So Dark Eldar players got any good tactics and want to share them, well this would be the place, I know our only other D.E player is Brak. So Brak I want to know if you have any tactics that have been good to you or even an army list that you use.

Well if ya want i can give you my all famous (where i play anyway) 1k List, which came out on top in a mini tourney me and my mates played........ Ive only had one loss with this list........ Hang on ill go get it..... ok here we go

Archon Brak'hir: Shadow field, Combat Drugs, Power weapon, RJB, Tormentor helm, Hell mask...

Shadow field is a must have for any Archon, that 2++ save is just too good to pass up..... Combat drugs are also essential for an A#$ Kicking lord imo, i usually take the 1+A and Re-roll Miss hits option..... +1 Strength Is good against low T opponents as you may end up wounding on 2's :lol:...... RJB for the speed to get into combat.......T.Helm for that extra attck....... Power weapon to negate saves (Derr).... Hell mask, comes in handy every now and then.....


Heamonculus: Stinger, Webway portal

My heamie is used as a portal transporter....... I send him up a flank protected by the 1st squad of warriors and he dumps his portal down and the combat horrors jump out at point blank range and rip the enemy to shreads..... Stinger is just there because its on the model i bought, only costs 5 points :P plus its fun to make gretchin explode lol

15 Wyches: Wyche weapons, Succubus with Agoniser and combat weapon.......

These gals are my main bulk in combat...... I know its a bit of a risk without a raider, but my heamie usually gets nice and close so they can assault before the enemy gets to shoot :)
Wych weapons are standard equiptment, they are very very useful.......trust me <_<

12 Warriors: 2 splinter Cannons, 2 blasters

The Heamies escort.....They just sit in front of the heamie (who is an independant character btw) and shoot the bejeezus out f whatever steps in front with theyr assault 4 cannons and S8 Blasters.......(once they went through a land raider, followed by a predator.......these guys stop at nothing lol)

10 warriors: 2 dark lances

My sniper team, they shoot tanks to peices........ same rules as bright lances i might add, so you should know how effective they are on stuff with armour value

10 warriors: 2 dark lances

See above (not a typo, i have 2)

Talos

Gotta love a S7, T7 D6+1 attacks on the charge killing machine.........Nuff said.....
Now you get either two effects with the talos......They avoid it like roadkill, or throw everyhing they HAVE at it....... Both are fine with me :lol: The only downside is the 6" movement, but thats ok as mine comes out of the web way portal......


Ravager: 2 disintegrators

The anti marine tank........ If i had 3 dissies on this baby it would be firing 9 S4 AP3 shots a turn........but unfortunatly i lost one of the disintegrators, so i just use two :angry:

There ya have it folks, my Butt kicking Kabal of the Severed Head.......Lock your doors at night :ph43r:
Theres this site that has A LOT of awesome D.E Tactics, but its down right now..... When its up and running Ill give you the URL........ And i thought my last post was long :lol:

Cheers Guys, BrAk'Hir

very interesting list, im just having to pull out my DE codex to check on some things, that i can see working against you, i guess not so i wont bother.

so how do you normally use this list?

Ummm well, The warriors, Ravager, Heamie Start on the board, with the sniper teams and ravager sitting back and blowing all the tanks up and maybe even geting a shot off at a character or two

(This actually does work sometimes, when the enemy 200pnt character is standing in the open and i Nail him with an Instant kill)

Then the Heamie moves up the board under cover with the 12 man warrior squad shielding him........ He gets nice and close and opens the portal, And 15 bloodthirty wyches, a tooled up lord and a talos pounce onto the nearest squad, and from that consolidate into the next (or if thats not possible, just move as close, or if necesary into cover) squad. The lord never has this problem because of his 24" Movement....... The wyches Move 6"+D6, assault 6" and then if i get the 12" assault drug an extra six.........

Thats basically it, if im versing a certain army of coarse i would alter the tactic, but this is the base of things........

Brak'hir P.S (looken forard to your Critiscism/army list Euleze lol)

Hey Brak, how do Talos' go in battle. I've never used one before, weird <_<

Talos are awesome in battle, although, funny enough, they work best in pairs....

The shooting isnt that great, but like wyches they shouldnt be out of combat for too long.....although it might hurt some Low T guys......

In combat, they are generally awesome

D6 attacks, get a 3+ and thats a lot of S7 attacks.......Marines wound him on a 6!!

S3 guys cant hurt it at all!!! it's the bane of anything S3 or lower....

Roll a one curse your luck, maybe you will kill one guy but i guess you can always wait till next turn.......

If your tank gets confonted by a talos you can kiss its a$$ goodbye......

Roll say 4 attacks, hit with 3, and thats 2+ to the armour penetration roll......

You gotta try one, everyone is scared of the floating death machine......

yes, i promised you a site full of tactics, so here they are:

http://www.40konline.com/mos/index.php?opt...=101&Itemid=500

^^ thats a pretty good one, but from there just click the little blue back at the bottom for more....

Plus they have broken it down into the core groups, if you want specific tactics...

E.g H.Q,Troops, Elite etc

Not all of them are good (in fact some are pretty rubbish) but there are a few worth reading, so i hope u find one that helps you......

Plus theres a bit about which weapons work wel against necrons somewhere in there Meaphet......

Brak'hir

Wow, I would mind using these tactics against other players, some of these are great

Oh good :P
I think there are some eldar ones there, you eldar guys might wanna check them out

If I put my Archon on a skyboard can I give him the webway portal and then deep strike him and then deploy the portal?

Nope cus you cant give a guy on a skyboard a wwp. If you really wanted to deep strike, you could put your lord on a raider with screaming jets and deep strike him in, and the deploy. Bit of a risk though.

Cheers, Brak-

my favourite tactic now is to run my archon on a jet bike with this set up

jetbike
combat drugs
tormentor helm
punisher
plasma grenades

this close combat monster is awsome with 6 re-rollable St5 attacks in CC with no armour SV is great.
i put him in a squad of 5 reavers with 2 blasters and a succubus kitted out with a punisher tormnertor helm.

and yes 2 handed weapons on bike riders are now legal.
