I hope this is the right place to raise this question/idea?

In line with the latest 28mm 40K Dark Eldar rulebook, I was wondering what the community view was on representing the small Dark Eldar Vampire infantry carrying craft? I can't seem to find it represented in the DE EA list?

I see it as an Eldar Vyper stat line but with the ability to carry one stand of infantry.
In terms of army organisation I would suggest that it is a transport upgrade option for warriors and wych units.
Representing it on the table - just use an old GW metal viper model but painted accordingly.

What do the elder army development/army balance crew think?

Dave

I'd like that! Have only played one game so far with my eldar. So I'm speaking from a purely "that'd be a fun model to add/convert" perspective.

cheers

Do you mean the Venom transport? The Vampire is a very large aircraft

Epic UK has Venom transports available as a replacement for Raiders: Speed 35cm, LV, Armour 4+, CC 6+, FF 5+, 1 transport slot and armed with a Splinter Cannon (30cm, AP5+). Replacing one Raider with two Venoms costs +25 points.

I'd like to see them make it into the E:A Dark Eldar list one day, as they definitely look the part - Venoms have been around as Harlequin transports for ages (first appearing in the Citadel Journal list?), and have been available to Dark Eldar for a few editions now.

Thanks - yes, I meant Venoms!

Cool, I'll go with these stat lines and costs for my DE army for now then, even if they aren't "official" EA yet?

Dave

I think venoms are cool, and they are very much in tune with the way DE operate. I'd like to see them included. Metal Eldar Viper models work perfectly for these.

I'd like to see Venoms in the list too.

I'd be happy to see them included too ;-)

So in the DE lists there's mention of Ravens and Razorwings.

Ravens are bigger reaver jetbikes as seen on Forgeworld
Razorwings are the new flyer kit from Games Workshop which also makes the
Void Raven

Has anyone stat'd up this model yet? I found this cool conversion which I was planning for razorwings but a change of armament would make it work for the void raven too.

Venoms would be a cool addition and add interesting options to the list.

On a side note, there seems to be a distinct lack of Dark Eldar love on this forum, is there any plan to revisit the list at some stage or is it considered completely final? I only ask because I plan on building a DE army as soon as Onslaught fleshes out the Stygian range a bit more.
