If you read this blog you know I have few armies. Usually I will rotate between Orks, Necrons, and Nids with a smattering of IG for some tanky goodness. Some might not know that I have small force of Dark Eldar.
Back when the codex came out I instantly fell in love with 2 things: Incubi and the Jets. I loved them not because of their rules but because of the art in the book. the incubi were the first models I bought along with a Raider for them (since there were no venoms at the time) I also made a razorwing fighter and voidraven bomber to proxy for the real thing until GW brought out the model for one.
so I built an army with Lilth and Drazhar with all girl witches and a squad of incubi. I had my jedi starfighter (razorwing) and F117 Nighthawk (voidraven) ready for flight. To flesh it out I got 2 more raiders and 2 squads of warriors to go in them.
I played this army for about a month taking a lot of flack for my proxies. I don't have the skill or patience to make something really nice so I just took the criticisms. I knew they were bad but I wanted to use those units and the only option I really saw was to buy some eldar planes from forgeworld (and if I could buy them from my store I would in a heartbeat) but that was too expensive to do if you start including shipping.
This first month was a rough one for me. I lost every game which is not everything but I was not having fun while losing. So I shelved my army. I even thought about selling them off. I am no master painter and only the incubi and witches were painted anyway so I know I was going to take a hit... So I held onto them.
So, after all that I get to my point. In the new campaign that the league is starting this week I will be playing Dark Eldar. I have made an army from what I own. A good friend gave me a venom and some scourges and I bought the Razorwing model. (Goodbye F117, hello awesome Razorwing model) I built the Venom and hope to build the Razorwing tommorrow to be ready for Thursday. I will probably build the scourges this weekend and whatever else I think I will need to improve my list.
So here is my list.

Razorwing - flickerfield, nightshield, splintercannon
Voidraven - flickerfield, nightshield, 4X implosion missiles
This brings me to 1849
This is where I need help. What should I get next? I will drop Drazhar and the implosion missiles giving me around 400 points to play with. I think I could use some haemonculi but I refuse to use wracks or grotesques. Plus I would like to stay away from beasts since the models are bad and expensive. If someone suggests some better models I would be willing to try them out. I am open to suggestions.
