My mishmash new Dark Eldar

[Hive Bahamut]

So as I have mentioned, I came across a Dark Eldar army in a haphazard way, but unfortunately the army is about as coherent as a drunk monkey teaching Mandarin. I need some help with plugging the holes, as I don't want to buy coven I will just be sticking with vanilla for now.

Archon
Succubus
Haemonculus

20x Warrior

10x Wyches

5x Wracks

10x Scourges

1 Venom

1 Raider

1 Ravager

My presumption is just add 4 or 5 Venom and call it a day. I have literally 0 experience with them, but know they need transports. Is there something else?

Dark Eldar are not a good army at the moment..take it from a DE player.
Yes you could add more venoms..you have enough warriors to fill them.
Forget the wyches..as much as I love them they aren't good right now and a waste of points.
The Scourges can do some work depending on how they're armed..stick to cover and deepstrike if you can.
Maybe get a Razorwing or 2..I've run them with pretty good success.
Add some Eldar to plug the holes..that's usually what most people do.

Good Luck!

I have Craftworld, which is why I ended up taking the True Kin. I don't really care if they are bad, just was glaringly obvious this current setup was a hodge podge at best.

So with the models I have I've been messing around a bit and basically came up with:

HQ of choice in Venom, with or without a couple bodyguard

2 Raiders with 10 warriors

2 5 man Scourge with either 4x Blaster or 4x Haywire

The Wracks, and Wyches can join the Aberrants on the bench warmer squad. Not expecting anything amazing but wanted to make a more relevant list. Thanks.

Reavers all day long. They are incredible, especially in the current meta. Consider that you need a minimum of 12 so it's a fairly hefty investment, though the new boxed game might make it more affordable.

I ve played against my friend DE and he put 1 full squad of grotesque in a raider and another one with urian in a raider and its pretty solid If your raider arrive to destination. With à 4+ FnP, they are very tough

And it will not die

Played a game against Blood Angels with my Craftworld/True Kin and wow. Tabled my opponent end of 4, he killed a whole Raider and a couple Wraith guard. Some notes:

Webway Portal with Dscythes is Hilarious. 44 (1 not able to hit,) SD flamers made short work of Dante, a Librarian, 8 Death Company and Celestine.

Venoms are actually very nice transports. Deep Strike, open topped and fast makes me want to rebook the Goliath again.

Dark Eldar are no good for holding but capturing objectives is easy.

Jinking not affecting passengers is a boon for sure.

Drugs are stupid and should either be army wide or gone. Wych Cults are bad.

Craftworlders love abusing allies to cherry pick DE stuff.
