SAMPLE ARMY

Nick Davis' Dark Eldar Raiders (1500 points)

Retinue	Talos

Brief Army Overview
This is my expanded Dark Eldar army and features a few vicious nasties that I find very useful in larger games. First off, the Retinue has been upgraded; the Dracon is now promoted to Archon, and has the services of a Incubi Master (perhaps the nastiest one wound character in the game). I've lost count how many times this Master bodyguard has saved my Lord's life. The retinue also sees the inclusion of another Incubi to help tip the scales in an assault.

I've also added another Haemonculi to the mix; he normally accompanies a ground unit spreading death and mayhem as he goes. The Wyches also see an upgrade with the Succubus receiving her own Combat Drug dispenser - a very useful item to have (and can tip the combat in your favour) but use it wisely as she only has one wound.

Finally I kitted out my Heavy Support selection with a Ravager and a Talos. Both have distinct roles on the battlefield, the Ravager is a fantastic gunship armed with three Dark Lances it can make a mockery of anything it targets. In a game against Tyranids it was destroying a Tyranid Warriors squad a turn. The Talos has only one role, like the Eldar Wraithlord it is treated a living creature and uses toughness. This means unlike other dreadnought type vehicles it is able to absorb firepower. Your opponent will use an ungodly amount of guns to stop this spinning whirlwind of death with good reason too, because if it makes contact with the enemy line it is virtually unstoppable. So put it at the front of your army and let your opponent target it, the more guns pointed at it, the bigger chance you have of getting your Raiders units into close combat.
