Default Re: Fighting Dark eldar

If you're fighting a GOOD DE player then...expect to be hurt....bad.


If you're fighting an ok or beginner DE player then you'll have no problem tearing him up.

No use in taking anything heavier the plasma against DE, i.e. no meltas, lascannons or anything. If you take tanks...don't expect them to live against Dark Lances. I'd go for Predator destructors with autocannons and HB's.


Theres one of two ways he will probably play

1) Lots of Raiders and bikes. FAST FAST FAST army that'll run circles around you but will also have less men to shot you dead with.

2) Webway portal. Just as mobile since he can basically deep strike his whole army if he puts a webway gate some where. Expect 2-3 raiders with webway portals and tons of warriors and wynchs in reserve to come through the portal. Set up good fields of fire where ever he drops a portal.


WYNCHS = close combat massacre. Run far away and shoot them.

No vindicators.

Whirlwind could be useful.
