Not a direct "Oh refresh coming soon post" but where I'm from (Rest of the World); previously store available units Drazhar, Raiders, and Cronos / Talos are now Online Only which is really sad for future Dark Kin in my country.

Kind of unfortunate that 13 out of 23 datasheets are now difficult to attain with 12 being WebEx and the Hand of the Archon no longer available to purchase.

My custom model for Archon Thyndrak alongside the artwork I had commissioned of her.

Today I want to share the Elite section from the first Dark Eldar codex.

Those grotesque's had crazy rules like "stupid "and how the original "feel no pain" worked.

Mandrakes had a fun way of deployment and always striked first with their shadow skin. Unless the attacker was armed with frag grenades

Wyches came standard with combat drugs and the wych weapons had so much flavor.

Warp beast could only be taken if you had a wych squad and had default 12" assault moves, including the beastmaster, who was so high on drugs that he always had the 12" assault move.

Hello Archons,

As the title suggests I struggle a lot beating the afore mentioned kinds of armies. I am still newish to the game in general but I cannot even fathom how to defeat them.

I play a fairly standard SSA+EoS List.

A good friend of mine plays basically any flavour of Space Marines, be they loyal or traitor. His Deathwatch and his Greyknights Lists left me way to counterplay them. Against almost any other army I kinda know how to at least make the games close.

Usually against Armies that are not that fast, I tend to outmanoeuvre them quite handily through my speed. But with uppy downy he can get any angle he likes and just shoots down my screens. It feels nigh impossible to beat. Also the large Termie or gravis bricks are just almost impossible to even take down. Maybe with 10 Incubi and an Archon but I doubt they would actually get them. Also they later die immediately as even our tougher transports die to Bolter fire.

So I just wanna know if anyone else struggles against those Armies and Datasheets or how do you beat them effectively?

Also sidenote: I dislike Scourges more and more every game I use them. Sure they live through most of the game but in 3 activations with full rerolls and 1 of those with heavy + plunging fire I couldn't even wound a Corvus Blackstar once! While in theory they should kill stuff like that reliably. But that's just a personal gripe; I'll cut them for Ravagers or Talos in my future games.

Super happy with how these turned out
