That being said it got me starting to think about their Darker Cousins, however not necessarily a fan of their fluff a friend who is a long time Eldar player turned me onto the idea of a "Corsair" style army, I was originally going to go with Dark Eldar rules and Eldar models but my buddy told me there was an actual list from Imperial Armor 11 involving the Corsairs, and after reading it, I am sold at running these guys. Also my store is VERY competitive with lots of good players so this list is intended to try and compete with them. Please let me know what you guys think, I am a complete novice when it comes Dark Eldar (1st attempt ever) so please any and all thoughts, comments and ideas are appreciated, thanks for reading!

Eldar "Corsairs" (Using DE) However, you need more anti-tank, so switch the Disintegrators to Dark Lances I think. Right now pretty much all of your AT is tied up in 4 vehicles, which is no buenos. Also, the squad going with Vect MUST be 9 models. It's a rule. So the Kabalite squad needs to add 4 chumps.

Besides that, that's a hell of a lot of shooting. It looks pretty good!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585531/6645648.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585531/6645648.page GMT Re:2000pts.

I would drop your blade sworn to trick out your prince, and take some extra corsairs in the process. A shadowfield and voidsaber are basically required. I usually like haywire grenades and a balelight as well.

That is a crap ton on S8. Nasty. I know you're going for a stong theme, but do Serpents fit that theme? Swapping a couple of falcons for Serps seems like it could really help you in terms of volume fire. Cool list though.


Corsairs cannot get Wave Serpents at all, not even as dedicated transports.

I would go dual pulse laser on the hornets, as they can provide a lot of S8 at long range(more than your falcons). The warp hunter does not need the cannon, as you should be trying to stay far away from enemies. I would drop it or trade it for spirit stones.

If I were to drop the Bladesworn and Venom I would probably just kit him out, toss some more spirit stones and such on my vehicles and put him in one of the Falcons, Basically was putting him in a Venom to get his awesome Orbital Bombardment but see what you mean by making him a bit nastier.

Overall, the list looks great. Loads of high Strength low AP weaponry, and as long as someone doesn't spam AV14, it should do great! I will, however, agree with Serling about dropping the Cannon on the Warp Hunter, going dual Pulse Lasers on the Hornets and possibly dropping the Blade Sworn and Venom to kit out the Prince a bit.

Good luck with the list!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585531/6652452.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/585531/6652452.page GMT
