Whilkst I agree with some of orkimedes comments I have to disagree withothers primarily I have to say nightshield on raiders ana utter waste of time as they will be near the enemy and therefore won't gain the protection from shooting granted by the night shields.
ARe you going to be faicng an armoured company or something you have gone overboard on anti tank and underspent on assault and anti infantry shotoing, especially if you intend to use a webway portal.
An agoniser is a waste in an incubi squad as the targets that require an agoniser are too tough for the incubi to wound a punisher armed lord is bette rin an incubi squad. Haywire grenades are a waste on your HQ. More than about 5 incubi is a bad idea as they will kill anything they charge in one turn then get shot at, it is better to kill all but one or two of the enemy in your turn and be able to kill the rest in his. Blasters are a waste of points on incubi as you take away their punisher, which means they don't have power weapon attacks, which is pointless. Screaming jets are not good in a command squad as deepstriking means you can't assault and you don't have any worthwhile guns and will simply be shot to bits. Two warriors with splinter cannons would be good.Lord Ramon said:Dark Eldar: 2,000pts. General Purpose List
Hello folks, I'm a new Dark Eldar player. I'm very inexperienced at 40k, but have read quite a few posts to try and bone up. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.

The screaming jets and the haywire grenades are not worth it, for the same reasons as your HQ, only more so because wyches are far more fragile. The blasters I think are a good idea as you only lose one normal weapon attack to take each one and you gain a powerful shot on the charge.Lord Ramon said:ELITES

Swap the P. Blades for an agoniser, I wouldn't take the haywire grenades, but there not AS bad here.Lord Ramon said:Warrior Squad of 15 Warriors2 Blaster, 2 Splinter Cannon, Sybarite with Gruesome Talisman, Haywire Grenades & Poisoned Blades [165pts]
Never ever take a dark lance on a raider squad a they can't fire if they move, either make this a gun boat by taking a splinter cannon or an assault boat by taking a splinter cannon AND a sybarite with agoniser. Night shields are OK for gunboats, but you still really need to get close to the enemy so are not really advised.Lord Ramon said:Raider Squad of 5 Warriors, Blaster, Dark Lance, Raider with Dark Lance, Horrofex and Night Shield [130pts]

These are fine tank hunting units. Don't get them into combat, without a succubus they are not worth using in a fight. If you add the succubus from your extra points section to a squad give it a power weapon instead of an agoniser as an agoniser takes away the +1 strength granted by the bike.Lord Ramon said:FAST

Your sybarite can't have a dark lance. In addition dark lances are a bad idea on scourges as you cannot move if you want to fire. Furthermore scourges are not worth taking unit you have used all your heavy weapon allowance everywhere else asthey are nore expensive and less survivable than warriors. Generally a waste of points.Lord Ramon said:HEAVY
