Umm a few things, is that your entire army or just an army list, cause if it is an army list a few things come to mind. One, you have to many HQ units, a max of only 2 HQ units are allowed same also applies with your elites, you have 4 and you can only have 3.

Other things I found, your force is too slow for a D.E army. You should drop one the the talos' and the Scourges (cause there really not worth it). Only have one hamie cause they are strong but slow, I would probably keep your Special Character.

Also if your going to have Grotesques in the force don't put them on raiders as they will either get killed once they step off of it or the raider will get destroyed.

Umm, tell me how you going using the Warp Beasts I have never used them and I am a bit iffy about trying them.

Wyches are a great choice, tried putting them one a raider it works really well. Umm try to get more fast attack troops, becasue of the flat out reason that D>E armies rely heavly on speed and not a lot on heavy support. I find getting two squads of reaver jetbikes is always rewarding.

Also try to incorpirate a ravenger into the army, becasue they are very fast but also very powerful, and also very handy, espically when going against Space Marines and Necrons.

One last thing try giving your troops some heavy fire power like dark lances and splinter cannons. Casue I find it easier to just keep the troops as long range support

Sorry if I just destroyed your list, but it had to be done to up hold D.E pride

Actually, all three Hamunculus' are one choice. I just wrote them seperate for ease of reading online. Going from Excell to HTML is generally a bit... dicy, to say the least.

And the Elites. Theres a not next to the warp beast pack, which i hope i didn't misread, saying that if you have a squad of wyches, they don't take up an elites slot. I'm probably wrong. :D It is almost my first look at the newest codex.

And this is my "Theme army". (Yeah... i know... shoot the newb). So for now its combat effectiveness is going to be... less than very. But i will definately tell you how the warp beasts work.

And also keep all the suggestions in mind. Not a newb to 40k, but damned if i've ever played anything but Imperial... and a short Tau stint...

And actually... i have but 2 models... so far... MWA HA HA HA HA HA!!!

Yep okay thats cool, umm I'm just wondering where it says that Wyches are not inculded as an elite choice or am I misunderstanding what you wrote

Please clarify thanks

Actually, i meant the Warp Beasts. The Wyches give you a Warp Beast Pack.

Hope i don't make this sound like an arse...

Codex: Dark Eldar SE

Page 9, Middle of the page, in the grey area:

QUOTE
If you have any squads of Wyches in your army you may take a squad of Warp Beasts. The Warp Beasts are a seperate unit, but do not count as a seperate Elites choice with regard to the number of Elite units you may have in the army.


WOOT! After re-reading it... i didn't misread it... WOOT!

Free Elites choice... boo yeah... Well, not FREE... 75 points for a full squad... but still... :D

Euleze - December 29, 2006 07:35 AM (GMT)
Yes, ok that's cleared up

Warp Beast kick arse. Trust me..Once you get them in their first CC you will love them. I only have 3 and they easily took out a whole squad of 20 guardsmen. Also your Grots are gonna get a lot of heavy fire so that will help your Beast and Wyches make it up there along with keeping some raiders in tack..Unless your opponet is smart. I like it.
