Portal Madness - 1849

Craftworld Warhost - 1173
Eldrad
Farseer, Spear
Autarch, Skyrunner, Banshee Mask, Laser Lance
Guardian Defenders (20), Platform (2), Warlock, Spear
Guardian Defenders (20), Platform (2), Warlock, Spear
Guardian Defenders (20), Platform (2), Warlock

Realspace Raiders Detachment - 676
Archon, Agoniser, Shadow Field, Webway Portal
Succubus, Archite Glaive, Webway Portal
Kabalite Warriors, Blaster
Venom, Cannon
Kabalite Warriors, Blaster
Venom, Cannon
Reavers (6), Heat Lance (2), Caltrops (2)

So the idea is simple.
1) Succubus + 20 guardians = webway strike.
2) Archon + 20 guardians = webway strike.
3) Eldrad (Rolling Sanctity for Portal) + Farseer (Sanctity if Eldrad doesn't get portal, otherwise Fate or Telepathy) + 20 guardians = teleport harass.
4) Reavers + Autarch = Multi-Role, help where needed.
5) 2x Venoms + Kabalites = go where needed.

I have quite a few CC monsters sandwiched in blobs, and a delivery method. Autarch grants me increased chances of getting the reserves on the board faster.

Tell me what you think, as it's not your typical Eldar list.

One question - What is your Auxiliary choice for the Craftworld Warhost? I see a Pale Courts Core choice and 2 Living Legends command choices, but no Aux.

Neat idea, although i think it's going to be pretty difficult reliably deep striking those blobs, even without scatter. 22 models and 2 weapon platforms is a VERY large footprint. Still though if you get a table with enough space it could be pretty interesting! I'm always a fan of Guardian spam, so I'm curious to hear some battle reports of this list if you end up fielding it sometime.

I think the only change I'd make aside from the missing Auxiliary choice is swapping the 2 Warlock Spears for a Fusion Gun on the Autarch since you're going to be using him a generalist.

Very interesting list. I am going to try this myself sometime. Back when the dark eldar codex first came out people were talking about webwaying in 20 kabilte warriors/trueborn. I tried it one time but had little success with it. I think the fact you got 3 of these with the potential of shrouding from the warlock and auto 6" run will make a huge difference. You will have a hard time dealing with a list that has a lot of mec, but the idea of one huge group of Guardians teleporting around the board seems like a great time. Also if I read your list correctly you only have one FA choice in your dark eldar list, so why not just use a CAD so that the venoms are objective secure. I would also look into finding the points to upgrade one of the warriors in the venom to a syrabrte so you can grab a haywire grenade. Lawrence from table top tactics does this in his tournament dark eldar list. It is amazing to see your opponent 's face when you jump out of a venom to assault a land raider and you manage to do 3 hull points in one turn. I would start with dropping the heat lances from the reavers, they will be jinking. Try it out and let us know how it does! Very original list and I bet super fun to play!

Why not a CAD for the dark eldar, as you only have 6 reavers? Their detachment is useful only if you plan to field 5-6 fast attack units, i think having obj sec is more important in your list than the bonus granted by the RR detachment.

I really liked the idea of this list so I did a bit of research into all the relevant special rules in case I ever wanted to field something similar. The one thing that stuck out to me is that battle-focus requires that the units be entirely comprised of models with the battle focus special rule in order to utilize it. So those Dark Eldar models that are allowing the guardians to deep strike will also prevent them from being able to battle focus to spread out in the same turn, providing they'll be shooting too. So you're REALLY going to have to watch out for blast weapons if you want to shoot anything on the turn you deep strike. A large blast template on a unit of tightly packed guardians is usually lethal.
