In the rules pack we are more awared if we have a story for our army so i want to see what other people think about mine.
Just another Victim.
Sister Ursula looked around her, the sudden attack of the Eldar pirates had takenthem by surprise. She quickly yelled out some orders to hold the line in the name of the Emperor.
Picking up another round she shot at any Eldar who tried to get closer towards her position, noticing that these warriors looked like they were just playing with them. Rage filled here and she ordered her unit to take up swords and take the fight to there foes.
"For the Emperor!" they yelled when they charged their enemy reallising their mistake to late as one by one here unit was either slaughtered or captured until Ursula was the only one left. A circle of half naked Eldar pirates surrounded her with an opening in front of her.
Moments later a single Eldar female walked towards her speaking something in her own tong. Still filled with rage Ursula charged the Eldar Female slashing her sword down only to meet the emptiness of air.
A whisper in her ear was the last thing she heared before she passed out.

What you think about the story and the list.
darthken - October 19, 2007 09:18 PM (GMT)
the story is ok short and to the point. a good opener for your army. Lets people know what the list is without giving to much away.
the List
drop the blaster and shredder from your wych squads, most of the time your wyches will be using FoF to get into H2H and wont be able to use these weapons.
crucible of malediction: if you must use it give it to a succubus not in your lords retinue. you cant move or shoot the turn it is used and you really don't want your Archites uint standing immobile for a turn.
mandrakes: drop them entirely
im assuming that you will be using your bike squads as mobile tank hunters as they are not set up for CC. if this is the case give them each another blaster.
As you already have good tank killing abilitiy id upgrade the ravager with 3 disintegrators this will help you soften up enemy troops before your wyches assault.
The big thing to remember with wych squads is that their special rules only apply when they are in H2H so don't leave them hanging around to be shot at.

The jetbikes are more ment to distract the enemy. The Blaster is an option that becomes available when they somehow manage to survive.
Crusible was just put at hq to show iuse it. (might make those new lash wannabes pay dearly)
The Blaster/shredders are on the models but i don't mind dropping them.
Thanks for the tips you have given already i'll try to icorporate those in the list.

im assuming this is a list for a tournament so make sure you let us know what your finall list looks like
and also how well you went in the tournament.
Spacefrisian - October 19, 2007 10:33 PM (GMT)
Yes it is for a tournament and my guess is that most around here don't know enough about the Dark Eldar.
I'll tell the score when i have played it.
darthken - October 19, 2007 10:45 PM (GMT)
yes not many DE players around ATM only really myself and thats about it.
Also two points i missed if you can find the points try to get xenospasm in your list somewhere. ( like horrofex only better) this item has helped me out quite a few times now
and your wych lords retinue change it to a normal troop choice. this is because
A: their options and upgrades are exactly the same.
B: it will look better in a tournament to have more "troop choices" as such. it will help with your composition score.
Spacefrisian - October 22, 2007 04:59 PM (GMT)
But i don't realy like uneven numbers for a squad and i wouldn't want my HQ running alone without transport. Although she might reach the other side unnoticed cause she has some form of camouflage colour. (ed cloured army black Hq).
darthken - October 22, 2007 05:12 PM (GMT)
Sorry i didn't put that to well did I.
What i meant was you take 9 Wyches with all the upgrades as a troop choice and have you Wych lord join them.
Its exactly the same as her retinue but giving you another troop choice.
there i hope that explaine what i was trying to get across a bit better.
