The premise of the list is quite simple, as it entirely forego Flyers to gain a superior advantage on the ground with its firepower. However, I felt that this list lacks something (other than soul of course, since this is a tournament list and we all know that tournament lists got no soul. :P). Criticisms and comments are welcomed.

  1. Page 86 of the Dark Eldar codex states that Kabalite warriors are 5-20 strong, each of your squads needs an extra guy. Also you have 2 of Troop squad 2 making you have 7 troop choices. Otherwise, good luck :D

    1. Whoops duplicated a squad wrongly. >.<

      The guy with the blaster is the 5th guy by the way. 4+1 with blaster.

  2. Oowww, nasty :) Should do well.

    Only concern is where the Baron and Farseer goes, but I'm sure the opponent will have more than enough to worry about to be able to pick off characters in small units.

    As you have 8 troop choices, maybe you could swap 2 warrior squads for 2 trueborn squads, (3 with 2 splinter cannons is 4 pts cheaper than the warrior squads) to add to the firepower.

    A weakness is against av13 spam, but the firepower should shread most armies.

    1. Fair enough with the Trueborns. Never used cannonborns before.

      Should I take out the scatter lasers in the War Walker squadron for more lances and keep the Wasp with the scatter? I feel insecure with only three ravagers as my only ranged antitank.
