Working on my 2,000 pt Dark Eldar list and I've come up short. I need help filling in the points please.

HQ:
Baron Sathonyx (105)
Succubus (65) - Agoniser (20), Blast pistol (15) - 100 pts

TROOPS:
11 X Hellions (176) - Helliarch (10), Stunclaw (5) - 191 pts [ Accompanied by Baron ]
12 X Hellions (192) - Helliarch (10), Agoniser (15) - 217 pts
12 X Hellions (192) - Helliarch (10), Agoniser (15) - 217 pts
12 X Hellions (192) - Helliarch (10), Agoniser (15) - 217 pts

ELITE:
9 X Bloodbrides (117) - 3 X Hydra gauntlets (30), Syren (10), PGL (10), Agoniser(20), Haywire Gs (18) - 205 pts

6 X Reavers (132) - 2 X Heat Lance (24) - 156 pts

HEAVY SUPPORT:

1639 Points So Far

Okay, so there is sort of a "Fast Attack" theme to my army. So, I am trying to keep with that.
I love the Cronos and Talos, but I'm afraid they would be left behind.
Having 3 Ravagers seems like the right thing, but that is what everyone uses, and I'm trying to be "different".
Maybe I don't even need Heavy Support items, and I just add more of something else?

This is obviously where I would really love some help.

Thanks guys!

Definitely need more anti-tank.

Maybe throw in some Scourges if you have some points left over after getting some Ravagers, Voidravens and/or Razorwings.

Thirded. Needs more AT

In a 2000 point list you've got 1 long range AT shot - 1 dark lance. The blast pistol and the 4 heat lances are short range, and the haywire grenades obviously even shorter.

If that raider explodes (which lets face it, it will) you are going to get murdered.

Ravagers may be common place, but theres a reason for that.

I like the Dark Eldar codex and the character that can let you take Hellions as troops, the models are awesome. I just do not know how viable they would be and how many you might loose to a shooty army in the first turn of shooting. Worth a shot though. Ravagers in your heavy slot or maybe a Void Bomber (if thats what it is called)

I'd consider a major change in the list that would help make the rest of it more viable:

Use WWP toting haemonculi, perhaps in wych squads (or wracks) to replace 2 of the Hellion gangs.

This way baron, both hellion gangs, and reavers can all come flying out of the two WWP as opposed to getting shot off the table before they can close with the enemy. Maybe try to throw in ravagers and/or razorwings/voidravens to support with some long-range AT. Not sure how all the points would come out and if/what you'd have to drop/move, but it'd help the Hellions and Reavers get where they need to be.

Could also perhaps just throw one WWP Haemonculus in with the Bloodbrides as a single WWP to let the non-baron Hellions and Reavers fly out of. Let the Baron's unit rely on Stealth to get them where they're going.

With the amount of units with combat drugs Duke Sliscus would be a good investment.
