I have a game coming up this weekend with a buddy of mine. As we are both kind of getting back into the game we are going for a 1,000 points. He generally plays Eldar or Harlequins but I don't really tailor lists so that isn't really a factor.
At this point I am zeroing in on two lists using my two primary armies. The first is Dark Eldar.
Dark Eldar 1k
Archon [145] shadow field, agonizer, haywire grenades
Trueborn [150] x2 splinter cannon, venom with x2 splinter cannons
Kabalite Warriors (5) [120] venom x2 splinter cannon, blaster
Wyches (8) [210] x2 which weapons, raider, agonizer
Razorwing [145]
Reavers (3) [48]
Reavers (3) [48]
Ravager [125] Disintegrator Cannons
Total 991 points
With this list I am basically looking for a kind of ultra fast striking force that can quickly grab tactical objectives anywhere with the reavers on the table but still packs a little bit of a punch with the Archon riding along with the wyches. There are some pretty unconventional choices in this list but I think it could be fun. Personally I love the idea of having a venom that is pumping out four splinter cannons worth of shots!
Salamanders 1k
Librarian [90] ML2
Tac Squad (10) [195] Meltagun, Multimelta, Rhino
Tac Squad (10) [245] Flamer, Multimelta, Powerfist, Rhino
Land speeder [60] Heavy Flamer, Multimelta
Drop Pod [35]
Grav Centurions [250] omniscope
Vindicator [120]
This list is way smaller and the grave centurions are my new toy. Having never used them I have no idea how they will do but they should be able to handle most of the toughest stuff out there. I suppose they have a reputation for a reason. Librarian cruises in with the centurions and maybe I get lucky with invisibility which would basically end a 1,000 point game. I guess I am looking to hit hard and see what happens.
What do you think? Dark Eldar or Salamanders?
