hI all...Ive been lurking for 2 months or so. My buddy had gotten into 40k and I of course thought myself to be above this level of dorkdom. Saddly for my wallet i was not. He had 4 armies and was not going to continue using one of them so i bought about 1500 pts for 100 bucks. I have since gone into the 500-600 dollar range and am currently modding fantasy witch elves into wyches because the DE wyches are the ugliest models in the game...(note to anyone modding them, the mandrakes have the smallest hands in the dark eldar army from what ive found and the guns look perfect)
anyways I for the most part play 1850 games and I have a list that I like but I have a real hell of a time against necrons (I have found myself to do well against everything else except speed freaks, god those things make me cry, and have you ever notice tau plauers dont like to put the full 25% cover on the table
)

so as you can see i feel im pretty well balanced. Ive been thinking of taking incubi but id have to drop a squad of wyches and warriors, then because of their lack of fleeting i havent been able to get them into combat with everyone in tact, add to that that a 10 man squad with a loaded arcon master incubi, drazar and 7 incubi can get into the 500 point range (man if you could get them into cc things would die) they are some of the most expensive squads in the game (our only 3+ save
)
I hear people talk about webways but if you put a dracon on a bike like ive heard, army builder wont let you take the webway. I also hear about talos's being used as decoys, just something to shoot at and soak up damage, but one again they are so slow that most players ignore them for the 1st couple of turns.
anyways I what do you guys think f this as a tourny list, i think its pretty balanced and 23 lances is scary as hell to most players
