List Review
I am reviving my Dark Eldar in anticipation of a new codex and as I want a change from my Dark Angels. Was hoping you could give me your thoughts on this hyper Alpha Strike List:
2000 Pts Dark Eldar-
Troop 1 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
Troop 2 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
Troop 3 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
Troop 4 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
Troop 5 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
Troop 6 3 Wyches with Pistol/CC Weapon, 1 Wych with Hydra Gauntlets or Razorflails(still undecided here.) 1 Hekatrix w/Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
ELITES:
Elite 1 1 Hekatrix Bloodbride w/Splinter Pistol and CC Weapon, 1 Hekatrix Bloodbride w/HydraGauntlets or RazorFlails 1 Syren w/ Splinter Pistol and Agoniser Haywire Grenades Venom w/Splinter Cannons
HQ:
Duke Sliscus
Asdrubael Vect
Heavy Support:
Heavy 1 VoidRaven Bomber 2x Nerotoxin Missile, Flicker Field
Heavy 2 VoidRaven Bomber 2x Nerotoxin Missile, Flicker Field
Heavy 3 Ravager Flickerfield
TOTAL = 1995
The HQs always hop in the Bloodbride Transport at game start. Basic overall plan involves ramming vehicles and Wyches down my opponents throat. Double Splinter Cannons on all 7 venoms helps soften any unit/creatures with Toughness values as I charge in. THe FLyers and Ravager Focus down any main Armor my opponent has. I still am working on putting this together so I am open to any suggestions though I want to keep the feel similar but still be competetive. Thanks again for the great shows and look forward to hearing from you.
