Allies Matrix Table

[Ripca]

Ok so I just got my hand on the new rule book.. And I was looking at the allies matrix table and I saw Dark Eldar is battle brothers with Eldar? And everything else is desperate allies or apocalypse.. ok so I understand the hole desperate Allies thing with everyone, come on they raid everone
But other then useing the Eldar for some really special Troops/Models is there much reason to use allies with Dark Eldar?
And most Eldar & Dark Eldar runs the same way so it dosint change much dos it?

well it does change a bit, eldar can use psychic and dark eldar can't from what i under stand, and they do have different vehicles and such so there is something to be said about them teaming up tactics wise, not that i know much about each of the races, actually they are two of the races i know the least about lol. fluff wise i could see eldar working with each other before working with other races lol

So far the main reason for doing a D/Eldar teamup is to get the psychic defense from the Eldar.

For my D/Eldar I'm planning on taking Eldrad, 10 rangers, and 3 Warwalkers with Scatterlasers.
Reasons:
Eldrad...enough said
Rangers...decent shooting (perfect timing psychic power can really make this squad nasty) and can hold a back objective
Warwalkers....8 shots each at S6 at 36" is good fire support, especially with guide/prescience for the re-rolls to hit

From a Fluff standpoint they, Eldar is really the only other army that the Dark Eldar would willing work with, especially if they had a common enemy. Against Chaos, the Harliquins are the "glue" that hold the alliance together.

Yeah, Eldar and Dark Eldar have some serious synergy in the new edition, I don't think it's been sandwhiched together perfectly yet, but there is potential for a very potent army (think of all the lance/poison the the DE side, that could benefit from the psychic powers and mid strength shooting on the eldar side)
