Don't bother trying combatty DE, just stick in your Raiders and kite.

Haemonculi are cheapo HQs that can support your units.

Wyches can be 5 men with 2 Shredders, drop 2 S6 blasts and maybe tie things up in combat.

Warriors can be 10 men with dark lances and blasters.

Ravagers are a must, Dissies all day.

Raiders can be kept cheap, the only upgrade you really need is Night Shields. Beyond that, Slave Snares and Screaming Jets are handy.

Sit back and let all that firepower do your damage.

[SlavesToDarkness]

Agree with above. Get more units, more Raiders and as many Ravagers as you can get. All that fast flying stuff is a nightmare for MEQs and Orks.

[islyfe]

More raider and ravagers less bodies Darklances on your troops, shredders on your wytches and dissies on your ravagers.

btw: Are you intrested in buying some DE stuff(new on sprue)?

[Mr. Smith]

Now why shredders, because judging by the amount of space marines and marine like entitiies out in the universe, those blasts with no ap are dealing with 3+ armor save. Instead of blasters that will most likely kill two, and if your lucky the pistols might kill one as well. Then you assault.

And we'll talk, I haven't gotten my battle force yet, but when it comes, I'll atleast ask you how put those damn raiders and Ravagers together, because they look like a *****.

[Chumbalaya]

2 S6 blasts can force a lot of saves so even marines will fail a few, you won't always be playing marines, and AP3 isn't so hot considering how prevalent cover is.

[Mr. Smith]

I was basing this list of of what I'm most likely am going to be playing against most often at the game store, most likely some Space Wolves, some Imperial Guard, the armies of the people who I most likely will be playing against in the local gamestore.

But back on the subject of those blasts, after looking at them, I would have assumed that those are for the horde armies. Used to take out some boys or a put a wound on a warrior.
