Way Of Saim Hann; Dark Eldar Style

In a recent article I mentioned in passing that a Dark Eldar Kabal can be composed, almost entirely of Reaver Jetbikes. Inspired by the thought I threw this list together:

HQ
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Destructor, Scissorhand)
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Destructor, Scissorhand)
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Destructor, Scissorhand)
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Stinger, Scissorhand)
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Stinger, Scissorhand)
Haemonculus (Reaver Jetbike, Stinger, Scissorhand)

Troops
5 Warriors (Dark Lance)
Raider
5 Warriors (Dark Lance)
Raider
5 Warriors (Dark Lance)
Raider
5 Warriors (Dark Lance)
Raider

Fast Attack
10 Reaver Jetbikes (2 x Blaster)(Sybarite, Agoniser)
10 Reaver Jetbikes (2 x Blaster)(Sybarite, Agoniser)
10 Reaver Jetbikes (2 x Blaster)(Sybarite, Agoniser)

Heavy Support
Ravager (3 x Dark Lance)
Ravager (3 x Dark Lance)

Total: 1998pts


That’s 36 Jetbikes in a 2000pt list! I’m not actually sure how effective this army would be and I can imagine having that many bikes on the table would be a logistical nightmare. Even so, part of me still thinks it would be a blast to use. Not so fun on the wallet though so only for the serious Dark Eldar nutbars!(...Now where did I put my credit card?...)

  1. Never mind how effective it would be, think of the fun using it, not to mention the confusion it would create.
    Where is the image for this entry from? Those are the best Reavers I have ever seen.

    So much mobile death...

  4. Just found this blog! I started DE back 'way back when' and ended up selling them to fund some space wolves. Can't wait for their new codex, I'll be one of the first in line to pick them back up!

    I've gone through a lot of your lists and found we have strikingly similar ideas. Although I never fielded a list like this, it would indeed be fun to try. Tournament quality? Probably not, but its still hilarious. You're rocking 11 lances and 6 blasters, which should be enough to open up whatever you need =)

  6. With the Current Official "FAQ and Errata" Charactors/Succubus riding Reavers no longer have to have "one Hand free" to opperate bike. So I usually give my Reaver Succubus Tormentor Helm and Punishers (+1 Str +1 Attack Power Weapon)

    And yes I have done conversions for them.

  7. I've been working on starting a new DE army for my collection, I used to play them but that was before the 2nd ed Dex came out, so its been a while.

    Anyway the first list I came up with was for a 1750 pts force...
