Hello, first Dark Eldar list, and I want to make it well rounded while at the same time make it competetive.

--Venom (Splinter Cannon)

HQ- Haemonculus (Huskblade/Liquifier Gun/Soul Trap)
--[9] Hekatrix Bloodbrides (Hydra Gauntlets x2/ Haywire Grenades)
--Raider(Nightshields)

Troop 1- [10] Kabalite Warriors (Splinter Cannon)
--Raider (Splinter Racks/Night Shields)

Troop 2- [10] Kabalite Warriors (Splinter Cannon)
--Raider (Splinter Racks/Night Shields)

Troop 3- [10] Wyches (Hydra Gauntlet x2)
--Raider (Night Shields)

Troop 4- [10] Wyches (Hydra Gauntlet x2)
--Raider (Night Shields)

Troop 5- [10] Wyches (Shardnet and Impaler x2)
--Raider (Night Shields)

Heavy Support 1-Razorwing Jetfighter (Splinter Cannon)
Heavy Support 2-Razorwing Jetfighter (Splinter Cannon)

Total Points: 1983/2000

So as I see it, that is 11 Dark Lances and 8 Splinter Cannons. The last group of Wyches is for tar pitting a unit for a turn if possible. Though I am thinking about adding another set of Hydra Gauntlets to them instead. I would love for Scourges to be in here, simply because I love those units. Alas, I will have to find a different list to work them into I fear. Anyways, this is my first Dark Eldar List and I hope it isn't too bad. I should also mention, this is my first list of 6th Edition as well.

Personally I'd ditch the Wyches. Waste of points. If you insist make them Haywire in a Venom simply because it's so cheap. Replace them with Warriors. If you really want melee units look at Incubi, Harlies, Grots, if your desperate Wracks.

Drop the Bloodbrides, incredibly expensive and dont average out much better compared to Wyches. Replace them with 3 Grotesques and Abberition both with LG. Flat out first turn, they will survive the vehicle explosion, the 3 Lgs is nasty and it forces your opennent to deal with that unit.

I'm guessing that's meant to be 4 Trueborn with Duke not 5? Regarding this unit either go 4 blasters or 2 Splinter Cannons and 2 rifles or 2 Carbine don't go halfway. Can't remember if dukes rules applies to SCs, if not then put him in a Raider with some Warriors.

Both Razorwings need Nightshields or Flicker fields or both this is not optional, same to your Raiders and Venoms. They all need to have either or both.

I'd also consider dropping some of the SCs in favour of DL because DE really don't need more basic AI.

Agreed, but the single best assault unit is Beastmasters. Still, Kabalites > Wyches, definitely.

I don't honestly think Grotesques are worth it. Just take more Trueborn in Venoms.

Yep. Trueborn should be kept 3/4 to a squad with Blasters, or 3 with 2 Splinter Cannons and Duke. Super-fragile either way, I'd put Duke in a 20-man unit of Warriors with dual Cannons.

Both Razorwings need Nightshields or Flicker fields or both this is not optional, same to your Raiders and Venoms. They all need to have either or both.

See, here I disagree completely. You need Flickerfields on the Razorwings, but Raiders and Venoms shouldn't take either. It's 10pts to make you die like a bitch, instead of start the game dead. DE vehicles are dead by turn three; nobody cares if you have Night Shields or Flickerfields, you're AV10 Open Topped. Besides, since all of your transports have their defense mechanism built in, so there's no point paying 1/6 of your cost to try and compensate your defense in a way that your codex wasn't designed to do. You could buy 10pts of guns (a Splinter Cannon!), which is how Dark Eldar are designed.

Yes. Dark Lances everywhere you can.
