Something about this list isn't sitting right with me. I think it's related to the raiders' tendency to sit at the back of the board with kabalite warriors in cover while the beasts close in. I'm not sure if the beast will make it and if you've got enough close support for the beasts. If it were my list I think I would either trade the Raiders for Venoms and a Blaster (similar output, but shorter range for less points and a 5+ invul) and use the extra points to get a couple squads of blasterborn in venoms; or drop one Raider squad for Hellions.

The Hellions are controversial, but with Baron Sathonyx they're scoring and are pretty reliable with the myriad abilities the Baron adds to them. They also have a bunch of 18" poisoned shots. I'd get at least a dozen of them with the Baron in and keep the Beastmasters but make the squads more even and maybe add a third unit if you can find points. Alternatively 1 squad of Hellions and 2 of Reavers might be a good combo (haven't tried), but go for squads of 9 bikes and use the blade vanes on the turn before you're ready to assault to take out the high priority units. They actually put out a massive amount of hits on any turn they do this and can take out whole squads of marines. The Hellion/Reaver combo can also use cover well, and put out reasonable amount of medium range firepower so they're useful even if it doesn't look like it's a good idea to assault.

But most of my advice is because I'm worried about the differing roles of the warriors and beastmasters so if you don't think there's a problem then just ignore me. If you're interested in Reavers then there's fellow who goes by mushkilla who has written a bunch of battle reports over at thedarkcity.net you could try hunting down. If you're interested in Hellions then Reecius of frontlinegaming.org puts out frequent battle report videos of his current Eldar/Dark Eldar list featuring a big unit of 14 Hellions with the baron in it.

Either way, good luck with the gaming!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/540347/5853662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/540347/5853662.page GMT
