I went ahead and purchased all the models in the list above and bought a couple extras

Extras purchased

Mandrakes (5)
Venom (1)
Drazhar

--------------------------

I hope I can somehow incorporate them in a larger list some day.

I hope you folks think this list is worthy of casual play and possibly tournament worthy as long as having fun is the goal. I only played a couple table top games back in 2008 and would be honored to hear your input.

Not sure what your trying accomplish with this list. It looks fine to play casually, but tourney wise it definitely doesn't have enough oomph. Your 5 man troop units will die to a stiff breeze. Personally, I would drop the razorwing, add a raider, and invest more into your troops.

Thanks for chiming in, so drop the razorwing -- add a raider and more troops. Seems like a solid change to my list.

I appreciate the guidance, so if the small squads will die easily.. do I combine the two five-man squads of kabalite warriors?


Thanks in advance

This will give you better troops, the true born act like a second ravager, and the wyches become properly killy. The succubus holds units and places and does a mortal wound when she makes a save in melee, and explodes for more morta wounds when she dies. Keep the archon with the incubi, as a beat stick, while the mandrakes take care of objectives and irritate your opponent.

That really means a lot to me!

I will either go buy a raider or go return one of the venoms (I should have a receipt, so I will be good to go soon)

As a beginner, it is always a blessing to get guidance. so I want to thank you and I will go ahead and go with your list; I look forward to updating you once I am done painting and playing a game or two!

As much as people bitch about drukhari right know, this is not a point and click army. Hide your boats and take your shots where they are most useful. I've steered you away from the "feel bad units", so play smart. If you can keep the venom, you well eventually want it for when you go up in points. It's perfect for another unit of incubi and a oogbooga haemonculus or Drazhar when you go up in points. You know your finances better then I do. Good luck!

A lot of people told me not to play Drukhari as a returning player (who has only paid 3 table top games in 2008).

They said the army is a glass cannon army but I told them anything would be better than my World Eaters army (lol, I was only teasing but seriously they seem nerfed from all the theory crafters out there).

I will go ahead and just keep the venoms because I plan on making a bigger list.

Luckily, raiders aren't that expensive and are available in Los Angeles.

What are these "Feel bad units" you speak of brother?

Dark technomancer wracks and cult of Strife razor- Bus. There is a whole 60 page thread of salt in general discussion.

I cannot thank you enough for guiding me xambrien,

Oh now I get it, as in we excluded models that people may complain about?

I think if that is the case, I should probably use them (haha). I am super new and will be in a tournament.

I have a lot of reading to do (Codex and rulebook) but I just found out our tournaments are 2,000pts.


If I had no shame in my game, what would you recommend me play with?

(Also, since I am upgrading to 2,000pts -- shall I just edit my title and carry on here - or do another thread?)

I don't know how to start my list off *and sorry I should've edited my last post*

How do I take Dark Technomancer Wracks? What makes them DT?

Would it be a bad idea for me to get like 4 raiders and 40 wracks (with 2 liquifiers per 5 wracks)?

(I can still return my venoms, I don't see anyone using them in 2k lists - am I missing something here?)

Did I make a bad choice getting that razorwing jetfighter?

It's really, a broken interaction. The army plays great with out it, personally I find it anti-ethical to drukhari. This one interaction that will get hit eventually. Could end up nerfing the entire book.
I've been playing drukhari since 3rd edition and won't touch DT wracks with a 10 ft pole. We finally get an edition, where terrain matters, and Dark Elder have a complete functional codex we can use.
Now as to your question, you just take the coven obsession Dark Technomancer, that's it.
As to should you take it, that's on you. I will say this, play what you like. It's hobby, a pass time, something to do for fun. You will benefit more from learning to play the army, then chasing after a rules exploit that maybe faqed into obscurity in the near future.
As to the razorwing, all fliers have dropped down a step in this edition. Mainly because they can't hide and not hold objectives. It is a beautiful model, and can get work done on the table, is it optimal no, is it fun yes.

Okay what I will do is construct a 2,000 pt super competitive list and a 2,000 pt fun list (sounds cruel but I feel like there should be a different in play style when it comes down to winning)

I know as a beginner, it seems a bit wrong taking advantage of units that may be nerfed down the line. Or I may add to the possibility of them getting nerfed if I contribute to playing them. Or I could totally miss out and get nerfed like my Khorne World Eaters army and wait ten years and never see the light of day.

I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

I want to utilize the succubus and possibly Drazhar as well. Would I need a hoeomanculous (mispelled forsure) and an Archon to be competitive?
