since quite a few readers are from the USA and i kno from reading bell of lost souls theirs a big tournament scene out there!!! and my fave tournament army is dark eldar this year im hoping for a 60% win ratio at each event or 50% at worse.
firstly why do i like dark eldar ? well the models are awesome but more importantly the encapsulate the holy trinity of list building speed plenty of anti tank speed bump unit
how do you make dark eldar win? well it all depends on the opponents army which sounds pretty obvious and the layout of the table may also be pretty obvious to some people but knowing the opponents army you can 2nd guess where he will put his units for example tall buildings will be an ideal home for devastators and long fang or any other unit with long range fire power
hydras and manticores will allways be in the corner of the board so if ur not playing spear head deploy the blasters and beasts on that side
firstly the beasts can give cover saves to the blasters 2nd beasts are fast theyll be in combat turn 2 taking out the hydras also dark eldar have an amazing amount of synergy each unit has a job and they all work together to bring victory
allways where possible refuse flank this means go second assess the opponents army how hes deployed then deploy your entire force on that flank and annilate it he will have to pull his units from the other flank to help support and as he moves across counter with long range ravager fire to slow them down then move the beasts infront to speed bump the enemy so that you can keep firing
another important part of playing dark eldar is using the sceneray 2 minimise what the opponent can fire at or improve the save from 5+ to 4+
future tactics now i do use 1 beastmaster unit with the baron as a huge speed bump stik them in cover go 2 ground and 50 wounds with a 2+ cover save is hard to shift this gives my other units time 2 fire and thin down the army the problemishte baron makes the unit quite slow
so ill add 1 more beastmaster unit thats another unit with 50 wounds but unlike the barons unit this 1 will be alot quicker as it wont be slowed down move through cover fleet 12"charge they can go round the barons unit get a cover save then charge in
ill be testing dual beasts on thursday
