I did a up a quick list just now using the EpicUK list for a 3000 point tournament force.
It combines the Scourges and mandrakes you seem to like, and adds in Reavers for speed and objective grabbing, and fast march moving to support engagements. 2 Vessels of Pain for added fire support.
There is a portable webway portal to allow some units to be deployed from it. There are 2 Razorwing formations for AA and Strafing. The mandatory Incubi, which since it must be the BTS, is costed higher than the rest of the list. The 2 Syndicates are there because they have to be, and to help in engagements.
Dark Eldar 3000 point list using EpicUK list 50 Points – Portable Webway Portal Kabals – 1100 350 points – Coterie: Archon, 6Incubi, 4 Venoms, 1 Raider, Ravager 225 points – Flotilla: 4 Ravagers 275 points – Syndicate: Dracon, 6 Warriors, 2 Venoms, 2 Raiders 250 Points – Syndicate: Dracon, 6 Warriors, 3 Raiders Partisans – 1450 250 Points – Reaver Gang: Succubus, 6 Reavers 250 Points – Reaver Gang: Succubus, 6 Reavers 250 Points – Heavy Barge: 1 Vessel of Pain 250 Points – Heavy Barge: 1 Vessel of Pain 250 Points – Scourges: 6 Scourges 200 Points – Mandrakes: 6 Mandrakes Aircraft – 400 200 Points – Razorwings: 2 Razorwing Fighters 200 Points – Razorwings: 2 Razorwing Fighters
I was thinking that you could drop one of the reaver gangs, and replace it with talos who would deploy from the portable wraithgate. The extra 25 points can be spent on another 2 venoms to replace a raider in one of the syndicates. The venoms decrease the amount of units lost when a LV is lost, and increases the engagements FF attacks. It also increases the number of models, making the formation harder to break.
The force would be
Dark Eldar 3000 point list using EpicUK list 50 Points – Portable Webway Portal Kabals – 1125 350 points – Coterie: Archon, 6 Incubi, 4 Venoms, 1 Raider, Ravager 225 points – Flotilla: 4 Ravagers 275 points – Syndicate: Dracon, 6 Warriors, 2 Venoms, 2 Raiders 275 Points – Syndicate: Dracon, 6 Warriors, 2 Venoms, 2 Raiders Partisans – 1425 250 Points – Reaver Gang: Succubus, 6 Reavers 225 Points – Talos: 4 Talos 250 Points – Heavy Barge: 1 Vessel of Pain 250 Points – Heavy Barge: 1 Vessel of Pain 250 Points – Scourges: 6 Scourges 200 Points – Mandrakes: 6 Mandrakes Aircraft – 400 200 Points – Razorwings: 2 Razorwing Fighters 200 Points – Razorwings: 2 Razorwing Fighters
Both these lists seem a little more flexible, have high activation counts, and can be useful in a good combination of shooting and engagements to weaken the enemy just before the DE assault/FF where they excel.
It is a pity the EpicUK list does not have a Tormentor Titan. They rock.
There was a discussion recently on war engine transports, particularly looking at barges of pleasure, slavebringers, and executioners. It seems that a war engine can drop off a formation, and pick them up as through it were a normal transport, if it is a dedicated transport, however you have to modify how you use the war engine if it is not a dedicated transport.
I can not seem to find it now, but hopefully someone else can find a link to it for you.
