| Allright, I have been taking my Guard list to tournaments recently, but miss the Dark Eldar. I want to be competitive, hold objectives and be able to erase units if needed. So, at a tournament I am going to be running:
Dark Eldar 2000 Points
SIX (6) units of the following: 16 Kabalite Warriors dracon with agonizer 2 warriors with Dark lance 1 warrior with blaster
One (1) unit of: 10 Mandrakes
TWO (2) units of: Arcon/Agonizer (1 has parasites Kiss and hatred eternal)
One (1) unit of: 4 scourges w/Dark Lance 1 Solarite w/Blast pistol
One (1) Unit of: 19 Hellions 1 Helliarch
11 Drops 6 Command Points
Will use 1 Cp to Deep Strike hellions if needed (probably needed)
This will pretty much negate the effectiveness of enemy heavy weapons, as well as have a huge footprint that can control almost any objective. The Arcons are not too shabby with heroic intervention, and 20 warriors (1 with multiple attacks and an agonizer) can whittle down more expensive units. I do forsee using 2 CP to keep a unit or two alive though. Hellions are key (brought in turn 2 or later), my best anti air as well as tank hunters if my lances are failing me. The mandrakes are sneaky good, with 20 shots that can cause mortal wounds on the drop in, a nice number of attacks and -1 to hit in cc as well as shooting.
I will let you all know how it turns out. _________________ Never fistfight with ugly people. They have nothing to lose.

| Please Do! Love the list. Very interested to hear how it performs at a tournament. Do you get much use out of the blast pistol on the solarite? He often is the first bullet catcher for me to preserve my DLs. | |

| he is for me too, but I had 10 points left over exactly... not much else to spend it on... _________________ Never fistfight with ugly people. They have nothing to lose.

| No, never found them worth their points. If i was banking on LD shenanigans, I would use them, but I would rather shoot twice with a rifle. _________________ Never fistfight with ugly people. They have nothing to lose.

You can use your PGL in addition to your riffles. | |

| ^I can confirm that you are allowed to shoot both the PGL and your model's main weapon, I'm away from home at the moment so I can't find the specific rule, but all you have to do is hit them with the grenade, if you even kill anything with it is just a bonus. https://www.thedarkcity.net/t15745-phantasm-grenade-launcher _________________ Want to chat in real time with your fellow archons?

| Hmm. Well, as the pistol will never get a shot off anyway, i will switch it up to three PGL's. _________________ Never fistfight with ugly people. They have nothing to lose.

| Good choice.
3 PGLs will make back their pts, and then some. | |

| Modified it a bit after playtesting for this weekends tournament. Dropped the scourges- they were useless. Took -1 CP and grabbed 6 fire dragons who will port in, and added another PGL to a warrior unit.
In practice, the games have all been positive, had a draw against 1 baneblade and 2 knight list, but overall looking good.
MVP every game so far have been the 20 man unit of Hellions. _________________ Never fistfight with ugly people. They have nothing to lose.
