DE getting closer....

Okay, so after further thought (unfortunately, not further games) this is where I am settling with my DE. The list is being guided by a number of factors, including models that I like (and models that I now have vs further expenditure).

2000pts (actually, 1993)

-Haemonculus w/Liquifier Gun; Venom Blade; Webway Portal.

-Warriors (x5)
Raider w/Dark Lance; Flickerfield
-Warriors (x5)

-Wyches (x9) w/Hekatrix(agonizer/PGL);Shardnet&Impaler
-Wyches (x9) w/Hekatrix(agonizer/PGL);Shardnet&Impaler (troops=740pts)

-Beastmasters w/4x BM; 5x Khymera; 4x Razorwing; 1x Clawed Fiend
-Beastmasters w/4x BM; 5x Khymera; 4x Razorwing; 1x Clawed Fiend (FA=416pts)

-Ravager w/3x Dark Lance; Flickerfield
-Ravager w/3x Dark Lance; Flickerfield
-Ravager w/3x Dark Lance; Flickerfield (HS=345pts)

As with the prior list, the Haemonculai get on board with the Trueborn and dart forward for a WW drop.

The Wych squads are 140pts each, which carries the same cost as a 10 man(?) Wrack squad with 2x Liquifier guns and an Acothyst (w/venom blade and stinger pistol) allowing for both units to be swapped out for the other to play different styles in testing. I think the Wracks may serve the army better, but I like the Wych models a great deal.

The Wyches OR Beastmaster units (or all) can begin the game in reserve, utilizing Webway portals to push enemies back/manipulate their deployment. Alternately, they can begin the game in play to manipulate 1st turn enemy shooting...or mix and match.

Webway reserved, the Wyches give you a scoring unit that can appear mid-field, or tarpit something mid-weight for oncoming beasts.

I like the warrior models, so I am not running min-sized Wrack units as my Raider-bait.
guided by unit/model fondness, I think I have hit a solid efficiency/vs/personal preference balance.
