Dark Eldar armament advice
« on: December 28, 2010, 03:59:04 AM »
just putting together a DE fleet from jetbikes and hellions, but i cant find any solid advice anywhere on the strengths/advantages of all the possible options.

so far, all ive managed to glean is that players tend to spam torpedoes/impalers on escorts and  attack craft on cruisers.

are there any experienced DE players that have experimented with all the options? would it be better to have a bit of everything, or spam one particular upgrade?

Well you only had to wait 2 years 1 month for a reply.

I'd like to add gunboat cruisers and escorts are good. 5 gunboat escorts will give you 20 firepower 'always closing' rush up to within 15cm and you will have 14 dice to throw.

Always take out the opponents escorts first with your Impaler and slavebringer assault boats. +1 to hit and run attacks (slavebringer only). Always take captives when attacking escorts, as you get +10 VP's and its a crit will destroy the Escort anyway.
