I started a Dark Eldar army in the last couple months. My force is still fairly small, but I already see it coming together in to a deadly force.
Here are the top 3 things I love about the Dark Eldar:
1) The plastic kits they put out for the relaunch of Dark Eldar are incredible. They are some of the best kits Games Workshop has put out to date. The Raider's even have a gangplank and the razorwing Fight is sleek, deadly, and low enough to the ground to get cover from some of my ruins!
2) Speed: Hellions, Scourges, Jetbikes, and Open Topped Transports! Dark Eldar have some serious speed on their side. If you flat out, your raiders will be in your oponents face before they have a chance to do anything!
3) Allies: I started these guys as allies for my Craftworld Eldar to fill a hole in my force (im lacking Fast Attack in my Craftworld Eldar stuff)
As a single Allied detachment now, I am looking at:
HQ: Baron Sarthonyx (Makes Hellions count as troops)
Elite: Incubi in Venom or Raider
Troop: Hellions (Jump Infantry)
Fast Attack: Scourges (for Anti Vehicle)
Heavy Support: Razorwing Fighter with Dark Lances
I think this will give me the mobility my Craft World Eldar were lacking (Other than Waveserpents which are really really expensive and a single falcon, the rest of my Eldar were on foot and I had no Warp Spiders or Swooping Hawks)
I cant wait to try this duo on the battlefield in a larger game.
