Plus I really like the fact they're super quick so are great for Maelstrom while Razorwings cannot claim at all. I'm also fairly certain there will be distinct lack of flyers about so I don't think Anti-flyer will be needed.
MSU is very strong at the moment so the more units that can claim/contest objectives the better imo.
Any chance you can get Heat lances on the 9man unit of Reavers? They are combat unit, but if you're deep striking them then heatlances into the rear of a tank could be nice (I know you're likely to deep strike the trueborn).
I'm no DE expert tho.. just observations from other lists.
Cheers for the tips. I was hoping the first list would be the favoured one as I love the look of Reavers! I have never played with or against Dark Eldar so I will need to get plenty of practice in. I can drop the Enhanced Aethersails from the 3 Raiders and change the Blast Pistol on the Dracon to Haywire Grenades to free up the points for 2 heat lances on the 9 man Reaver squad. So it would look like this:
List1:
CAD:
HQ1: Archon - Blaster, Haywire Grenades, Web Way Portal
Elite1: 5 Kabalite Trueborn - Dracon, Haywire Grenades, 4 Blasters (Transport1)
Troop1: 10 Kabalite Warriors (Transport2)
Troop2: 10 Kabalite Warriors (Transport3)
Troop3: 10 Kabalite Warriors (Transport4)
Troop4: 5 Kabalite Warriors, Blaster (Transport5)
Troop5: 5 Kabalite Warriors, Blaster (Transport6)
FA1: 9 Reavers - Arena Champion, Agoniser, 3 Cluster Caltrops, 2 Heat Lances
FA2: 3 Reavers - Heat Lance
FA3: 3 Reavers - Heat Lance
HS1: Ravager - 3 Dark Lances, Nightshields
HS2: Ravager - 3 Dark Lances, Nightshields
HS3: Ravager - 3 Dark Lances, Nightshields
Transport1: Raider - Dark Lance, Nightshields
Transport2: Raider - Dark Lance, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
Transport3: Raider - Dark Lance, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
Transport4: Raider - Dark Lance, Nightshields, Splinter Racks
Transport5: Venom - Additional Splinter Cannon
Transport6: Venom - Additional Splinter Cannon
Total: 1850pts
I am toying with the idea of planning on going second so my Deep Striking units have feel no pain before anyone gets to shoot at them. Any thoughts on that? It would also depend on how much line of sight blocking terrain is used in the tournament.
