I'm trying to work on scaling my games down to the 1500 level, which generally feels a little more balanced, since it actually forces players to make the hard decisions in terms of list building instead of just being able to use at least one of just about everything.
So here's my initial 1500 point list, using just Dark Eldar and no allies. This list is totally not for the Dice Dojo tournament this weekend, so don't even think that for a second. At all. Unrelated, I'm busy this Saturday from 9:30 - 4:30.
HQ:
Baron (I can't think of a better send off for my sweet, sweet special guy)
Elite:
4 blasterborn, venom, 2x SC (duh)
4 blasterborn, venom, 2x SC
Troop:
9 hellions
5 warriors, blaster, venom, 2x SC (duh)
5 warriors, blaster, venom, 2x SC
7 wyches, haywire, raider, flickerfield
7 wyches, haywire, raider, flickerfield
Heavy:
Ravager, flickerfield
Ravager, flickerfield
Ravager, flickerfield
Not sure what kind of armies I'm going to be facing, but I have more than enough poison to tackle Monstrous Creatures, more than enough lances to deal with most mech lists, and then haywire wyches to tackle any Knights or other super heavies I might run into.
I don't have any presence in the psychic phase, so facing anything psyker heavy might be not so fun, but with 7th generally meaning psychic powers are harder to cast, and with the fact that I can deny blessings anyways even without a psyker, I'm not too worried about it.
My other option was to revert to the Allied matrix, and throw in a jetseer, a wraithknight, and a unit of eldar jetbikes in exchange for the hellions and wyches.
Thoughts?
