It's pretty much a somewhat guaranteed win for DE if you play against GK, once you kill all of the Psyfledreads you have a huge chance of winning.
The rest of the army has majority range of 24" guns with the 6" reduction with night shields, the only thing they'll do is die to Venom fire.
Shoot Dark Lances into Paladins as it IDs them.
GK is slow and doesn't have much long range firepower besides the psyfledreads which will give you a hard time if you don't take them out.

I don't know about that, they are a 24" army but if they knock DE out of their transports it's game over. I wouldn't call them slow, they have Rhino, land raiders and Stormravens like any other marine army. And they have alot of shooting at 24"

A 24" army with 6" reduction means that they'll never be in range to shoot any Dark Eldar boats, but DE boats all have a 36" range and can just kite the GK around for the entire game.
The only things that can really hurt DE are the psyfle dreads due to the range.

LRs are the most cost-efficient thing for the Dark Lances to shoot at, so LRs aren't much of a problem.
Rhinos are death traps for anything inside, on top of that all the results on the chart apply to the squad inside as well. Shaken, Stunned and Pinning test are going to render the already slow squad useless for a turn.
Storm Ravens do cause a lot of trouble for DE, so it might be wise to take a void raven or quad gun to help take them down.

I'm not saying that GK have no chance of winning, it all comes down to list construction and skill and of course luck during the actual game, but I see a bigger advantage for DE rather than GK.

Interesting debate. I'm excited to see what happens. I could bring 3 x Ravagers for my heavy options, or 2 x void ravens and 1 x ravager or Talos..... I don't want to give away any tactics in case my opponent is trolling!

All I can say is that you beat me badly the first game, but the second game was my win if it ended at turn 5, so I think it would not qualify as getting beaten 'badly'... Just 'getting beaten' would suffice!

When is your 1600 point tourney?

I've never played before what's a good point level for a beginner? I've read through the rules a bit but you'll have to teach me though

But ti didn't end, and you only had 3 warriors left on the table.

Warmasters is this weekend, so More Dakka and I are heading out to the KW early Saturday morning

Not disputing those facts. Just disputing the use of the phrase 'beaten badly' in the context of BOTH games, when it really only applied to the first game.

so... blah, blah, blah... and I had 2 Warriors remaining, not 3! So there!

Good luck at the tourney!

Or Wednesday morning (but this would have to happen at my house so that I am close to my PC for work purposes, if necessary for work emergency).

Hey guys I was curious as to what your opinions are on the GW yonge/lawrence location. I've been going there infrequently for the last year or 2 and was looking to hopefully get more games in. So far is seems pretty active in on 40k night, but are there much better locations in Toronto?

I do not play at GW store locations for a whole host of reasons that typically apply to each location.

I play at Legends (and my basement ) Legends is at Langstaff and Hwy 400 in Woodbridge or Vaughan. Very healthy gaming community there. Great staff. Great players. Great gaming tables and terrain. Gaming area is separate from the retail area.
