Would appreciate some help from you good people if possible.
I have acquired the new dark eldar codex and im still undecided about how to approach running them.
My first idea was something based around the following:
2 or 3 units of Wyches all led by a Haemonculae for the feel no pain transported in Raiders
Three Ravagers
Wracks as troops
1 or 2 units of Incubi
Reaver Jetbikes
Maybe a unit of grotesques
Would this potentially work? How would you equip these to work most effectively?
Then i got to thinking...................Man!! those transports and Vehicles are very very squishy. So i started thinking about webway portals. I love the idea of these but are they really effective?
My impressions are you woud need at least two or three to guarantee getting them where you want them. Additionally you will need a transport to be able to do this as quick as possible. Infact i would say this needs to be deployed first turn and really you need to go first to avoid getting shot to pieces before getting a chance to deploy them.
So i was thinking of taking Vect and maybe Baron to almost guarantee the first turn Alpha strike. Everything will be in reserve first turn except the three Raiders with the Haemonculi in. Bomb them forward and disembark and deply the portals. Protect the portal with the unit and Haemonculi in the opposition players turn (Feel no pain will help here). Next turn bring out the pain, multiple maximum units of Wyches, Talos Pain Engines. Reavers, Hellions etc etc.
How would you advise running a webway portal list? Is this viable? And am i on the right tracks with the above?
Next up i was thinking of running a list with a Synergistic feel to it. I mean by generating lots of pain tokens. The list woud be based around the following:
6 Haemonculi
3 Chronos Parasite Engines
Multiple Units Of Wracks
Grotesques
So everything in the army will have Feel No Pain minimum. Sounds like fun.
So any advice on running the above? Again, is this viable? Am i on the right tracks with the way i'm approaching it?
Maybe even a combined Webway portal and Synergy pain token list would be viable with Vect and three Haemonculi, Multiple units of Wracks, Grotesques, 3 Chronos Engines? Decisions, Decisions...............
Your advice would be greatly appreciated guys.
