I haven't been playing 40k for a while.
I started with Dark Eldar during 4th with 3th codex. I really liked the idea of Wych Cults but sadly I feel they have lost a lot of their punch in 6th.
I was already liking the idea of creating a Coven and came up with this:
It is a Coven with a Archon twist. I first wanted to do Urien but I want to try out the Archon's Court.
HQ:
Archon (1#, 170 pts)
+SF, +Huskblade, + Soultrap, + Combat Drugs + PGL
Heamy
+ LG + VB
Court of the Archon (7#, 215 pts)
1 Lhamaean
1 Medusae
3 Sslyth
1 Ur-Ghul
in Raider + Enhanced Aethersails + Grisly Trophies
Elite:
4x Grotesques (5#, 245 pts)
+ LG
+ Abberation with Scissorhand
in Raider + Enhanced Aethersails
Troops:
10 xWracks (11#, 200 pts)
+ 2x Liquifier Gun
+ Acothyst
in Raider + Enhanced Aethersails + Grisly Trophies
3x Wracks (4#, 95 pts)
In Venom +SC
10 x Wyches (11#, 200 pts)
. . + HWG
. .+ Hekatrix + Venom Blade
in Raider + Enhanced Aethersails + Grisly Trophies
5x Kabalite Warriors (6#, 125 pts)
Blaster
In Venom +SC
Kabalite Warriors (11#, 195 pts)
Blaster, Splinter Cannon
+Sybarite
in Raider + Enhanced Aethersails + Grisly Trophies
Heavy Support:
2X Talos Pain Engine (1#, 105 pts)
. . TL Liquifier
Ravager (1#, 130 pts)
. . 3 DL, Night Shields, FF, Retro Jets
My strategy is a simple rush: move all up but leave the 3 wracks in reserve for grabbing. The ravager might Deep Strike when going second.
All other unit should be able to rush to they target of choice. The Taloi move up too to negate and dominate the centre.
Heamy is there for making wracks troops and might be giving his pain token to the unit that can use it the most: 10 Wracks or 10 Wyches, maybe even warriors.
I know that the Archon's court is a little strange but I thought about trying this for a while. In my build this unit is T5 as long as no other character joins them. I was thinking about giving them a Pain Token but with 4/6 models starting with FnP and not benefit from PfP it souns like a bad idea.
For the purpose of rushing I have taken Enh Sails and I had some spare points I put in Grisley Trophies, as RR morale can really save the day.
I used the flickerfield on the Ravager as ignore cover tends to be rather common these days. And it can help with difficult terrain failures too.
In my opinion the list is missing a truly fast unit, like reavers or beast. But I thought it would be better to have another T5 target for them, which can shoot and assault a little, to support and be a general pain in the a**.
Any C&C is welcome. I really want to have a workable list for Dark Eldar because I was a little disappointed after 6th. So all help is welcome.
