1750 Mechanized, a prospect list

Subject: 1750 Mechanized, a prospect list Thu May 19, 2011 7:41 pm

This is the first list I've made up based on the upcoming battleforce.
I will continue to make different kinds of lists until I feel comfortable with one, then buy myself some models and start the paint log.
Also to note is that this is my first serious attempt on Dark Eldar in 5th ed, I have close to no clue on how they function on the table top.
As an ork player I feel a little bit empty on the troop section, but perhaps that's the inexperienced DE general in me speaking.
The list is also meant to be semi-competitive, friendly gaming but not without a decent amount of hurt.

C&C is always welcome.

Cheers!

I wouldn't worry about haywires but if the points are spare it's ok

On both these units you can afford to drop the 5th non blaster man

I'd drop a wych from each of these squads and consider adding enhanced aether sails as this will allow you to get into posistion quicker (which also allows you to play from reserves) YMMV

I'd consider splitting this squad into 2 a) because 6 are hard to hide and b) because 2 gives you twice the distraction

The only way I would drop the ablative wounds in the blaster squads would be if I was adding them to the Wychs, other wise the list and SD's comments are right on.

@SD you and I will always disagree on Wych unit size it appears

I'd be tempted to drop the Night Shields in favor of getting a 10th Wych with another Shardnet into each of those squads, but that's just me.

I'll take your advice and divide the reavers in two squads, quite silly of me not thinking about that.
At first I used 9 with grav talons and cluster caltrops, must have been a remnant from that time.
Will proxy this army tomorrow against two mates, Chaos Space Marines and Space Yiffs.
I'll let you know how it turned out.
