I just played my first couple of games with my new Dark Eldar army (they've only been off their sprues for like 2 days) and I had so much fun I'm already trying to think about how I want to expand the army!

My 500 point list is this:
Succubus w agonizer and glaive (+1 toughness drug)
9 wyches w agonizer and hydra gauntlet (+1 attack drug)
5 kabalite trueborn w a splinter rifle, 2 dark lances, 2 blasters
Venom w 2 splinter cannons
Raider w dark lance

The wyches and succubus ride in the raider and the trueborn in the venom.

I'm not sure how I want to expand it to 1000 points but I'm definitely leaning toward another venom full of trueborn. Those guys were my MVPs.
Beyond that, scourges with dark lances seem like a good choice, reavers and hellions are cheap to buy via gangs of commorragh, and ravagers and jet fighters are also looking great. I think I'll want all of those things in my 2000 point list eventually. But what should I prioritize at 1000 or even 850 as I slowly grow my army?

Thanks!

Personally, I like to try and build up 250pts at a time.

Gangs of Commorragh is a great buy, reavers arent as good as they once were but still very mobile and tougher than most of our infantry. Hellions are super fun to use, those D2 glaives are a nasty little surprise.

Otherwise, if you've had success with that 500 pt list, why not double it? That'll leave you with a solid foundation for anything in the future. You can never have too many raiders or venoms.

Another raider to carry your troops and a ravager with 3 dark lances seem auto includes for your army. Jetfighters are also handy.

About other units it depends on how you want to play.

Razorwing jetfighter and VoidRaven Bomber is hilariously awesome so I'd say throw in one of each and try to get 2 ravagers
