Need Help, Starting DE again
« on: June 13, 2013, 09:37:25 AM »
So Awhile ago I bought a bunch of DE models when the new codex first came out and I am dusting them off again for a campaign. I have only played DE once but I have a general understanding of how they play so I built a list based on what I have.

Here are the models I have:
-Archon
-2 raiders
-Venom
-20 wyches
-20 kabalite warriors
-9 reavers
-ravager
-Razorwing/voidraven bomber
-5 scourges

Here is my list so far

Archon*- Huskblade, combat drugs, shadowfield, webway portal

Bloodbrides* (x4)- razorflail

Venom*- night shields

Kabalite warriors (x10)- splinter cannon (raider with splinter racks, night shields, disintigrator)

Kabalite warriors(x10)- Dark lance (raider with splinter racks, night shields, dark lance)

Wyches(x10)- 2x razorflails

Scourges(x5)- 2x dark lances

Reavers(x6)- 2x blasters

Voidraven Bomber- 4x implosion missiles

Ravager- night shields, 3x Dark lances

*these models are in 1 unit together (archon and bloodbrides in a venom)
this list is around 1500 points

comments and criticism are welcome

The problem with giving Scourges Dark Lances is the same that your Warriors in Raider will have - if they move, you can only snap shoot.  But their main advantage is manouvrability, so you want to move.  Give the Scourges Haywire Blasters or (dark light) Blasters, and give both Warrior Squads Splinter Cannons and Blasters.

Implosion Missiles are scary, but massively expensive, and the enemy can still take cover saves.  For the price of the ordnance your Voidraven is carrying, you could get another Ravager with Shadowfield!  The Voidraven's primary armament is our best anti-tank gun, so you would be more efficient concentrating on this role rather that loading up with very expensive anti-infantry missiles.
