Dark Eldar Scourges are a heavy support choice with excellent mobility owing to their wings which act as jump packs.The most popular configuration for this unit is to equip them with 4 splinter cannon as a highly mobile, anti-troop, fire support unit.  Scourges have the option of being deployed on the battlefield normally or via deepstrike even if the mission does not normally allow for it.  This affords some flexibility in deploying and using Scourges to the greatest effect on the battlefield. Scourge squads can also be equipped with dark lances for an anti-tank role, however most players opt to field two 10-man warrior squads with dark lances instead.  The warrior squads cost about the same as a 5-man Scourge squad but have much greater numbers so they can better survive enemy fire.

My thoughts on Scourges


A close-up of three Scourges.  The center model is a Sybarite upgrade, while the two models that flank him carry splinter cannons, which are the weapon of choice for this unit
An 8-man unit of Scourges featuring a Sybarite and 4 splinter cannons.  This unit provides some serious firepower to deal with horde-style armies like Orks or Tyranids.
