Reddit reviews Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 Dark Eldar Wyches Miniatures

Welcome to killteam!

With the Start Collecting box, you can field the Kabalites but not the Archon (yet! Probably soon, when the Commander expansion comes out).

With the Kabalites, you’re going to want to make a decision: are you going to field a team from just that box, or are you going to buy a box of wyches ( https://www.amazon.com/Games-Workshop-Warhammer-Wyches-Miniatures/dp/B004AG1HPM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1 ) to accompany them?

If you want to field JUST the Kabalites, you will want to assemble them as something like Sybarite (with agonizer and blast pistol and Phantasm Grenade Launcher), kabalite gunner with Dark Lance, kabalite gunner with Blaster, and 7 kabalite warriors. That’ll get you to 85 points, which is lower than the 100 point max, but the most you can get from one box.

If you want to field both kabalites and wyches, you’ll want to assemble the kabalites to give you more options. Sybarite with agonizer and blast pistol, a regular kabalite warrior who can pass for a Sybarite with a splinter rifle, 4 kabalite gunners with one of these weapons each (dark lance, splinter cannon, blaster, shredder), and 4 regular kabalite warriors. You’d only be able to field a team of 71 points with those models (treating the second sybarite as a generic warrior), but adding in a box of wyches and you’ll be good to go in no time!

Kabalite warriors are solid in kill team but their special weapons - dark lance, blaster, and splinter cannon in particular - are scary good. You’ll want to use regular warriors to secure objectives while your special weapons gunners do work murderizing your opponents.

Wyches are wet tissue paper in ranged combat and insane serial killers who are surprisingly tanky in melee combat. They’re fast, they kill things fast, they die fast. Great fun to play.
