Goatboy’s Random List for the Week – Carnival of Gross

So today I have decided to write up a Dark Eldar list. Will it be good? Who the hell knows. Will it look cool on the table. Hell yes.

Instead of some random Dark Lance Spam list I have decided to take a Special Character and just run with him. Urien Rakarth is his name and pain is his game. I also want to jam in the Webway Portal aspect as this army is like that crazy In The Mouth of Madness move with all the gribblies coming after the writer. That scene was always a neat one and I just wanted to get a better shot of the monsters. Well the Dark Eldar book is the gift that keeps on making you want to hurl when you think of all the gross things they like to do.

So basically you are looking at the Portals as ways to throw the Talos’s at people. Hide your Wrack Raiders with your portals, pop them out first turn and hope for the best. You should have enough Heat Lances to take out Mech. You have a ton of stuff that can hurt people in assault. Urien and the Ancient Helper of Gross will join the Grotesques and get thrown out of a Portal too. They should be Fearless at that time and ready to gives someone the business end of whatever nonsense was attached at their business end. Hooha!

I hope you like it and let me know what you think.  Lookout soon as I hear that Darkwynn has building a mean mathhammer excel spreadsheet to decipher the Dark Eldar codex.  Interesting things he’s uncovered…
