Goatboy here again with a new Dark Eldar list I saw a local player throwing down with. It isn’t the exact one he played as I feel there could be some changes that make it a better list. It is one of those paper, rock, scissors lists as the Leadership hampers it a lot and a player can just tank shock to victory. So just like the movie picture from above – here is a plodding list of doom!

Shadow Dawgs!!! – or Pizza Dawgs!!!

HQ: Haemonculus X 3, Liquifer X 3
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Blaster, Sybarite
Troops: Kabalite Warriors X 20, Dark Lance X 2, Blaster, Sybarite
Troops: Wracks X 10, Liquifer Guns X 2, Acothyst
FA: Beastmasters X 4, Clawed Fiend X 1, Khymarea X 15
FA: Beastmasters X 4, Clawed Fiend X 1, Khymarea X 15
FA: Beastmasters X 4, Clawed Fiend X 1, Khymarea X 15
Heavy: Talos Pain Engine, TWL Haywire Grenade Launcher
Heavy: Talos Pain Engine, TWL Haywire Grenade Launcher

Pts 1834 – I am sure the Haemonculus could have Venom Blades or something. But either way 1850.

So basically you are a huge horde of pet-fiend scariness coming towards you. The Haemonculus give the dog squads a pain token and then walk back with their pain guys as a center hold unit. If someone gets close you cover them in 5 Liquifier templates if need be. There is a low amount of lances so I would worry about tank shocking from a wall of Rhinos. Either way just hope for the best and charge, charge, and charge some more :). 4+ Inv and 4+ FNP is pretty annoying to deal with and these dogs, if they get another pain token – will be even more of a pain in the butt.

So test it out – see what you think. All the Wound Allocation tricks you can pull with Beastmasters is cool – but a sheer amount of 4+ inv save, Initiative 6, and 3 attack massed models is pretty scary to deal with.
