Editing Warhammer 40,000/5th Edition Tactics/Dark Eldar (section)

==Tactics==
===Raider Rush===
Yes.

Oh, sorry, actual tactics. Take as many Warriors as you can, stuff them in as many Raiders as you can, have an Archon and some Incubi or Trueborn in a Venom (or two), and add Haemonculi to taste. Normally you don't need to worry about objectives (you're playing Dark Eldar, you're here to kill), but if you feel it's ''absolutely'' necessary, then take some Wracks in a Raider with a Haemonculi leader, and you'll have a decently hard-to-kill and hard-hitting unit to sit on an objective and distract the opponent from the rest of your army. 

Zoom around the table, shooting the tanks with dark lances and the troops with splinter weapons. Destroy everything. Bathe in pain tokens. Rinse. Repeat.

===Webway Portal===
This list virtually guarantees that somebody will be reduced to tears by the end of the match. You start out with two to three (never one, life will be sad) Haemunculi with small wrack bodyguards, stick them in Venoms, and send them out to deploy their portals as close to the enemy line as possible. Once the portals are up you are free to vivisect the opponent's line with a stream of Wyches, Talos, Chronos Engines, or any number of other units that shouldn't have any place in a Dark Eldar army. For added fun take Sliscus and have your WWP carrying Venoms deploy directly into position.

===Deldar Footslog===
Haemonculi, retarded amounts of Wracks, portals, Beastmasters for wound allocation shenanigans, Scourges. Its dead hard with all the FNP, immune to anti-tank with WWPs, and actually more effective than you'd think.

===Venoms: Fucking The Win===
Simple list design, a single Haemonculus for HQ requirements, then get 3 units of 4 Trueborn with Blasters mounted in Venoms with Double Splinter Cannons, 6 units of 5 Warriors with a Blaster mounted in Venoms with Double Splinter Cannons, 3 Ravagers with default Triple Dark Lance setup and Flickerfields. After that you should probably get any of the following: the Baron for the deployment advantage, Beastpacks for a "fuck you" Assault unit that can nearly keep pace with the boats, 10 Scourges with 4 Splinter Cannons because nothing says asshole like unit that will hose IG power blobs and MCs in a single turn, 10 Scourges with 4 Haywire Blasters to stunlock shit into next year, or Reavers if you're playing in a tournament where comp is taken seriously (applies only to Aussies and Kiwis because of whining players and TOs being too pussy ass to let half-good armies hit the table without being penalized to the point of being unable to possibly take a top 20 spot).

===Trolling choice===

This list includes anything that puts your opponent's smile upside down as he sees his tanks being blown up by a lone squad of reaver jet bikes. Take an archon with a full court, a kabalite squad with a dark lance, a wych squad with a venom as a transport vehicle, a squad of six reaver jet bikes with two heat lances, a squad of hellions with a stun claw for extra trolling because it pulls independent characters away from any squad it was with, and a squad of scourges. Because they're dark eldar and because it fucks with any and all armies that attempt to draw line of sight or even assault, abuse the living '''FUCK''' out of the rule known as Fleet. Turbo boost your jet bikes to get within range of assaulting or to run away after successfully blowing up a tank. Hellions should just keep fucking with squads of infantry and keep attack any lone HQ choices just to hear your enemy scream '''Motherfucker''' as you constantly drag his precious baby across the terrain. Scourges are there to take out any remaining tanks that the reavers missed the first time around. Kabalite squads should do the following: run, shoot, laugh, run, shoot, laugh. Wyches should follow the kabalite squad, assaulting anything that comes within 6' of them and with haywire grenades for only two points per model should make tanks run in fear. The song known as trololo is required when using this list. And remember the power from pain rule, because who doesn't want fearless and feel no pain rule on Wyches?

===Lance Spam===

Do it at your peril.
