Hello,

Iīm thinking about some allies for my Eldar. Mainly i am interested on Dark Eldar, Baron + Hellions for fast troops and maybe a Raider filled with Warriors. Some one suggested Beasts for CC, but are they worth it?

Beasts took a bit of a hit this edition without wound allocation shenanigans, but they can be kept fairly cheap and can put out a fair amount of wounds.

For Hellions to be good you need at least 10, more like 15-20 to be effective. PLus can you take named characters as allies? For some reason i think you can't.

And without the Baron Hellions are a bit pointless. Wracks are your most survivable of troops, with Hemonculi. Use a flier if you want one, but remember a Av10 flier won't last for more than 2 turns.

Hemonculi, 10 Wracks, a squad of 10 Warriors with Blaster and Cannon in a Raider (splinterracks optional, Nightshields necessary) and a Ravager would be a good compliment. And if you want more, a unit of Incubi in a Venom. They're some of the few AP2 at Initiative CC units in the game

Army Builder letīs you do this, and why shouldnīt it? Heīs an HQ and Hellions become troops. Yep, if this is not possible, no need for the Hellions then...
