45 Games with Dark Eldar

**BuFFo** · 10-13-2010, 08:58 AM

I guess the purpose of this thread could be changed...

Tell the community your experiences with Dark Eldar. Your games. Your scenery. Your gripes, concerns, wants and needs.

Have fun!

Here are some battle reports from when I used to play Warhammer 40k with the Dark Eldar.

Sounds good.

Why not make it a round 50 instead of 45?- that way it would be easier to work out percentage of win/lose/draw.

He's playing 3 different style builds; Kabalite, Wych and Haemonculi.
So, 15 games per type.

I think it would be interesting to follow an experienced DE player adapt to the new codex.

**BuFFo** · 10-13-2010, 10:42 AM

Ugh...

I am going to expand on these later on, but I just ran into the biggest change for the Dark Eldar....

Horrorfexes are gone!!!! The most fun, tactful aspect of the Dark Eldar army, the ability to actually PIN units, is now gone. The GW design team has now, officially, killed Pinning, as now no army can do it reliably. What does this mean? Instead of putting Long Fangs down on the ground, I now have to suicide charge them with X unit to kill them. This has removed a lot of strategy and tactics the Dark Eldar codex 'had', and is reinforcing the brainless Alpha Strike strategy of the 4th edition Turn 1 kill.

Losing Horrorfexes is going to be my biggest adjustment. It has completely changed the way I look at the Codex when making an army.

POR QUE!?!?!?!?!?

I fail to see how you need to sacrifice a unit to kill some Long Fangs. Can't you just do a flyby with Reavers and drop some caltrops on their heads, then repeat until no Long Fangs are left standing?

Don't worry - today BuFFo and I played and the video batrep is being spliced together.

Its not G-rated either. Language ****s be warned.

I want to see what happens when you run Incubi and Reavers together.
