Gday gents,
Sorry ive been offline the last few days and havent been able to respond to this. I am very much in two minds about the GBAD for DE, but i think the best course of action is to test the current draft list as is, without GBAD and see how the dark eldar plays with the current adjustment (i have a sneaking suspicion that it will play very similar to the epic uk list
). This draft very much aligns with Steve54 and Kyussinchains posts.
I have experimented with the executioner landing module. It is now an upgunned lander for 500 points, rather than a fearsome flying fortress support craft. But hopefully this makes it more usuable in standard tournament games and i think will nest really well with the de playstyle. It is more fragile, in keeping with dark eldar options. I am not 100% happy with it, so welcome advice on what I have done.
The point made about DE being able to have stuff off board is really relevant. As only the crons and grey knights have more teleporting appearing tricks than the DE at this stage. Especially with the addition of the mobile webway portal. So given that i think a lack of GBAD is balanced.
The draft has been reviewed by a number of learned colleagues, i thank them for that, and will be posted online shortly.
I am really pleased with the discussionso far on the de.
@kryt, i get what you are saying, but you may still consider what i have done a raiding list as the epic uk could still be described as a raider list. The description of the list as an army list was made for my own development benefit to justify the inclusion of the tormentor. But in the end the list will be a matter of interpretation and not necessarily an army style list. Just because i said thats what i had in my mind when considering changes. But as with all lists some will be dissapointed and others will be stoked, but i doubt anyone will be happy.
I hope to make de an interesting and challenging choice for any prospective player. And do the new and upcoming models justice.
Cheers
Jim
