So Far it looks like:

HQ: Archon- Agonizer, pistol, PG, CCDD, Hell mask and shadow field
-(5)Retinue- PG, 3 incubi, Master-CCDD and mask of the dammed , Drazhar
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(464)
Dracite- Agonizer, pistol, PG, CCDD
-(6)Retinue- PG, 5 wych w/ 1 shredder and wych weapons and succy-Agonizer, pistol, CCDD, Goblet of spite
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(315)

Elites: (7)Wyches- PG, 6 wych w/ 1 shredder and wych weapons and succy-Agonizer, pistol, CCDD
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(231)
(7)Wyches- PG, 6 wych w/ 1 shredder and wych weapons and succy-Agonizer, pistol, CCDD
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(231)
(6)Warp Beasts- 5 beasts w/ 1 beastmaster w/ pistol and agonizer
(75)

Troops: (10)warrior squad- 2 DL
(100)
(10)warrior squad- 2 DL
(100)
(10)warrior squad-9 warriors 2 blaster/2 SC sybarite-Agonizer, pistol, CCDD
(161)
(10)warrior squad-9 warriors 2 blaster/2 SC sybarite-Agonizer, pistol, CCDD
(161)
(5)Raider squad-4 warriors 1 DL
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(120)
(5)Raider squad-4 warriors 1 DL
-Raider w/ dark lance and shadow field
(120)

Heavy Support: 3x Ravagers 3x shadow fields 9x disintegrators
(420)
Total: 2498
My game plan is to deploy the raider squads outside their transports so the bigger warrior units can enter them on turn 1 with the new (and useful) dedicated transport rule. Everything goes forward except the DL units (2 warrior units and 2 raider 'squads') and shoots down vehicles and MEQ units. Then go for objectives and kill points with turn 1 or 2 assaults and shooty death or last turn denial. Sound Good? Any and all criticism and suggestions are encouraged.
Thanx-Gobbo

Oh GOD. 70 Wyches?! I'm gonna have to try this out (using proxies) and see if it'll work for me. I like the concept, just not the amount of 6+ saves against shooting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217582/371753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217582/371753.page GMT Re:Possible 08 'Ard Boyz List: Dark Eldar The games lasted 5 turns with my DE against a drop IG force. 2500 points
My Dark lances did wonderfully vs. his 4 tanks that started on the board (2 leman russ, demolisher, hell hound) with the hell hound and 1 leman russ becoming wrecked on the first turn with the demolisher and other leman russ losing their main weapons. The rest of the game the tanks accomplished noting and failed to ram any of the skimmers. This list has no problems with Armour. OH also he dropped a single sentinel behind my lines that tore up the warp beasts but was dropped by a DL shot from a squad.
The Ravengers are great against EVERYTHING! Moving 12" and firing the plasma blast and 6 st4 ap3 shots into one infantry squad a turn can be devastating. I removed a squad a turn but the drop troops just kept coming and eventually brought one of them down.
The wyches did great and killed everything they hit but were shot down by multiple units falling from the sky (only 3 units scattered the whole game with NO deaths!). I might need more combat units as i ran out as his second wave of droppers came in and killed what i had left.
The Archon and retinue met their end with 6 melta and 12 plasma shots dropping the transport and all aboard. Their raider shot the demolisher cannon off.
The Warpbeasts got bogged down in terrain and were shot to death by droppers.
It almost felt like i had too many units on the ground as i had 2x 10 man squads with 4 DL and 2x 5 man with 2 DL that only shot at vehicles and killed single guard. Maybe switch their equipment around to have shreeders and splinter cannons for anti-horde?

Any ideas or comments.
Note: I have only one more raider and only a few more wyches that i could add to the list.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217582/372276.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217582/372276.page GMT
