Hi there!
Itīs been a while, since posting, but hereīs a thing a ran in to today.
I had couple of games with my friend (plays BA) with my Dark Eldar and i decided to use an old list (thereīs like dozens of my lists lying around our FLGCīs shelves), which carries only the Dark Artisan -formation. I normally play with Grotesquerie too and Scalpel Squadron sometimes...i got served twice, but the later was also a bit due to Maelstrom going his way and saves not in my :p...
It seems, that the punch is not enough with FOC -based list with only one formation. Grots did alright, but without the buffs from the formation, they are more vulnerable. If i played without ANY formations, Sternguard and such in pods, would eradicate all Talos/Cronos with nasty shots...
My point being :
It gets kinda boring, having to play with : Dark Artisan and Grotesquerie AT LEAST, if, you want to maximize your effectiveness. And if you want to bring bikes, they need a babysitter --> Farseer with Shard (not sure after saturday if this works anymore...:confused:) and some troops with him...
But lets keep this pure DE...IMHO, it seems, that iīm stuck with the basic build of two formations and bounce the necessary FOC around it, switching Scourges, Reavers, Razorwings and sometimes bringing Incubi, just for their 3+ ability to stay alive longer than Warriors fe. And Wyches are a NO-NO (thereīs money well spent) due to flamers and Hellions are just, well, useless now-a-dayz...
Have you had decent experiences JUST with FOC? Or are you too stuck in the wonderland of "Yougotstohaveformations"?
