Just wondering whether we are gonna have the same as when IG was rereleased where every other player was guard.. So who's getting DE?

I had promised myself a Dark Eldar army as it is the only Army Codex that I have not collected in WH40K.

But can't justify spending the money this year, last year I did pick up a job lot of old Harlequins to add to my already sizable collection of them. Stripped them but never got round to painting them.

I believe Harlequins are a Elite choice in the codex?
If so, I'm thinking of doing a Dark Harlequin force.
Solitaire model as Archon
3 Harlequin Squads in Elite
3 Wyche Squads (darkly painted Harlequins)
Harlequin JetBikes (got 6 of them) as Reavers
Plus 3 Raiders that I was originally re-shaping as Venom Carriers.
Or just use Webway Portal to deploy through.
Also a Harlequin Wraithlord, who may stand in as a Talos.
Plus I have some old Rogue Trader Eldar kicking around who could become a Kabalite Squad.

See how many points this comes to and next year start adding to it.

So my only issue is if Dark Eldar cannot take Harlequins - the plan would fall flat on its face.

Am tempted, but I think I have enough armies already.

Super elite eldar, meq chaos and variants of ig chaos renegades (inc stealer cult), which I started with the old dex.

Covered the army styles, I reckon.

When I get the time and cash together, I will be getting a Dark Eldar army. I have been tempted for a long time to get an army before they got re-released, but I had other priorities. I think I will be purchasing the Codex this weekend....

i seem to have started almost without even knowing it, and so have 3 of my regular gaming buddies.

its now a race to see who can paint them up in to a legal army first to get the right to play them.

i shall not be the first, or the second, and in all liklihood, the third either. in fact, were it not for the fact that i'll be default 4th, i'd be unlikely to make top ten!
