Not bad at all, however I think that you need to buy more upgrades for most of your units, or at least the ones who got access to the armoury. lets have a look:

[/q]

First off, I dont like retinues, and especially not incubi. They slow down your archon, as they cant FoF, and because he cant leave them to do the long drug charge. I usually just stick my lord in a raider squad. However, incubi can be devastating, and if you choose to keep them, add two more warroirs to exploit the majority rule.. as long as the 3+ save of the incubi is the most nuberous, the meat shield warriors get it too. And do get two splinter cannons, they rock.

Good good, but add a horrorfex to the raiders, just in case, and get the succubi some decent weapons. Mine has agonisers + pistols, and I can reccomend that.

Darl lance squads are good, no doubt, but three is enough. I reccomend that you upgrade one to a raider squad, complete with assault weapons and a souped up sybarite. Otherwise fine.

FAST ATTACK:

7* hellios
1 sucubuss (tormentor helmet, punisher)

Well.. these gitz might look cool, but they dont do very well at all. I would suggest dropping them and spend the points elsewhere.

[q]
2*4 reaver jetbike
200
[/q]

These needs upgrades. I suggest that you take only one squad of six, and add 2x blasters for tank hunting, and a succubi with a power weapon + t-helm. They will rock.

I hope it helped.

How is this list then?
reason for the incubi is because there are alot of sm and necrons armies
beeing played here, so i guessed they would help alot.
hellions are for naging and using the hit and run tactics that there was a link to in the faq.

Well, the hellions are not horrible, its just that bikes does their job so much better. If you like the tactic, I suggest that you invest in a second bike squad like the beautiful one you have already planned.

By the way, you do realize that blasters are not pistols, right? They are more like assault carbines, and they cannot be brought from the armoury either, so your succubi cant have them. Give the succubi ordinary splinter pistols instead. But adding a pair of blasters to each wyche squad is not a bad idea at all, blasters can really soften up hard targets before a charge, or make good auxillary anti-tank guns.

I also notice that your army is very troop light. You will find that DE has some of the most worthwile troops in the entire game, so turning those hellions into a raider squad might not be such a bad idea.

And last.. if you use warp beasts, at least max out their size, they are not tough enough to be so few. And as a little modelling tip, I will reccomend you you use WHFB dark elf cold ones instead of the 40k warp beast models. Also consider to use converted dark elf witches instead of dark eldar wyches.

I hope it helped.

edited the blaster to the squad where it was supose to be.
How about changing the hellions squad for a squad of 10 warriors with 1 blaster and raider and 1 more warp beast. It would end up with 1502 points then
