I have some of my models painted up and together with the unpainted ones I should have about 1200 points. I haven't made an army list and am waiting for the Army Builder to get here since I'm lazy, but I'll start on it tonite. Here go some pics. Thanks to TheEagle for helping me collect this force. Enjoy.

Archon and retinue

Archon and retinue

His Evilness himself! The Archon

Master of Incubi. Note the launcher on his arm for the xenospasm!

Mistress of Incubi, also with xenospasm

Haemonculus. Mistress of pain

Haemonculus with a squad of raiders

Raiders, These will be for close combat and to ride on Raiders when I get some.

More Raiders

My best Raiders yet.

Ravager squads. These will be sniper and support squads.

My Scourges. They really aren't bad troops in spite of the bad rap they get. I need more Splinter cannons!

My baby! The Talos. I'm working on another one.

My first Ravager

Second Ravager

O man, those are so nice! Great job! Just need to get like 6 raiders..lol

I still need to paint up some wyches but I probably won't start a wych cult, I'll just add them to the cabal. My Haemonculus has a respected position (especially once her second Talos gets painted) I'm gonna build up an army themed around a Haemonculus Coven. This will consist of frightningly large warrior squads (the better to carry away those heavy Space Marines and Tyranid critters) and plenty of fast attack, Scourges for humanoid armies and all the Talos I can take for Tyranids.
Ernest
PS: You know why they call the Talos a torture device? because it's a torture to assemble! :P I'm not patient enough to sit and baby-sit two pieces of lead and wait for them to stick. I keep plenty of milliput on hand and pack it into the the loose parts of that Talos.
I also use plastic sprues to mount my Dark lances and destructors on my Ravagers. I don't know how GW expected us to mount anything with those tiny mounting pieces. I'v seen some people glue gunner and gun on a base to make them removeable if need be.
I hate those flying bases that come with the skimmers. Since I smoke cigars, I went to the head shop and bought those awful machine rolled cigars. They come in plastic storage tubes. Saw off the round end off the cigar tubes and glue the tubes to the round base These make great stands for your Raiders and Ravagers. That thin pintle just wasn't made to support anything larger than the Talos. Just some ramblings...

Great work there. Its nice to see armies mostly painted.

Everything in PS I agree 100%..Well, besides the Talos because I have yet to get one..I dont' have any support..And I desperatly need wyches. My only elites are 6 Grotesques that I put with Urien in a HQ slot. But I do have 3 raiders.. >= ) Just 3 more to go..heh

You know, even though we've never talked about Dark Eldar other than that assanine quantity of e-Bay link i whipped at you, we both have the same idea for the army. :lol:

I'm also doing a Haemonculus army. Only mine is going to be a Haemonculus personal troops.

Anyways, i really like your army. Not a huge fan of the lighter purple, but that might just look a little washed out in the picture. Either way, still a good job. ;)

Thanks for the comments fellas. TheEagle, without those ebay links I probably would've just have half of what I got. I still have a quart sized plastic bag full of warriors that need painting. I know I said I'd have an army list ready but I've been too busy at work and plop in the bed as soon as I get home in the evenings. But I WILL get that list ready and finish the other Talos, 12 more warriors, 9 wyches and finish a used raider I bought off of ebay. My brother lit the beacons of war for a game at his house this Saturday or Sunday! Still waiting for feedback from my brother-in-law and our friend to come to a decision. I guestimate that I have about 1500 points worth. I don't know if I will face a Tau, Tyranid force or those hated Ultramarines.
Ernest

Good luck with the battle. ;) And if its Tau, CAPTURE AND TORTURE SOME FOR ME!

Darn! The game was postponed. I was ready to try my little cabal out on some Space Marines or Tau. It was gonna be a 1250 point game and this is what I brought:
Archon
Shadowfield and Agonizer
Archon's Retinue
Master of Incubi with Xenospasm
7 Incubi all with Punisher and Tormentor Helms
2 warriors with Splinter Cannon

Haemonculus
With Stinger and Webway Portal
Haemonculus would join a warrior squad:
Sybarite with Terrorfex
10 warriors, 2 with Splinter Cannon

(I'm a firm believer in Terrorfexes) The squad numbers are not in order and the numbers are just for designation purposes. I put roman numbers at the base of the Sybarites to show who has certain artifacts such as Webway portals and stuff. That way the opponent can't say I'm cheating.

Warrior Squad III
Sybarite with Terrorfex
10 Warriors 2 with Splinter Cannons
Raider with Night Shield

Warrior Squad VI
Sybarite with Terrorfex, Webway Portal
10 warriors 2 with Dark Lance

2 Talos
Ravager with 3 Dark Lance, Torture Amp and Night Shield.

I would usually give the Archon Mask of the Damned and make Poisoned Blades the norm but they would have passed the point limit. I realize it's a noobie list and it may be a little muscled out for such a small game. But I know the opponent would try to squeeze in atleast 1 tank or skimmer.
Ernest

Well brethren, It's been awhile but I'm back. It's been 10 months now and I still haven't tried my kabal in a full blown battle, my Orks keep getting in the way (another fast army btw). This weekend may be the one, unless I can get this pretty young lady at work to go on a date with me! My brother, brother-in-law and friend plan to get together this weekend for 2000 point games. Here goes my
army list.
I'm a big fan of terrorfex. The fools must not be allowed to get close enough to assault us!

HQ
Archon
Agonise, splinter pistol (soul seeker ammo), shadow field, mask of the damned, xenospasm
Retinue
Incubi Mistress
Punisher, soul seeker ammo
6x Incubi
Plasma grenandes, 1 blaster, 1 shredder, rest have punishers
2x warriors
plasma grenades, splinter cannon
HQ
Haemonculus
Scissorhand, stinger, hell mask, terrorfex, webway portal

ELITES
Wych Succubus
CC weapon, splinter pistol, combat drugs, terrorfex
9x wyches
1 shredder, all others armed standard
Raider
Dark lance, slave snares, torture amp, horrorfex and night shield

TROOPS
Haemonculus Squad
Sybarite
Poisoned blades, splinter pistol (soul seeker ammo) haywire grenades
16x Warriors
1 Dark lance, all others have splinter rifles

Warrior Squad
Sybarite
Poisoned blades, splinter pistol (soul seker ammo) terrorfex, webway portal
19x Warriors
2 Dark lance, all others have splinter rifles

Warrior Squad
Sybarite
Poisoned blades, splinter pistol (Soul seeker ammo) Haywire grenades, terrorfex
17 Warriors
2x Splinter cannons, all others have splinter rifles

HEAVY SUPPORT
Ravager
3x Dark Lance, Night Shield, Scythes

Ravager
3x Dark Lance, Horrorfex, night shield, screaming jets

Scourges
Sybarite
Poinsoned blades, splinter rifle (soul seeker ammo), terrorfex
9x Scourges
3x Splinter cannon

This is pretty much, the models I have. I want tough HQ and Hemi. Swarming warior Squads and fast Elites and Hvy Support. Terrorfex will hopefully keep the enemy from laying hands or claws on our fine bodies! I plan to have the Haemonculus lead the attack and drop the Webway Portal when they get close to any large troop target or juicy hvy support. This will summon the Lord with retinue.
one ravager with screaming jets will come in reserve to suprise the enemy.
Scourges will deploy at start of game along with the rest of the army. Reserve rolls take too long and I will need most of my foot slogger force at the start. I will keep all skimmers out of rapid fire range much as possible to give the Night Shields the best chance to work.
All units will work in teams of 2 to support another unit. DE units do not stand well alone. Fast with heavy, troop with troop and Haemonculus squad will summon the Lord. One other squad also has a Webway Portal incase the Haemonculus falls.

Thoughts and comments welcome. game will be this Saturday, unless I get lucky and get a date.
Ernest

there are a couple of changes id make Korlian - give combat drugs to your archon

and maybe drop the haywire grenades,u look like you have enough dark lances for taking out vehicles anyway.

i never ever give any vehicle upgrades at all. IMHO raiders are only good for 2 things: speeding your assault troops across the board
and dying in a suitable spot to block line of sight to your own troopsl

these are just some of the tactics i use here and they have been pretty effective

as im not sure what army your opponent is using i won't go into any of my army specific tactics.

have a look at my army list and you'll see what i usually run and what tactics i use ( Kabal of the Venomed Fang)

I like the idea of CC drugs for the Archon, maybe the Haemonculus as well? I'll strip down the skimmers and remove the night shield, screaming jets and scythes. I really want to leave the slave chains on the one raider. I may be facing either Tau or Space Marines. If it's Space marines, then the slave chains may be the only chance I get to collect any prisoner. Their "They shall know no fear" rule allows them to survive fall backs.
Ernest

if your playing agianst those lowly space marines put 3 disintegrators on your Ravagers. they are absolutely brilliant for killing them. either single or multi shot still negates their AS.

i personally never leave home without them.

Well, no date this weekend :( But the game is on! :ph43r: Beer, pizza and let the killing happen. Whoever the enemy is! May the One Who Thirsts, humor me.
Ernest

Well...Last weekend was total crash & burn. Didn't get the date and lost the battle. The kabal of the Green Impalers failed Commorragh. The tau player set up first, which let me deploy my units in the choicest spots behind cover. It was just a matter of leapfroggin over cover and blasting his darn Devilfish (or whatever it calls itself) with my ravagers. The one by his stingray had 3 Dark Lances. The one by his HQ had 3 Disintegrators. I left the webway portal at home and chose to bring everyone on the board at once. What could go wrong?!
I didn't take notes for a good battle report, it was a Kill to the Last man mission. The game was mostly over by turn 4. I learned that if Dark Eldar don't take out Hvy support by first or second turn, they won't get another chance! Ontop of that, I kept rolling 1's and 2's. Really bad rolls. DAMMIT! I need to get more raiders into the unit, more Reavers and Wyches. Some Hellions or Mandrakes for distraction wouldn't be bad either.
Ernest

forget the hellions and mandrakes, 2 biggest space wasters in our codex IMHO. and get rid of the scourages as well.

and your troop squads either make them into sniper squads or assault squads don't try to make them both cause you'll just waste points.
