FF on the voidravens and give the trueborn blasters with the points, but other than that it looks like a pretty solid list. Good luck!

My only concern is if you have bad reserve rolls, the rest of your army is extremely fragile & could be tabled fairly quickly, if you don't play hide & seek.

How do you plan to play it?

Anyhow, my thoughts are similar to xambrien's, if you don't do well on reserve roll, those few venoms won't last very long. May be mix in some ravagers?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4788405.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4788405.page GMT [ 1250 ] Dark Eldar for upcoming tournament... thoughts ? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4789498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4789498.page GMT [ 1250 ] Dark Eldar for upcoming tournament... thoughts ? sc for AT/AI & still have 35 pts to spend. If your really that worried about fliers, just turbo into the opposing players deployment zone & to minimize the damage they cause
& concentrate on wiping their troops. At 1250 I wouldn't think you woud have to deal with to many.

Just my 2 pain tokens.

HQ (Haemyyy where are you?) and more Warriors (or Wyches w/HWG), and get Blasters for the Trueborn as tadpole suggested. In conjuction with the points you'll save from replacing the Voidravens, this will also allow you to get a 4th troop choice. Considering how fragile DE are, you want to get as many troops as possible. Also, getting 12 extra shots from a new Venom and more from Warriors inside should more than balance out the loss of the Duke's poison.
Second, Voidravens are infinitely inferior to Razorwings in my experience, they cost a lot especially if you give them missiles, so I also agree that you should prefer Ravagers and Razorwings. Especially Ravagers, since the concern about reserve rolls is pure reality. Otherwise a resourceful list, with good spread of AT and AI firepower. Congratulations.
If you do take a Haemy I would recommend a liquifier gun and stick him with the Trueborn. Since you're going Venom spam, there is no other place to put him, but at least he will make them slightly more likely to survive an explosion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4792165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4792165.page GMT [ 1250 ] Dark Eldar for upcoming tournament... thoughts ? ff and 2 disses wit four shattershield do distruction]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4793974.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4793974.page GMT Re:[ 1250 ] Dark Eldar for upcoming tournament... thoughts ? SCs is good, 52 shots at 12" providing your SCs were stationary, wounding on 3+, but... they aren't very survivable, and they cost a lot. On the other hand, 4 shardcarbines or 2 shardcarbines + 2SC trueborns on a venom is cheap, your effective range is longer and they're slightly more survivable than the 20 warriors in the open.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4794341.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4794341.page GMT Re:[ 1250 ] Dark Eldar for upcoming tournament... thoughts ?

Exactly. Footslogging is a death sentence. If you really want to take Sliscus (as I said before, I wouldn't take him with this list if I were you), then stick him in a unit of Trueborn.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4794687.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/477502/4794687.page GMT
