So I read Space Curve's battle report from the ATC to check out the Dark Eldar list he's been using, and I decided to take a modified 1750 list for a little spin. The learning curve with such a sensitive list is steep, but I saw the potential in the kind of list he was using. I lost both games, but was truly impressed by the whyches and got some fun and tight games.
It's very low on lances (I might change the wracks' venoms to raiders) which makes it a little hit and miss, and it won't fare well against mech Grey Knights. However, the haywire grenades help against big parking lots. The army will have to reserve against shooty armies if going second.
Anyway, here is a pic of my converted archon and the latest DE list.
Archon with agoniser, combat drugs, shadow field and phantasm grenade launcher @ 145pts.
3 Haemonculi @ 150pts.
9 Incubi @ 198pts.
Raider with dark lance @ 60pts.
9 Whyches with haywire grenades incl Hekatrix with agoniser @ 138pts.
Raider with dark lance, enhanced aethersails @ 65pts.

I play something very similar and get more lances from trueborn in raiders. I also play a bit toop light with 4-5 troops depending on 1750-2k. Three wych squads with haemonculs vs two wych squads with haemonculus and two trueborn teams is a huge difference.
ReplyDeleteYea I've been thinking about more lances aswell. I could also drop the archon completely and try to fit in some trueborn. Thx for the comment
