Returning to my Dark Eldar

Hi,

With my Tau and Space Wolf army left round my mates I was tempted to take my Dark Eldar down my LGS for a try out. When I last played with my Dark Eldar army the normal sized game was 1500 pts, but now it has moved up to 1750 pts. After a few minutes on excel I updated the list. However it now looks like I won't be going into town now that it's been snowing heavily all afternoon and evening and it doesn't show any sign of stopping.

Well anyway here's my new list:


Archon - 137
Punisher, Tormentor Helm
Plasma Grenades
Shadow Field, Combat Drugs

8 Wyches (incl Succubus) - 189
Succubus: Agoniser
2 Blasters
Raider

8 Wyches (incl Succubus) - 194
Succubus: Agoniser
2 Blasters
Raider with Disintegrator

Beastmaster & 5 Warp Beasts - 75

5 Warriors - 115
Dark Lance & Blaster
Raider with Disintegrator

8 Warriors (incl Sybarite) - 165
Sybarite: Agoniser
Blaster & Splinter Cannon
Raider with Disintegrator

6 Warriors - 118
Blaster & Splinter Cannon
Raider

10 Warriors – 110
2 Dark Lances & 2 Blasters

10 Warriors - 100
2 Dark Lances

5 Warriors - 110
Dark Lance & Blaster
Raider

3 Reaver Jetbikes (2 Blasters) - 95

Ravager (3 Distintegrators) - 120

Ravager (3 Distintegrators) - 120

Talos – 100

Summary
1748 Points, 79 Models, and a horrendous 20 Kill Points
18 Heavy Weapons
30 Ap2 Weapons & 6 Ignoring saves close combat weapons

My old list was a straight shooty list, with the Wychs being a mini ravager that deepstriked. Now that wychs can't shoot the turn the raider deepstrikes, and the fact I saw that wychs in numbers can be ok in combat I used the extra pts to turn one small unit of wychs into 2 medium sized units each with agoniser succubus.

In my old list my HQ was just a dracon with some warriors carrying 2 more dark lances, but I though at 1750 pts a close combat archon was due.

Finally to support the wyches and archon I also upgraded one of the warrior squads to a combat one with 2 extra warriors and a agoniser carrying sybarite.

There's definitely things I don't like about the list (apart from the horrendous kill point total, which I don't think I can do much about). I wanted to try and fit in some horrorfexs after seeing them used to good effect. I also had to trim some of the raider squads to their minimum size which I don't like doing. Lastly I'm not sure how effective the bikes will be.

An alternative idea I had was to put the archon on a bike and make the bikes an assault unit with the addition of extra bikes and a succubus with punisher. Only having games with them will help me decide, along with any comments you make.

Other ideas I was contemplating was to try out the webway portal, but at the moment I don't have the models for 2 reasonable sized warrior squads with sybarites to carry them.

I'll definitely have to give the Dark Eldar a few games before I'll be happy with a final list.
