Dark Eldar w/Webway Portal


So I'm still tweaking and toying with my DE. Some people thought the spam list was a personal list I was planning on running. Now while I like it I also like toys so here is a newer and I think improved version of my Baron list:

-HQ-

Baron-105

Haemonculus-85
Webway Portal

-Elite-

3 Trueborn-146
3xBlasters, Venom w/2 Splinter Cannons

3 Trueborn-146
3xBlasters, Venom w/2 Splinter Cannons

3 Trueborn-146
3xBlasters, Venom w/2 Splinter Cannons

-Troops-

12 Hellions-217
Champion, Agoniser

5 Wracks-120
Liquifier, Raider

5 Wracks-120
Liquifier, Raider

8 Wyches-186
Succubus, Agoniser, Haywire Grenades, Raider

5 Warriors-125
Blaster, Venom w/2 Splinter Cannons

5 Warriors-125
Blaster, Venom w/2 Splinter Cannons

-Fast Attack-

3 Beast Masters-156
4 Flockwings, 5 Kymera

-Heavy Support-

Ravager-105

So as you can see it's been tweaked a little. I added a 6th troop choice and another vehicle. The army itself has a nice spread of firepower (only 1 less St8 than the spam list) and is still heavily meched. 60 36" ranged poison shots isn't something to turn up a nose at either. There are a lot of different units being used which I like as well, more neat stuff to paint/convert.

But as for it's playability you could actually start the Haemon out with the Wyches, move 12" forward and deploy the Haemon and his WWP on the first turn. Then your beasts and likely your Hellions w/the Baron are going to be in assault range of something when they come in after taking no casualties for being your only non-mech on the table to start. This gives you some options on your deployment based on what you're playing and all for the cost of 35pts which in my opinion is a steal. But I'm a tool box kinda player generally J

Thoughts?

I'll confirm this tomorrow... but isnt the WWP an option only for the archon?

If thats the case, something like this could still work, but you'd be wrack free in the troops section. That probably means more wyches and more aggressive close combat game plan

Well it was an option via the scribd thing but I won't know for sure until my codex in the mail hopefully in tomorrow :)

I'm not sure I'd like the list without wracks but it's probably doable. I justed wanted some tougher scoring units.
