Bye-Bye Baron

Well, Baron Sathonyx is out. The main reasoning behind this is that he and his unit are just too dang expensive to build (for now). I already have a second Haemonculus and another squad of Wyches. My Trueborn are well and truly in progress now, all I need to finish this army are a pair of Venoms and a Blaster / Shredder / Dark Lance with which to arm my ninth Trueborn.

I've been going through a lot of variations on this same list, and it's been evolving constantly by listening to and reading the advice listed on the internet. This list returns to my older army list ideas, with another Wych squad in place of the Beastmasters. I decided that losing that sixth Troops choice just wasn't worth it, as if I really need to go after objectives 38 infantry is a lot better than 29 pairs of scoring boots on the ground. This army is also farther from the list I ranted about a few days ago.

Of course, as with any real Dark Eldar list, the true objective is to table my opponent, but starting out I'll just go with good ol' fashioned scoring.

That reminds me- I need to put together some objective markers for this army. I wonder if I have enough slave girl minis to use?

More Troops, less netlisting. It also looks more flexible. Me likey.
