Welcome to Gaia! ::

Whoa there... First I see a few things wrong.

Your bodyguards do not need Blacksun filters as the Shas'O gives them nightfighting with his.

Second, why are you taking Plasma Rifles on the Broadsides? You don't have a multi-tracker on the units so they can't fire both and there's no point in firing them within 12 inches, because if they get within 12 of your Broadsides there's a huge issue happening there and the Plasma Rifles wont solve that.

Lastly is the Shield Generator.. Why? It's 5 points more expensive than a shield drone, who also gives you an extra wound to the squad. Heck bring two shield drones with all the points you'd save by removing the Plasma Rifles.


Next, you don't have a lot of mobility.. Atleast not the type of mobility you need. That's troop mobility. Yes, you can use the Pathfinder Devilfish for one squad but give the other one a Devilfish. I know they're not perfect but with a 3+ cover save outside of 12" and you're laughing to the bank with them despite their lack luster shooting against MEQ armies.

My final advice? Give that commander some shield drones for the love of the Ethereals. I see 3 suits like that hoppin around and I'll throw any Lascannon/Krak missile equivalent at them and watch them all melt due to instant death. Easily the strongest units in our codex are simply wasted without any shield drone support.

Edit: Also forgot, bring more troop choices! You should have atleast 1 Troop base, and 1 Troop choice per 500 points. You could get away with 3 Troops, but in all honesty 4 would be better, especially with all of the objective type game modes now if you plan on winning any games you'd best be able to have plenty of scoring units!

It's no worries about the Broadsides having them on, just let anyone you play against know that the model needs some work and its not finished yet. Super glue, freeze the model it makes the glue really fragile so age been told. Also don't worry too much about what you see is what you get. If someone is trying to enforce it upon you, you're better off not playing them. With little things like your current models.

Yeah, they give a lot of them but I use them all for the most part. I just use two antennas on a gun drone without the guns for shield drones. My current list has about 8 shield drones give or take. Depends on what I bring.

No worries, just leave it in the freezer for a long time. About a whole day to make it brittle it should just pop off. Might need a little bit of work though to do it.

All my advice comes from experience with said units. Great expeience of watching points horribly wasted and units horribly murdered. ):

This is a list I've been using lately.

This list is built to shoot while on the move, and to outmanouver my enemies, and it's been working pretty well in my local meta.

The Kabalites form up the bulk of my force, and they're built to deal with infantry. Splinter racks help me with 2 things. To barely get any misses with my splinter rifles as I get to re-roll hits, and to hit more of my targets the times my raiders have to move over 6".

The weaponry of the raiders could all be anti-armor, but I do like some more anti infantry those times I face pesky terminators or the likes of that, they have also fared quite well against armor 10 vehicles by spamming shots onto them.

The main anti armor force in my army is my trueborn, with an effective range of 24" they have taken out quite a lot of tanks when I've used them, but their fragile but effective transports excell in helping my warriors to gun down unfortunate footsloggers and monsters alike.

The Ravager is something that's been questioned by everyone here, and frankly I like dissintegrator cannons as they're marine-eating machines! I think I have the local meta-armor covered from the trueborn and the raiders this far, should it change I better just get a new ravager right?

The reavers have one main objective, to contest objectives! Should I get the chance to use the heat lances on vehicles that have gotten too close to me I take my chances, but only if I can ensure that the reavers themselves will survive, or if their sacrefice shall ensure the victory of the masters of pain!

The Razorwings are loaded with anti-infantry weapons, but that's because no other players than me and another Dark Eldar player use fliers this far, I don't see why they wouldn't to be honest, as they are awesome! They do use flying monstrous creatures, but the dissies and splinter cannons can harm them so I'm good with this built. Until the local meta get some fliers themselves I'll stick to my dissies, but they're changeable so I can still keep up when it happens.

Finally we have the Archon.

I don't want to get up close and personal, so I made him shooty.

Why an Archon and not a Haemonculus? He could bestow FnP on one unit of trueborn, and I did try a variant of this list like that, but the blaster Archon proved to be a better choice.

First he does have a blaster, hitting on 2+ is nice.
Secondly he has a shadowfield, so once the venom goes down he will stand in the front of the unit, attempting to soak up as many hits as he can before he and the unit goes down, expensive in a way yes, but it's the way I roll~

As for Warlord traits I tend to lean towards the Strategic one since it's mostly army-wide. If I get lucky I get either the one that give my army stealth ruins or the night fight chosing one. I love hiding behind buildings to get a good cover. wink

I still also have 15 points left to spend on the list, but can't find any way to fit them in (yet), but we'll see what will happen in the future, this far I've stuck with combat drugs for the lulz at times and retrofire jet on the ravager for deepstrike shenanigans.

It's aiming towards 1999.

Passangers can shoot at different targets than the vehicle itself, which does help a lot on that part.

Is your mother proud of you?

I kid, but that list is horrible! I'd go WTF and refuse a game. emotion_donotwant
