Hello! I've recently gotten back into 40k with my dark eldar/eldar and finally have a few games under my belt. I'd like to start getting back to the local tournament scene, but also have something that i could take to the LGS without being TFG. I've got what i think is a decent core of a list, but I've ended up with 70 points leftover. Here's the list:


Battalion Detachment: Kabal of the Flayed Skull

-Warlock Skyrunner, Protect/Jinx, Witchblade

-4x Dire Avenger, Exarch
-4x Dire Avenger, Exarch
-5x Ranger

Total: 1930pts

Typical game plan is ravagers and 2nd archon sit in the back, wrapped by avengers and rangers. Warlord and succubus get their own venoms, go after targets they can handle. Reavers harass. Scourges either hunt tanks or screen out my forward units. Warriors double up in raiders and push forward. Psykers hang out near the middle, psykering things. I tend to spend a turn hanging back blasting, then shove my army into whatever hole I've opened up (giggity).

I've got a few units to mess around with, but I'm not I'm a spot financially to buy more models.

Leftover models:

1x Reaper
30 wyches (3x hekatrix, 2x shardnet, and 3x hydra)
1x succubus w/shardnet
1x succubus w/blood glaive
5x incubi
5x mandrakes
1x raider w/ dissie cannons
1x Lhamean

9x dark reapers (1x tempest launcher, 1x Aeldari Missile)
12x swooping hawks (2x exarchs w/ sunrifle)
3x windriders with shuriken cannons
2x foot warlocks
1x foot farseer
1x spiritseer
11x fire dragons (1x fire pike or what have you)
10x guardians w/ scatter laser
4x war walkers (3 w/ double scatter, 1 w/ missile launchers)
3x falcons w/ bright lance
6 or 7 wave serpents (various weapons)
10x striking scorpions (exarch w/claw)
5x howling banshees (exarch)
1x autarch skyrunner ( laser lance and reaper launcher)

Anybody have any suggestions on what to squeeze in? My first thoughts are the mandrakes, windriders, or the lone missile walker, but I'm up for some more intense list maneuvering if there's sound logic behind it! Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

I think you can't go wrong with more blasters, you can put 2 on your jet bikes.

A small unit of wytches might not hurt either. With a shard net to tie stuff up.

And I would give the splinter pistol archon either a blaster or blast pistol.

With the triple whip its worth taking alliance of agony (1cp) for the triple hit on 6s warlord trait. I think you are the right cult. Don't be suprised to get 15 hits a turn with her rigged like that.

Just my suggestion

Thanks for the suggestions! I definitely run the succubus with the exploding hits trait, and she is a blender.

I added in 3 blasters (1 on the archon, 2 on the bikes), that left me 19 points, so I'm thinking I'll pop in the lhamean to run bodyguard for my warlord archon, and with the last 4 points I'll give a huskblade to the second archon!

Thanks again, I'm excited to give it a whirl.

Looks like a tight list, with a tonne of fire power.

Well, you have quite a good fund.
I'm missing some flyers in your list.

I'd like to add some flyers, but sadly i quit playing near the beginnings of 6th edition and never picked up any flyers (other than some now useless vendettas). Whenever i get the funds together I'd like either a pair of razorwings or hemlocks.

Let me know if you get a game in this weekend. I am interested to know how it plays.
