Can an archon be put on a sky board or jetbike?

Is raider spam worth doing or should is it only the popular venom spam that works?

I know this edition favors shooting but are dark eldar fast enough that their CC is still efficient? Ala wyches and hellions?

Is a kabalite warrior Sargent worth giving the agonizer too?

What's the hype about Baron Sathnyx?

Scourges, are they worth what the statlines and wargear say they will do?

I ask because I could play them friendly but I don't want too. I want a competitive build, and don't wanna spend much money in models when I just built 10k of tau. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577019.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577019.page GMT
Venom is the one that's worth for spam but Raiders also have a lot of utility with Dark Lances and splinter racks.

Beastmasters are good CC units. Wyhces are good against vehicles. I personally don't have any experience with hellions but a unit of 10 should be fine with the Baron.

Kabalite Warriors Sergeants, or "Sybarites" or not worth taking at all since you don't want your warriors in CC anyways.

The Baron grants +1 to deployment roll which is very good since Dark Eldar are good alpha strikers. He also confers Stealth and Hit and Run rules to the unit he joins which are decent as well.

Scourges can bring good heavy weapon support to the table indeed. But I personally don't like them.

If you want an easy competetive build I'd suggest you to look somewhere else. But they can do well from what I've seen if you can pull it off. Competitive builds include MSU and lots of venoms. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577042.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577042.page GMT

But thanks for the information, I was thinking scourgea with those haywire rifles and haywire grenades could be great to deal with heavy armor like land raiders quickly]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577128.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577128.page GMT ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577139.page GMT FA slots. I bring two 5 man squads as standard. My environment isn't the most competitive, just saying.

Venom spam is likely the most current competitive build with 3 ravagers or 2 and a void raven, buy the archon if you want a beat stick commander or take a cheaper commander.

There is much debate on true born whether to arm them with 4 blasters or 2 Splintercannon. I think it depends on your list. I field one squad of each.

Maybe take one squad of wyches with haywire grenades in a raider. Fill the rest of your points up with cheap 5 man warrior squads(I give mine blasters) and 2 splinter cannon venoms with Night Shield(personal opinion, I find it helps greatly in the early game). And there is your list.

Some people like reaver bikes, I prefer Scourges. I have used reavers in the past to great effect.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577160.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577373.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6577373.page GMT
Archon: shadow field, combat drugs, phantasm grenade launcher, and a weapon (husk blade or venom blade)
Drazhar
8 incubi
Raider: flickerfield
2x5 trueborn: 4 blasters
2 venoms: splinter cannon
3 "gunboats"
(Gunboats are 10 kabal one with splintercannon, raider with splinter racks)
2 ravangers
Void raven


It puts a lot of pressure and cause people to make mistakes

Lots of scary with some dissy ravagers to soften up targets. That's a fun army, throw in AS in high point game to be super killy]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6578452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6578452.page GMT
Drazhar is cool, but don't waste the points. He is too cool and killy.

You will want night shields on your vehicles. I cant tell you how many times they have saved my vehicles being just out of range of enemy weapons.

Hellions are not very competitive if that is what you are going for, also they are fairly hard to transport physically. They tend to get shot up pretty bad having crap for armor and being jump troops.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6579714.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6579714.page GMT
Archon - not sure how to equip. probably with that 2++ and huskblade.
the Baron - to have a fast back field scoring unit of hellions, or to mop up injured enemy units.

2 5 man units of Warriors in Venoms,
2 5 lady squads of wyches in venoms
4 incubi in a venom (archon goes here)
10 hellions
5 scourges with haywire blasters
6 reavers with 2 cluster caltrops and heat lances.
and 2 of those bombers.

Not sure how many points this is, and this is my thoughts before playing any games. my fast attack choices are based on liking the 3 units I chose, but not sure how each will perform in the roles I want them too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6582091.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/581850/6582091.page GMT
