outside of warlord traits...

Thanks for the feedback,

Unfortunately I dont have the death from the skies supplement and im not sure you can use it at all (i should probably find out, cause icnoring cover against jetbikes sounds juicy :3)

Otherwise i decided to try the list exchanging the reavers aegis comms relay and giving the haemy and the talos liquifiers,

the list did quite nicely against a deathwatch alphastrike list, and i think im quite happy with it like this.
the only downside was how much i missed the reavers for late game objectives, but getting the rest of the list to the table is a bit more important i guess xD

(And yes the flyers are so beautiful!!!)
