I don't believe there is a comp score, but I wouldn't mind one anyway. What I'm really after is feedback, on what people think might be unnecessary or weaken the list too much. I think its pretty solid, even a bit cheesy. I think the squad of 10 man warriors without transports to be a weakness to some degree.

Ghostplate on the sybarites doesn't make much sense to me, unless it's just to burn a few leftover points (though for three suits of it you could get another incubus, and I assume Vect is going with one of them? The other could use another wound on it to make it hit a little harder).

Other than that, it looks solid. What do you use for venoms, by the way? Converted vypers? Counts as Raiders? I've been slowly building my army (I've been playing over vassal for a year now, and the new DE models inspired to me to actually find a game store nearby and start building an army), but I'm hesitant to build one with what's available now, when the rest of the line should be coming out soon... Venoms are one of the things I want a couple of, to provide some good ranged anti-infantry alongside transport capacity.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2296847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2296847.page GMT Dark Eldar 1500 Tourney.
For a Venom I am using a Vyper mashed with a raider - definitely a mixed bag of results at the moment.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2297003.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2297003.page GMT Dark Eldar 1500 Tourney.

Personal opinion, just too expensive for a 1500 point game. Solid HQ though. I think you would save some points do a little better with an Archon, shadowfield, agoniser, phantasm grenade launcher since you have incubi. More on that below.

The night shields are unnecessary, as these will have to get in close to unload the incubi for assaulting. Save the 20 points. Issues you'll have with these guys is that they have no grenades, so you'll have to be careful assaulting anything with power weapons in cover b/c you will attack last and not have any incubi left. The only way you can give them grenades is an Archon with a phantasm grenade launcher. No other HQ's have the option for it. The incubi can really be too powerful sometimes. 2 squads may be overkill. I think you would be better off taking a squad of wyches in place of one squad of incubi. They serve as more of a tarpit unit, rather than killing anything outright. i would attack any HQ's or other multi-power weapon wielding squads with the wyches, and leave the puny squads you want out of the way quick to the incubi. Wyches are a troop choice as well and give you another scoring unit.

Always a solid choice, can't go wrong here. The night shield "may" be unnecessary here due to most weapons that can kill it having a 48" range vs your 36" range which doesn't hurt them much. About the only thing they seem to help with is prevening rapid-fire bolters and meltas. Being able to move 12" and fire everything, you shouldn't allow them to get that close anyway.

DE's greatest asset is it's speed and cheap vehicles.... You've negated both with these squads, you need vehicles. The ghostplate is kind of pointless since you're protecting a model that only has 1 extra attack. At 1500 points, you should be running more than 3 squads of troops. The best DE builds tend to revolve around msu. I usually run 5x squads of 5x warriors, 1 blaster, venom with extra spl. cannon and a wych squad in there as well. You're basically purchasing the venom and get the warriors as an added bonus. The blaster is in there in case any at make it too close.

No complaints here really, except the night shield again. Your range is 18" with the blasters, all you're preventing shooting you is other 18" range weapons and rapid fire. Otherwise, I love these units. I usually throw in an extra trueborn to prevent a single loss LD test. That way, you'll have to lose 2 to be over 25% losses, lose 1 and you still have 4 blasters.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2297970.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2297970.page GMT Dark Eldar 1500 Tourney. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2298491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2298491.page GMT Dark Eldar 1500 Tourney. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2300586.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/337879/2300586.page GMT Dark Eldar 1500 Tourney.
I don't think I'll have the points to fit in 5 extra Venoms. I took the footslogging DE, just because I don't really expect with so much dakka and cleansweaping with Vect and Incubi, I can just waltz up and or rapidfire remaining squads.

I'll play around tonight and try write a msu list.
