Introduction
<> Suggested army lists for new players
A Thousand Points
of Light: Dark Eldar by
Patrick Eibel
Dark Eldar
are the masters of dirty tricks and lightning-quick attack. This list tries
to capture the spirit of a very speedy army. The figures were chosen assuming
that the player was starting from scratch. Obviously, you could substitute
figures from the game box where appropriate.
Above: Dark
Eldar from the Kabal
of the Ozone Scorpions
Remember, this
list--like all the others in this series--is meant for brand new players
or for players looking to start a new army. This list is not meant to be
a "killer" list for winning tournaments or trouncing people at the local
gaming shop. Rather, it is a foundation that players can build upon as
they desire.

1000 point list
Build your
Archon using the Reaver figure that comes with the bike and use spikes
from the Warrior sprues (and whatever else your twisted imagination come
up with) to make your Archon distinct. If you want to get more creative,
you can always get an Archon figure and cut her off at the waist and put
her on the jetbike, but that is outside the scope of this article. Note
that the two Haemonculi only count as one HQ choice.
