  Here's an initial Dark Eldar list I'm working on in a revamp of my army:

 1  Lord w/ shadow field, trophy rack, mask of the damned, combat drugs, agonizer, splinter pistol, plasma grenades, haywire grenades

 6 incubi w/ plasma grenades and raider to be retinue to lord

 10 wyches w/  1 promoted to succubus, agonizer, combat drugs, 2 blasters plasma grenades, wych weapons,  raider

10 wyches as above

10 wyches as above

5 warp beasts w/ beastmaster

10 warriors w/ 2 darklances

10 warriors as above

10 warriors w/ 1 promoted to sybarite, warp gate, 2 splinter cannon

10 warriors as above

1 Ravager w/ 3 disintigraters and nightshield

1 ravager w/ nightshield


  I'd be going for a full wych army to get away from my warrior force, but at the moment I don't have the models for it, and this is my stop gap army on the way to that goal.

I like the idea, but with only 10 models in the WWP units, a good opponent will shoot them off of the board on the first turn. If you hide one of those units to prevent that, then when you deploy that portal, it will be out of position.

The WWP units should be at least 15 strong, and many WWP players insist that a bare-bones haemonculus carrying a WWP is useful to have, as he can use IC protection to avoid being shot up.

Sal.

Around here, we use a lot of terrain, so it's pretty easy to plant a webway where you want without getting shot up. I like the haemonculus idea and will give it a try.
 Sorry about taking so long to answer, it's near impossible to post the last while.

Archon + 6 incubi? What do you send this against? I only use incubi against T3/4 units and this HQ choice will certainly clear it's kill zone and if you engage enough models will probably massacre or sweep the other unit, leaving you exposed during his shooting phase.

You definately need the Archon w Agonizer to counter Monstrous Creature lists and Demon Princes. So I would be tempted to use a Dracon w punisher, drugs + 5 incubi as 1 HQ and buy a Drachite w retinue instead of one of your wych squads. Give the drachite an agonizer, drugs and s-field.

with the dark lances and dissies you should be able too bring down MC with easy



BUt ur list looks good should do well

Medic, I've romped Blood Angel and Chaos armies time and again with the Archon and Incubi, that's why I have kind of a soft spot for them as they are,  As far as demon princes and greater demons go, they're pretty thick in tournys around here, so the Archon will  pay his way.  I think I'll be following yours and Stargates advice on the Drachite, and keep going back to what else you've suggested as I mold my new  Dark Eldar army.
