Dark Eldar (Traditional)

So for the traditionalists out there that want to build an army based on warriors, incubi, and bikes here is something I think could compete. It brings a nasty 15 Dark Lances, 7 Blasters, and 6 Heat Lances for anti-tank. It has some decent combat punch and is very, very fast:



HQ-

Elite-

We'll probably see more than a few lists like this or slight variations of this from people not looking to change things up from the previous book. I think that more than a few people are stuck on the previous edition of lance spam and probably won't be able to make the jump to swiftly. Personally I don't like this list. It takes the heart of out the new book and lacks resiliency (yes I said that in relation to Dark Eldar). It might work for some people but when you can get Wracks w/Flamers for duality for the same cost it gets hard to want to take standard warriors. I think standard warriors are going to go the way of the Do-Do in regards to being troops since they just don't match up with Wyches, Wracks, and Hellions.
