Dark eldar?? What is this blasphemy

 

 

 Well, after getting my hands on the new dark eldar book, and battlescribe having updated itself, (although there are still some issues) I've decided to sit down and flesh out what I would like my dark eldar list to be. This also uses a loophole in the rules involving skimmers and deep striking IE rules state that if a skimmer can't be placed due to friendly or enemy models, move it back along the line until it can. 

I've always liked a more hands-on approach to my lists and I always loved combat. I always enjoyed the mandrakes in terms of their looks and wanted to incorporate them into a list.

  As you can see with this list, I have a lot of short ranged anti tank, but that's dark eldar for you. fast, hit hard and hope that you don't fuck up. the fire dragons steal the empty venom and either deep strike or come onto the field. the two troop units deep strike and unload on an unsuspecting troop or outside of their vehicle.  The archon and Autarch each go with a bodyguard of incubi.*figured splitting them up would not only add an extra venom, but also make it so that my massive murder unit couldn't be locked down by zombies*
  
  
  The eldar detachment has the fire dragons for anti tank, and the nightspinner as well. the troops are just 5 dire avengers in a serpent because well, one wave serpent is not cheesy. 
  
  
  Hopefully I can get a few opinions and tests out with this list before I start trying to buy up all the models.
