My WHACKY attempt at a DE 2k list
OK, my first DE list, so if y'all wanna see the fun of people ripping it to shreds, read on.
HQs
The Baron - 105
Archon w/ Agonizer, Blast Pistol, Combat Drugs, Clone Field and Ghost Plate - 130
Troops
9 Kabalite Warriors (Archon goes here) w/ Shredder (86) in a Raider with Night Shields, Flicker Field and Splinter Racks (90) - 176
10 Kabalite Warriors w Shredder, Dark Lance, and the Sergent with Pistol and CC wpn (130) in a Raider that's the same as above (90) - 220
10 Hellions with the Sergent and a Stunclaw - 175
10 Hellions just the same - 175
Heavy Support
3x Ravagers with Shockprow, Flickerfield, and Nightshields - 3x130
Fast Attack
6x Reavers with 2 Blasters, 2 Grav Talons, An Arena Champ with an Agonizer - 242
6x Reavers Same as Above
Elite
5 Wracks with a Liquifier (60)in a Venom with Splinter Cannon, Night Shields and Chain Snares (80) - 140
Total 1995
Anyone with more experience than me have suggestions? Only thing I can think of is putting the shock prows on the raiders instead of the ravagers but I'm a newbie. Danke.

Re: My WHACKY attempt at a DE 2k list
Personally id drop the archon as his a cc monster and you don't want warriors in cc. Put a haemonculus in there instead gives them feel no pain. With the ravangers id drop the shockprows all together. With the reavers id either have the blasters or the grav talons. I take cluster caltrops on mine. And not sure what your plan for the wracks is but think there to small to do to much. The lack of plasma grenades don't help. You got the beginning of a Gd list. As i said before this is just what id do personally but others may say different.

Well, I'd like to win, but I'm not gonna enter tournaments with these guys.
As for the previous post, the Archon is there to have something be able to be CC oriented.
With the reavers I have the blasters there to add a little versatility and extra shots. As for Caltrops, I was originally thinking of taking one of each (Grav Talons and Cluster Caltrops) but if I'm flyin these guys around I want to make sure the enemy's pinned.
And the wracks are there to have a liquifier and be a small squad that can troubleshoot/clean up an almost finished off enemy squad.

Re: My WHACKY attempt at a DE 2k list
Okay so first of all,personally i dont think that night shields are worth their points just because imperium opponent even with - 6 ranger still outrange you.Archon really doesnt add anything ot this list.Make the hellions a big 15 man blob,those that run without the baron are useless.I think that reavers exist for their heat lance(AP 1 FTW!) so i run them only with that upgrade,drop the cc weapon from them please combat is not a place for them.I like my warriors in venoms but 10 man squads in raiders are fine, you just need to change their weaponry.Firstly,shreder sucks ;D(its only usage is a nice convertion for an extra blaster),dl is heavy and u always want to use ur speed advantage,sybarite will never fire with his pistol.So,better run them with a blaster and splinter cannon(in a competitive environment blast- venom combo is a must).Wracks as an elite slot are very,very,very bad!Now watch a lil trick how this list will become awesome.In archons place run a hammy(if u have points buy him a liquifier gun),wracks are now a troop choice(in a comp envi those would be a 3 man squad).The secret here is to run the baron with the wracks and the hammy with the 15 man hellion blob during the deployment.In ur first turn the baron leaves with the wracks pain token to join the hellions while the hammy goes with the wracks leaving his pain token to the other guys.So,your hellions now have feel no pain and furious charge too(just imagine u roll a 3 too for drugs and u have a str 6 when u charge ;D).This squad is just a beast.Baron's stealth is also very important to keep them alive(remember he gives a reroll to dif terrain tests so dont worry moving ur hellions into or out of dif terrain.Well, i think i said enough,any left over pts would go for some beasts,wyches bla bla bla.

Re: My WHACKY attempt at a DE 2k list
I personally find the whole "I'll take the pain token and deliver it to this other squad" kinda cheap and I don't want to do that.
As for the archon. I want SOMETHING to discourage assaults. I've had Lilieth and her B***h Brigade just walk through so many of my troop squads in my early Necron games. Minute I put a Lord with a scythe and MSS in there, they had to redirect something to handle that guy which meant a harder unit was after them. Another idear I had was flying the transport up as far as possible, dropping Mr. Close Combat off and dropping the venom from my list to free up some points and plop a webway portal out so my Hellions and Reavers can fly out and start slaughtering from an advanced position. (Cause I may be wrong but I don't think you can drop the portal while in a transport)
Shredder, I want something with an actual Str score.
As for the Blaster vs Heat Lance, there's a LOT of foot slogging armies around where I am and they run a lot of termies. Melta wouldn't do a lot that the 12 DLs couldn't handle. And they'd be able to instakill T4 and less heroes (YOU HEAR THAT ELDRAD?!?!)
However, you did bring up the combat drugs. Perhaps another idea would be to run the Duke (And yes, I would make John Wayne voice attempts when I do anything with him) just to get the re-roll on the combat drugs.
