War walkersx3
Scatter lasers


what  do i get  with  allies  that  i wouldnt  with  a singular  dark eldar  list:

1 most  important  pyschic defence  even  LD10  can be regularly failed on  3d6  average  roughly  1 in 5  will be  passed  thats awesome!!!

2 my  old list  had  79  ap5 poison shots  and 22  ap2  shots  this  new list  has 67 ap5 poison shots  and 14 ap2 a slight drop BUT i get  32 str6 shots and 8 ap1 shots the  str6 shots  will mean  i can put more wounds  on successfully and tackle  light  tanks  av10-12 and leave the  ravagers trueborn and fire dragons to attack av13+

3 more scoring units  the  pathfinders will sit on my  home objective then i have3 scoring units that can turbo boost  foreward on turn  4/5  to capture  objectives

4 synergy!!  synergy  goes thru the roof   tactics   for objectives  place  them  around the  centre make sure their  within  the  24"  no mans land  as this will be important  during the game

turn 1 eldrad can guide both ravagers  2 improve their  chances of takign out tanks  and fortune his unit or the war walkers to keep them safe
turn 2 as the enemy comes closer its  jus a case of deciding  wat needs killing first  (REMEMBER ELDRAD CAN CAST THE SAME POWER TWICE + 1 DIFFERENT POWER)
turn 3 counter assualt with vect and his wyches  use doom  if needed  doom can  also be used to improve  the amount of wounds casued by the splinter canons or help  the anti tank units drop av13vehicles!!

as you can see  its  allabout eldrad  keeping vehicles alive with  fortune  boosting  shots   with  gude  or increasing wounds with doom!!!   

ill be testing a version of this list with out the fire dragons on friday!!
