I have a small Iron Man tournament coming up, 3 rounds. Everyone has to take a different armies though, and most of mine were taken and I'm using Dark Eldar.
I'm not too confident about using them in this kind of tournament, I use the boat strategy (stick warriors in raiders and rush 'em down the field to charge 1st turn) but this is hit or miss, and I'll either massacre or be massacred.
A few ideas I had were:
1: have my Archon an a Skyboard, tooled out with shadow field, etc, causing havoc around the board.
2: a Talols or Two
3:a unit or two of warriors with dark lances hekd back to deal with tanks
4: maybe a Haemonculi with grotesques in a raider.
What would you guys do?

once was enough (you double posted)
Im thinking of coming back to 40k probably when dark eldar get a new range since i dont see much to come back to in the meantime - though from what i understand of the new changes you now roll for mission and theres a 50/50 chance you will end up going after objectives, in which case your raiders idea will definately work.
I faced dark eldar with my old marines more than once and at the time at least, the talos was the scaryest thing on the board to me. 2 of them? definately

I tried the list in a few games today, one against a destroyer heavy necron list, and against a genestealer heavy tyranid list. It didn't go to well in either game. I went second in both games and found my transports in smoldering ruins before they got to do anything, same with the raider. My Talos was spectacular, along with the Archon and both Warrior units (as long as I got the raider unit in combat). The groutesks/hamonculus never saw any action, so they might sit the tournament out and make room for another combat unit.
The tournament will contain 5th edition rules, so things may go a little different for me. I'll try playing with those rules (and an altered list) next week
