First attempt 2k Dark Eldar

I know this list isnt that great. I havent had that much time to really work on it, but I'll go ahead and post what I've done. The big bonus of this list IMO is that I already have all the models...Oh, and consider the Haemys to be seperate units, forgot to change it

This army looks a tad bit "kitchen sinkey" to me. You are taking some good units, but I don't know if you're running enough of them to see consistency. I hope that makes sense.

Maybe that's my fault from the perspective of an older 'dex player of taking HQ 1, HQ 2, 4-6x of 10 guys with the same loadout.

Now the new DE are the newest codex on the block, so I have very little experience with them. Just what I see from general build perspective.

yeah, the good builds look really boring though. They are like "take 4 squads of warriors, 2 squads of wyches, tons of raiders....."

Biggest thing I see that you can change is the night shields, they're not as great as they sound. The only weapon they really effect is Melta and against AV10 Open Topped they don't need the extra D6 Pen to drop you. Roll anything but a 1 and you have a decent chance at wrecking your rides with anything S8 AP1.

After that I don't like the Incubi in the Venom, they've already got anti-infantry covered so I'd stick them in a Raider with Flicker Field and Shock Prow, it costs the same and gives you a chance to blow up enemy rides and assault the passengers. It also bumps up your anti-tank which you're a bit low on currently (Lots of units can crack rides, but most have only 1 shot so not extremely reliable on their own). Also, I like Demiklaives but they don't seem to be getting much love from what I've seen.

I'd try to juggle points to get the second Wych unit a Raider, even if they're not going to start in it it's an extra Darklance and Cover save for your Ravager/Voidraven. I'd also add Shock Prows so they can tank shock into enemies if possible, but they'd also be the first thing I'd cut if points were close. For the Warriors, the same as the Incubi but reverse, I'd get them into the Venoms since they've already got blasters. Also, why go all the way up to 9 if you're not going to just go to 10 for the second special? If you leave them at 5 you can get a Blaster and Blast Pistol in a Venom for 10 points cheaper. They work a lot like my 5 man assault marine squads in Razors only squishier, faster, and with generally better guns.

I like the Reavers as is, would like a second unit but points are a bitch with this army sometimes. For the Beast Masters, I'd drop your second Fiend for 2 more Razorwing Swarms. The Swarms really do all the heavy lifting with lots of Rending attacks, the Fiends are mostly wound soakers. Should also save you 10 points.

I'm not a fan of the Voidraven missiles, I might drop 2 just to save some points for other parts of the army but that's just me. I'd also try to fit in another Ravager if you can juggle better than I can...

Also, I'd avoid Raider spam, what with them being more expensive than the old book and still not very reliable overall I'd say you're better off with a mix of Venoms and Raiders.

Enough of a book for ya?

Looks fun then.

Most people with the 'bland' repetitive armies will have enough redundancy to stand up to this list, but it may catch a few people out being the new kid on the block.

Let us know how it does!

I meant to use flickerfields...ill just drop those all together
