Subject: [2000] - Dark Eldar - Boarding Action (let's see how this goes)

It's a little bit thrown together, and a little bit thought out.
Going to (hopefully) get in a Boarding Action game tomorrow on a 4x6 Zone Mortalis board.
No vehicles, no bikes, no hellions.
I really don't know how it will fare, but we shall see what we shall see.
Within the limits above, I don't really have a lot of limitations on models. So, feel free to offer any suggestions within the above parameters.
My biggest limitation is that I only have 3 models for Cronos/Talos... but I'm not all that fond of them anyway. So...

There are a LOT of psykers used in my group, so the 3 Haemonculi should come in handy.
Thanks for looking.

I've never tried a full footsloggin drukhari list, your one look really cool and I absolutely love it 
About the competitiveness of the list, you lack serious shooting. You may field a couple of units of scourges or trueborn maybe. I'd cut urien and maybe one of the haemys, probably the cronos as well. I'd also prefer a second talos over the cronos if you have the model. Eventually you can even cut both of them for other infantries: some shooters or maybe a beastpack.

Well, I got my butt handed to me. Frankly, it was mostly about the board layout. Those FW boards, and using the adapted 8e rules we found online, meant that none of by 40mm based (or larger) models could go through regular doors. had to take the long way around & split my force.
All in all, it did really well... better than I expected.
The shooting on those Courts was nuts. Combined 15 dice in shooting.
All the 5+ Invulnerables and FNP rolls (that's the only term we use to refer to the myriad rules that = FNP) made the groups a lot tougher.
Urien and the haemonculi helped TONS. All the T boosts and U's rerollable 4+ were awesome.
You're right about shooting. I didn't have a lot... but this was a force meant to get into grips. Shooting was support fire, and not much else.
What got into HtH wiped out some Space Marines, though! Cronos and talos both did well in that regard (this list was a test to see which I preferred).
I couldn't... well... decided not to take hellions. Anything with fly that moves over 9" takes a MW. I didn't want to lose models. LOL Same reason I didn't take Scourges.
All in all, it was a fun list. Frankly, if/when we do it again, I'm leaning more towards a Haemonculus Coven list. MIGHT boost it with Lilith and some Archons.

I would drop the smaller court, 1 archon, and the Kaballite Warriors altogether. Then I would take Lelith, along with 3 units of wyches. 9 wyches, the Hekatrix with an agoniser, and 3 more wyches with hydra gauntlets comes out to 124 points. Basically a straight swap for the Warrior units. Nomally, I think the wyches would get blown off the map, but in a boarding action they are very fast and difficult to target with mass shooting. Also if you come to a spot where the enemy is bunched up in a hallway, it makes it difficult for them to fall back and shoot the Wyches at close range. It leaves you 4 points to do whatever you want with. Maybe throw a Phantasm Grenade Launcher on the Archon to mess with morale. Also, if you keep both Archons, remember you can only take 1 Parasite's Kiss as it is a relic. Cheers, good luck.

This was just a friendly game. So, I paid the Command point for a second relic and duplicated the available one. Until the codex comes out, they need all the help they can get. LOL
My only problem with the Wyches is their pathetic strength. I enjoyed relying on the Haemonculus Coven units for HtH, as it allowed me to have actual opportunities to wound. LOL
I like the Warriors for what they were, and the shots helped a LOT. All those splinter rifles did damage, and the S8 mowed through 3 Grey Knight Terminator Apothecaries and 2 GK characters.
I'd trade them out for Trueborn in smaller, more maneuverable squads... but I enjoyed having the 9 CPs to spend... and I used every one! LOL
I agree on Lelith. I think she would have been REALLY valuable in this army. I had her in the initial iteration, but she was so pricey that I decided to sacrifice her.
I'm really looking forward to the codex. Hopefully, I'll be able to play my DE, which have been unplayable for YEARS.
