FORCES OF THE DARK ELDARThis section introduces the forces used by the Dark Eldar, including each unit's profile, special rules, and unique weapons.

EQUIPMENTThe army list is where you can find all of the standard and optional wargear that can be chosen for each unit, as well as the rules for how these units can be added to your army.

DARK ELDAR SPECIAL RULESThere are a number of special rules common to many Dark Eldar units, as specified in the entries that follow. These common rules can be found below.

NIGHT HUNTERSA favored technique of the Dark Eldar is to strike under the cover of darkness. If the Dark Eldar player is able to choose to go first or second (or if the mission dictates that he is the attacker), then he may roll a D3 and play using the Night Fighting mission special rule during the corresponding turns listed below.

D31 – Dawn2 – Eclipse3 – Dusk

Turns1, 23, 45, 6, 7

SLAVE RAIDERSDark Eldar require the souls of their victims to stay alive, and will almost always take slaves during their raids to bring back to their lairs. Roll a D6 for every enemy casualty a Dark Eldar unit causes in close combat. Vehicles cannot be taken as slaves. On a roll of a 4+, that enemy model becomes a captured slave of the attacking unit. Captured slaves are removed from the game just like other casualties, but they give the Dark Eldar army the following benefits:

Each Dark Eldar unit gains +10 soul points for each wound their slaves have, including any wounds from added options such as Daemonic Steeds (to keep track of soul points, use the supplied markers). If a unit with soul points is destroyed, any Dark Eldar unit within 6” may steal their soul points, otherwise the soul points are lost. Soul points can be dispersed between units a multiple assault as the player wishes. Similarly, soul points can stay or go with either unit if a joined independent character leaves the squad.

Dark Eldar units can consume the souls of their slaves, or just use them as cannon fodder if they think it will help them during a raid. Consult the list below for the available slave raider abilities (they are not cumulative if used more than once).

TWISTED MINDSDark Eldar minds were suspect before the Fall, but afterwards their thoughts have been perverted in strange and unexpected ways. Anyone attempting to delve into the mind of a Dark Eldar risks his own sanity in the process. When targeting a Dark Eldar model with a psychic power, the psyker suffers Perils of the Warp on results of 3 and 11 during a psychic test, in addition to the normal rules for when Perils of the Warp occurs.

FLEET, HIT & RUN, INFILTRATORS, MOVE THROUGH COVER, SCOUT, SKILLED RIDER, STUBBORNMost Dark Eldar models are Fleet. In addition, Dark Eldar can gain a variety of other universal special rules through certain abilities and wargear. It will be listed in each unit’s entry where these rules are used. All of the universal special rules can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Forces of the Dark Eldar 2

Lords of the KabalThe lords are the most powerful and influential leaders of an entire kabal. They control vast armies of bloodthirsty warriors merely by their prowess in combat and their ability to sidestep constant assassination threats without and within their organizations. There is one way to become a lord of the kabal: kill all of those in your way. To do so in the cutthroat society of Commorragh, The Dark City, requires impeccable planning and execution, but the reward is a limitless supply of fresh souls to feast upon which ensures an extremely long life – if one can survive one’s enemies, that is.

When riding into battle, lords will take the most exotic weaponry at the kabal's disposal, and this allows them to wade through the ranks of their enemies, leaving only destruction in their wake. Any fighter who sees the frightening war mask of a Dark Eldar lord can only hope for a swift death.

One Thousand Raids: Archons are masters of coordinating their kabal’s strikes. An army that includes an Archon gains +1 when rolling for reserves.

Wych QueensA Cult of Wyches is headed by their most legendary gladiators. Veterans of thousands of arena duels, the Wych Lords are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. They are true masters of hand-to-hand combat, casually disregarding their opponents’ assaults while dissecting them for the crowd’s or their own enjoyment.

Wych Tactics Mastery: Wych Lords use special wych weaponry and techniques designed to hinder their opponents. Models attacking a Wych Queen in close combat lose 1 attack (to a minimum of 1), and require a 5+ roll to hit unless they would normally require a 6+ to hit. If a model has a rule that allows it to always hit on a set result or higher, it overrides wych tactics mastery. Models with an unmodified strength of 6 or higher roll to hit Wych Queens as normal.

Evasive: Wyches have great reflexes which allow them to lithely dodge their opponents’ strikes. They have a 4+ invulnerable save in close combat.


HaemonculiDark Eldar live to torture the inferior species of the galaxy, not only because they utterly enjoy it, but because the souls of their victim are much more potent when harvested in a highly emotional state. The greater the sorrow, fear, and disdain a slave is feeling, the better his soul will be at holding back the creeping tendrils of Slaanesh’s embrace.

Haemonculi are the most gifted in all of Commorragh at this practice. They usually form independent covens where they highly sought after by the various Warrior kabals and Wych cults, selling their services to the highest bidder. Occasionally, a Haemonculus will align himself with a particular Lord where there is a particular benefit to be gained.

Haemonculi usually take to the field with their twisted experiments, such as the unfeeling minions known as Grotesques and a menacing contraption known as the Talos.

WARGEAR Range Str AP TypeDestructor Template 4 D6 Assault 1Stinger 18” X — PistolParalyzer 12” X — Pistol

Destructor: A particularly brutal haemonculus weapon, the destructor sprays corrosive acid across mutliple enemies, melting them into a gelatinous soup in a matter of seconds. The acid solution is unpredictably potent. Roll a single D6 for each shot of acid. The result of the roll is the AP value for that shot.

Stinger: The Stinger fires a hypodermic needle filled with a virulent poison that causes the target to violently explode. Roll to hit as normal. The Stinger always wounds with normal saves allowed. If a model becomes a casualty to a Stinger, place a large blast marker centered over the wounded model’s base. Any models (friend or foe) under the blast are take a hit which has a S equal to the toughness of the exploding model, with an AP value equal to the model’s armor save (so an exploding T 4, Sv 3+ model would cause S 4, AP 3 hits).

Paralyzer: Similar to the Stinger in design, the Paralyzer’s needle incapacitates the target with a poison that selectively attacks the nervous system. It always wounds with normal saves allowed. If a model becomes a casualty to the Paralyzer, lay it on its side. If that model’s unit is charged in the following assault phase, the paralyzed model is captured as a slave by the unit that charged. If the unit is not charged in the following assault phase, remove the model as a casualty at the end of the turn.

Scissorhand: A poisoned weapon that wounds on a 2+ and gives it’s wielder +1 Attack (bonus is included in profile).


Skilled Torturer: Slaves captured by a unit containing a Haemonculus are worth an additional +5 soul points per wound.


Kabal RetinueThe Lords of the kabals prefer a bodyguard when on the battlefield. These are often made up of the kabal’s warriors that can be trusted so some degree, but many of the larger kabals will prefer to hire some Incubi.

The Incubi are a deadly warrior sect for hire within the city of Commorragh. This sect is rumored to have been founded by a fallen Eldar warrior of great repute, but this cannot be proven. None have ever set foot inside the sect’s dojo aside from the secretive Incubi themselves and those chosen few who are inducted at a very young age.

Like Haemonculi covens, the Incubi sect strikes deals with various kabals where members serve as unwavering bodyguards in a city full of assassins. They have no real ties to the Lords they protect, and this makes them perfect for the job.

WARGEARPunisher: This bladed staff creates a shock field that amplifies the force of the blow while splitting armor with its monomolecular edged blade. It is a close combat weapon that ignores armor saves and improves the wearer’s Strength by 1. It may not be combined with any other close combat weapon except for the tormentor helm.

Tormentor Helm: A head mounted Splinter Pistol that requires no hands to use. It is controlled by thought alone. In close combat, it gives the wearer +1 Attack.

GrotesquesGrotesques are born in the darkest reaches of a Haemonculus’ laboratory, where he or she experiments not only with physical methods of torture, but also mental and emotional methods. It is with the latter two that a captive may finally snap, no longer able to perceive its surroundings or itself as anything real.

Grotesques feel nothing but anguish, and have turned upon their own bodies in an attempt to stop the pain. The Haemonculus is only too willing to help, assisting them in twisting their bodies into cold weapons of malice and hatred that can be sent against the one’s enemies and kept easily underfoot.

SPECIAL RULESSlave Raiders, Twisted Minds, Feel No Pain

Mindless: Having survived the devastating methods of torture in the galaxy, Grotesques are now entirely unable to comprehend anything but violence and obedience. A squad of Grotesques requires a Ld test to move or run during any turn where there is no independent character joined to it. The squad may assault as normal.

Terrifying: If Grotesques are on the winning side of a close combat result, all losing units may not pass their Morale Check and will proceed to check for Sweeping Advance as normal. Units with Fearless may ignore this rule.


MandrakesCrawling through the shadows of Commorragh are unseen threats. They stalk their prey for the right moment and strike with neither fury nor contempt, but with a hunger so intense that it drives most of their kind insane.

These malevolent blights are not content with the drinking of souls. They must have the flesh as well.

Mandrakes have been warped by the desires of She Who Thirsts and the shifting realities of the more dangerous parts of the webway. This has led to the evolution of a dangerous hunter intent on feasting upon whatever it can, yet some Lords find this fringe element uniquely useful. Their ability to remain unseen makes them a great answer to the constant ambitions of their underlings and competitors, and their fierce attacks make them worthy of a specialized battlefield role.

But how does one control such insatiable hunger?

Hidden Deployment: Instead of deploying Mandrakes normally, place 3 Mandrake models in your deployment zone as markers for three possible positions where they could be. These markers can only move up to 6” during each of your movement phases and may do nothing else unless revealed.

Reveal the true location of the Mandrake squad by the start of your third movement phase by placing all models in the squad within 4” of one of the markers and then moving the marker model into coherency with them by the shortest route. They may run and assault as normal once revealed. Mandrakes may be kept in reserve like any other unit, but will lose their hidden deployment and must outflank instead.

Shadow-skinned: Mandrakes’ shifting skin gives them +2 to their cover saves. They also gain a 5+ cover save on open ground (do not modify this cover, the +2 is already included). Mandrakes always strike first when they charge into close combat on the turn they are revealed or outflank.

Dangerous Motives: Mandrakes can be overcome by their unnatural need for blood and gore. Mandrakes will always charge an enemy if they can (even if the Mandrakes are falling back, in which case they return to fighting as normal). If there is no enemy unit in range to assault, they will instead charge the nearest friendly unit at the start of the assault phase, attacking them as if they were the enemy if they can. They will not charge friendly units if joined by an independent character. Mandrakes also may not go to ground, as their hunger will always drive them onward in their hunt.


WychesWych cults offer entertainment to the denizens of the Dark City. Almost all of the Wyches have been inducted into a cult’s service as punishment for some perceived slight – usually for failing to defeat one’s superior and take his place. Almost none survive the gruelling sport of the arena or the crowd’s fickle moods, but a select few are able to forge a name for themselves despite the most unfair of odds.

These natural borne survivors are chosen to be true members of the cult and are bestowed the title of a Wych for their cunning ways in the arts of death. Wyches offer their services to kabals to help fund their cult’s costs in resources and especially souls, but some Wyches also do it because they tire of the scripted nature of arena fights, preferring the uncontrollable chaos of a real battle.

Wych Tactics: Wyches use special weapons and techniques in close combat designed to hinder their opponents. Models attacking Wyches lose 1 attack (to a minimum of 1) and must always roll a 4+ to hit unless they would normally require a 5+ or 6+ to hit. If a model has a rule that allows it to always hit on a set result or higher (such as 2+ for Khârn The Betrayer), it overrides wych tactics. Models with an unmodified strength of 6 or higher roll to hit Wyches as normal.


Wych Drugs: Wyches usually rely on chemicals to enhance their performance. These chemicals also have the effect of lessening the draining influence Slaanesh for just long enough to really focus on the Wych’s fighting arts. Even the best of the Wyches have become hooked on the stuff, and will share an injection with their squads right before a battle. Roll a D6 before deployment to see what effect the drugs have on the unit for the game. These drugs affect any model that is considered part of (but not joined to) the Wyches’ unit unless that model has its own combat drugs.

WarriorsEvery Dark Eldar citizen of age typically joins a kabal once he can hunt for slaves on his own. The kabal trains Warriors to strike hard and fast, leaving no survivors uncaptured, but this is just a fine-tuning since Commorragh’s harsh realities are the best training any soldier could ask for.

With a kabal, the young Warrior is taught by their Sybarite how to handle the raiding force’s trademark weaponry, from the deadly monomolecular blades and innocuous splinter rifle to the more advanced dark lance and shredder. These weapons are rightfully feared all across the galaxy for their potency and ability to inflict excruciating pain and devastation.

Shadow WarriorsIn any society, there are those who are natural born warriors. This is the case with the Dark Eldar as well. The deathrend squads are the cream of the crop for any kabal’s fighting force. These veterans of at least a hundred raids excel as the vanguard of the strike where their forward position allows them to make the most of the terrain and their deadly skill with a blade.

One Hundred Raids: Shadow Warriors are crafty veterans of at least one hundred slave raids for their kabal. Their experience allows them to find the use the rending special rule in close combat, in addition to any special rules for the weapons they are using.

RaidersMore so than anything else, Dark Eldar raids are known for their vast numbers of light and swift Raider transports. These nimble skimmers break through enemy defenses and unload their vicious passengers right into the enemy’s midst where they can do the most harm. Many Raiders are known to also sport heavy weaponry so they can lay down devastating fire right before they close in.

Seeker JetbikesThe Seeker Jetbike squads of Dark Eldar kabals are rightly feared by many worlds in the materium. Warriors use them to unleash a storm of splinters from their mounted guns, only to dart back out of sight before the storm is over. What’s worse, there is nowhere to hide, as their projectiles seem to weave through and around obstacles to find you!

Soul Seeker Ammunition: Sometimes Dark Eldar will imbue the ammunition crystals used in their splinter weapons with the tortured spirits from captured wraithbone. The shards of these crystals seek out a target, no matter where it is hiding, and find where it is most vulnerable. Splinter pistols, rifles, cannons, and hellglaives can use soul seeker ammunition. Any successful saves against these weapons must be re-rolled.

Reaver JetbikesWych Cults use jetbikes just as much as, if not more than, kabals. Special arenas are designed specifically to watch Reaver fights where contestants dodge and weave through the air in order to land a grisly kill with one of the many razor-edged blades on their bikes.

During raids, Reavers fall upon their foes like the wind. Instantly cutting through the ranks to quickly wheel around and finish off or capture any survivors.

In addition, reaver jetbikes are fitted with numerous blades which allows the rider to use the bike itself as a close combat weapon, and giving the rider +1 Strength (included in the profile).

Reaver Assault: Reaver Wyches can’t rely on their usual tactics to evade incoming attacks in close combat, so they instead choose to charge in using the their jetbikes to slash through the enemy at high speed. Only if the enemy has incredible reaction time, or if they land a lucky blow, will there even be a chance to retaliate against this maneuver. On a turn where a Reaver Jetbike Squad charges into close combat, any enemy model with Initiative 5 or lower will only be allowed to make a single attack, regardless of their profile and wargear.

Reaver Drugs: Reaver Wyches take similar drugs to other members of the cults, but also differing slightly. Roll a D6 before deployment to see what effect the drugs have on the unit for the game. These drugs affect any model that is considered part of (but not joined to) the Reaver Jetbikes’ unit unless that model has its own combat drugs.

Warp BeastsCertain creatures manefest themselves at the edge between the Webway and the Warp. They are the living embodiment of nightmares known as Warp Beasts. The Wych Cults love to capture such beasts and add them to their events for dramatic effect. Accomplished Wyches have learned to bend these creatures to their will and heard them toward their enemies with similar results.

HellionsSome Wyches prefer a more nimble hellion skyboard over the pure speed of a jetbike. This allows them to duck in and out of combat at will and dodge attacks coming their way. Hellion Wyches are often seen dropping down unexpectedly from the clouds onto their foes, causing confusion and panic. They known for two iconic weapons. The first is the Hellglaive, and the second is the Net Slinger.

WARGEAR Range Str AP TypeHellglaive 18” 3 5 Assault 3Net Slinger 12” –– –– Assault 1 Large Blast

Hellglaive: Hellions use this weapon by swinging it as they fire off a rapid series of spinter shots. With practice this allows them to strafe their shots across several enemies at a time. In close combat, the bladed ends of the Hellglaive allow it to be used as two close combat weapons.

Net Slinger: When Hellions swoop in from the skies, they will often fire this weapon to tie up their prey. It launches a high-tensile wire mesh connected to a set of metal pikes which imbed into the ground upon impact.

When a Hellions unit with a net slinger deep strikes, they may place a single large blast marker centered on an enemy model anywhere within 12" of them. Scatter the marker D6". Any models hit by the Net Slinger must pass a Strength Test or their unit will be forced to go to ground. Note that this is not a Morale Check, and so Fearless units are also susceptible. Each net slinger may be used only once per battle.

Skyboard: Models on a skyboard count as jump infantry, but may not choose to move on foot. This means they may not run during their shooting phase and are not slowed down by difficult terrain when charging into close combat. Skyboards allow their riders to use the Hit & Run special rule. Skyboards also confer a 4+ invulnerable save, as they are constantly weaving through the air at breakneck speeds and this makes them difficult targets.

ScourgesScourges swarm overhead, darkening the skies during particularly large Dark Eldar raids like a plague. Scourges ride a pair of powered wings that let them fly behind enemy lines and strike where they are least expected. They support the other Warriors with a high volume of fire or by ambushing heavy enemy units with dark matter and electromagnetic weaponry.

WARGEARHaywire Grenades: These grenades are extremely effective at disrupting enemy vehicles’ systems because they emit a wave of electromagnetic energy. Roll to hit for only one attack from each model in close combat with the vehicle. If the roll to hit is successful, roll a D6. On a 1, the attack does nothing. On a 2 through 5, it causes a glancing hit. On a 6, it causes a penetrating hit.

RavagersThe Ravager is a modification of the Raider design built as a heavy weapons platform with unparalleled speed and maneuverability. It strikes fast and hits hard, but is still almost as lightly armored as the transport it is based on. Luckily, the Dark Eldar have a few tricks up their sleeves that allow the Ravager to remain undetected while it unloads dark matter beams upon the enemy.

WARGEARDark Veil: A more widely dispersed form of the shadow field, the dark veil effectively cloaks the surrounding area in a deep and murky gloom. Any enemy unit targeting the Ravager uses the rules for Night Fighting as long as the attacker is more than 18” from it.

Talos Sting: The Talos is armed with a unique ranged weapon that it fires indiscriminately. It has a front arc exactly like a hull mounted weapon (45° to either side) hitting every unit (friend or foe) within a 12” range in this arc with D6 hits. The projectiles it fires are highly poisonous and will always wound on a 4+ and re-rolling to wound if the target’s toughness is 4 or less.

Crushing Claws: Haemonculi like to put huge claws on the Talos that can be used to pry open vehicles and can get at the prey hiding inside. When the Talos is attacking a vehicle, roll to hit as normal. Use any number of the hits against the vehicle, and any additional hits will give the Talos +1 to any vehicle damage results it inflicts in this round.

Soul Vortex: Sometimes a Talos will be fitted with a device which enables it to focus the souls of its victims into a field frenzied, otherworldly energy. This tempest of angry souls is invisible to any normal human’s eye, but the souls within will attack any act of hatred against the Talos. This gives the Talos a 4+ invulnerable save. A Talos with the soul vortex may only use slaves captured to power the vortex (so it may not use slave raider abilities). On any turn where the Talos captures 30 soul points worth of slaves, it will gain a 3+ invulnerable save until the start of it’s next turn.

Hover: The Talos hovers above the ground. It can therefore move over friendly or enemy models or impassable terrain, but it may not end its move on top of either. The Talos takes difficult terrain tests as normal since it is a monstrous creature, and does not use the rules for jump infantry.

Engine of Torture: The Talos is enshrouded within a palpable aura of pain and suffering. It can use the terrifying aura slave raider ability every turn for free.


Asdrubael VectSUPREME LORD, KABAL OF THE BLACK HEART

The most revered and respected Lord in Commorragh, Asdrubael Vect commands the vast forces of the Kabal of the Black Heart. It is said that he is personally responsible for founding their home in the Webway, and that he was alive thousands of years ago to witness the birth of The Great Enemy.

Vect holds the allegience of several kabals, cults, and covens, and he always has a huge number of Incubi to protect his holdings and enforce his will. He is seemingly and strangely immune to the influence of Slaanesh, and yet he regularly has hundreds of slaves tortured and sacrificed for his own desires.

When he rides into battle, it is always atop his personal Ravager, known as the Dais of Destruction. The Dais carries his bodyguard for added protection. As a being of vast experience and frighteningly guile, there is little chance of facing him with any great success.

WARGEAREnergy Field: The Dais is protected by a unique energy field that gives it an armor value of 14 against shooting attacks. Close combat attacks are made against the Dais’ normal armor values.

SPECIAL RULESSlave Raiders, Twisted Minds

Dais Close Combat: The Dais uses the rules of a Walker when fighting in close combat. It represents 6 models and gains +D6 attacks on the charge instead of the normal +1 attack.

Legend of Commorragh: Asdrubael Vect is rumored to have single-handedly saved the survivors from the epicenter of the Eye of Terror and then founded the dark city of Commorragh within the webway, which is now the home of the Dark Eldar race. If he were ever to fall to an enemy attack, the Dark Eldar will stop at nothing to tear their foes apart. Asdrubael Vect becomes an objective if his dais becomes destroyed. Leave his model on the table, even in the event of an Explodes damage result. If the enemy captures this objective, it is worth 3 kill points. Dark Eldar units in Vect’s army gain Preferred Enemy if his dais is destroyed and they must immediately take a Morale Check.

Kabal Warfare: An army including Asdrubael Vect may be named the Kabal of the Black Heart. The Kabal of the Black Heart may contain two more Troop choices than is normally allowed, and may take dedicated Raiders for free on any squad that has at least ten models (vehicle upgrades still cost points as normal). An army may only be named as one cult or kabal.

Locked away deep within the bowels of the Vect's mighty fortress tower lies an ancient relic of unimaginable power. A cherished artifact kept in total secrecy, for there are many who would stop at nothing to gain possession of it's might. So far, Vect has dared to use it only once, for it is far too dangerous and costly to use lightly. But this is one of those times when desperate measured are required.

An ornate mask holding a shard of Khaine's essence, a delicate sliver of crystal carrying the sparkling promise of a god's wrath held within lays dormant until it's master feeds it. The souls of one thousand slaves forced to battle each other to the death fill the vast chamber and are sucked into the steadily pulsing shard. The survivors are executed quickly as a reward for their victory.

Then and only then, the shard begins to arc great storms of crackling energy that are blacker than night, but still somehow painful to look at directly. The mask fills with a terrible face and glowing ultraviolet eyes, followed soon by a head, and then a neck until a massive 30 ft tall body has appeared. But to call it a body is not entirely true, for it takes on the form of the most potent energy in it's environment. In the webway, that energy is always wispy black clouds of antimatter - more a body-shaped hole of unreality than anything truly there.

The massive giant of black fire and purple, hazy anti-light is now sent to war against the Dark City's most deadly enemy. A great host of daemons has been set loose from a rift to the Warp. It glides like a ghost, sending great great storms against the invaders, ripping from both this reality and the Warp with amazing fury. Any daemons who manage to get close find only an emptiness that swallows their weapons as they are erased from existence with a blow from the giant's shifting figure.

Massive towers fall as the battle rages until all the daemons are exterminated and their rift unmade by a great blast of dark energies. Having extinguished its reserves of life for the time being, the black ghost dissipates into swirling smoke. Vect walks to the obsidian mask and picks it up. Time to hide this away for another rainy day, he thinks. It's a shame my best warriors have all seen it, for I dislike losing such loyal and useful subjects.

SPECIAL RULESFleet

Daemon: As a Daemon, the Dark Avatar is Fearless and has the Eternal Warrior special rule.

Incensing: Any other Dark Eldar unit with a model within 12" of the Dark Avatar gains Furious Charge.

Dark Energies: The body of the Dark Avatar is composed of dark unnatural energies that rip apart the fabric of reality. The Dark Avatar simply ignores most attacks against it as it’s incorporeal form swallows up all energy. This gives it a 3+ invulnerable save and the ability to ignore lance and laser weapons. When the Dark Avatar attacks in close combat, any of its successful to wound rolls of 6+ cause instant death. The disorienting effect of being nearby these energies also causes the Dark Avatar to count as having defensive grenades.

Blackfire Lightning: The Dark Avatar can wield its dark energy as a weapon and shoot it out as a bolt that eradicates all matter with equal ease. Blackfire lightning is a shooting attack that has the following profile:

Range S AP TypeBlackfire Lightning 18" 9 1 Heavy 1 Blast, Lance, Arcing

Arcing: If the Dark Avatar rolls a direct hit on the scatter die, use the small arrow and 2D6 to place an identical blast as if it had scattered the full distance in that direction.

Qellian RastmaREAVER QUEEN, CULT OF THE RED DRAGON

Among the twisting spires of Commorragh floats a constant swarm of Dark Eldar jetbikes, transport craft, and space vessels towing in their latest prizes from the materium. In the center of this swirling storm of activity are the ominous floating shipyards of the Kaerm’vsol district, the turf of the Red Dragons. One of the most feared wych cults throughout the webway and beyond, the Red Dragons use the swift and deadly reaver jetbike almost exclusively. Their armada of reavers is vast and can strike anywhere, at any time, and instantly disappear into the distance.

Their legendary queen and founder is Qellian Rastma, a victor of thousands of arena air duels and battles. She has customized her bike with wicked bladed wings that cut through enemy formations like a scythe through the field, and her pinpoint control of her vehicle allows her to weave a path of destruction through the battlefield with ease.

Her cult roams the shipyards enforcing their will (and taxes) on the returning raiding parties. If any resist, they are quickly dispatched by the Red Dragon’s trademark gamma weapons.

WARGEARDragon's Claw: This special reaver jetbike is fitted with extended blades wreathed in powerful shock fields. It counts as a power weapon in close combat, and gives Qellian +2 strength, +1 toughness, and +2 attacks (all included).

SPECIAL RULESSlave Raiders, Twisted Minds, Wych Tactics Mastery, Evasive, Independent Character

Exceptional Rider: Qellian Rastma automatically passes any dangerous terrain tests she has to take.

Attack Dive: In Qellian's movement phase, you may declare a special type of move called an attack dive. If you do, Qellian may pivot once and then must move straight ahead more than 12" and up to 24". At the end of the attack dive, determine which models she would have come into base contact with along her move and immediately play a round of close combat between Qellian and those models. No bonus attack for charging is used during an attack dive, and no combat results are determined since the attack dive is not in the assault phase. Any attacks against Qellian require rolls of 6 to hit during the attack dive unless the model has a special rule that always hits on a different result.

Qellian is treated as having used Turbo Boost if she makes an attack dive (so she cannot shoot are declare an assault, but gains a 3+ cover save if moved at least 18" and cannot go to ground). An attack dive does not require that Qellian remain 1" away from enemy models. If she ends her attack dive within 1" of an enemy model, she counts as having charged into close combat with that model’s unit during the following assault phase.

Cult Warfare: An army with Qellian Rastma can be named the Cult of Red Dragons. The Cult of Red Dragons may field Reaver squads as Troops, and must do so for at least two Troop choices. Reaver squads in this cult may replace any shredder with a dragon's breath at no additional cost. An army may only be named as one cult or kabal.

WARGEARDisemboweller Blades: These unique blades require expertise to wield effectively, but in the hands of Drazhar, they sing through the air with incredible precision and speed, and slaying countless foes in the blink of an eye. Disemboweller blades ignore armor saves, and allow Drazhar to roll for two wounds with every successful hit.

Persecutor Helm: This is a special form of the tormentor helm Drazhar uses to create a storm of splinters as he slashes his way through the ranks of the enemy. In close combat, the Persecutor Helm allows Drazhar to make 3 additional attacks at Strength 3 and Initiative 10. These attacks allow armor saves and do not use the rules for disemboweller blades.


Incubus Master: Drazhar must be taken instead of an Incubus Master in a Kabal Retinue.

Master Bodyguard: Drazhar will protect his charge to the end. In close combat and before taking saves, Drazhar may attempt to block any wounds allocated to the Lord of the Kabal in the retinue he is in. Roll a D6 for each wound he attempts to block. On a roll of 4+, Drazhar intercepts the wound successfully and the wound is removed all together. Any other roll results in Drazhar taking the wound instead of the Lord of the Kabal he is protecting.


WARGEARAgoniserAgoniser close combat weapons are charged with a special energy field that causes severely painful spams throughout the enemy’s body. This can take down even the largest opponents and is a prized weapon among both kabal warriors and wych cults. Agonisers wound on a D6 roll of 4+, with no armor saves allowed. Vehicles take a glancing hit on a 4+ if hit by an agoniser.

AnquisherThe anguisher is a powered glove incorporating powered blades and stolen wraithbone. It is capable of guiding strikes to where they will cause the most pain. The Anguisher is a power weapon that re-rolls to wound. If two are used together, the wielder gains +2 attacks instead of +1 for having an additional close combat weapon.

Animus Vitae (One per army)This special grenade creates a sphere of barbed wire that expands and catches victims in its painful embrace. The Dark Eldar find the sight of this torture device in action highly invigorating. Any unit containing a model with the animus vitae gains an additional 5 soul points from captured slaves. If the model with the animus vitae captures a slave, he gains +1 WS and +1 S for the rest of the battle.

Archangel of Pain (One per army)The essence of a daemon is entombed within a cask carried by this Dark Eldar. Once released, it rushes forward and incapacitates the enemy with its terrible screams. Any unit that is not in close combat and is hit by the archangel of pain takes a Pinning Test with a -2 to their Leadership.

BlasterThe blaster is compact design of the dark lance, firing short-lived stream of dark energy that simply erase all matter it touches.

Combat Drugs Important members of Dark Eldar society often have access to their own combat drugs. These dull the effect of She Who Thirsts for a short while, and also give the user unnatural prowess in close combat. At the start of each assault phase, roll a D6 for up to one of each of the following effects listed. All effects last until the next assault phase.

If any two dice roll the same, the model takes a wound from the drugs without any saves allowed. If three or more dice roll the same, the model overdoses and is immediately removed from play. Any model removed due to an overdose is not counted when determining close combat results.

A. 12” assault move and 3D6” fall back moveB. +2 WSC. +1 SD. StubbornE. Preferred EnemyF. +1 AttackG. Always strike at Initiative 10H. +1 to rolls for capturing slaves

Crucible of Malediction (One per army)This crucible contains the souls of tortured psykers. Upon release, they create a psychic cacophany that can drive psykers insane. Once per game, you may release these souls. Starting with the closest, each enemy psyker on the board takes a Psychic Test. Models within 12” of the crucible suffer a -1 Ld for this test, and models at least 24” away gain a +1 Ld for this test. If one psyker fails this test, is removed from play and no other psykers have to take the test.

Destructor See page 4.

Dark LanceThe dark lance propels deadly streams of the mysterious dark energy that only the Dark Eldar possess. It doesn’t so much destroy the target as remove parts of it from existance. No one knows exactly how this dark energy works or where the erased material goes, but there is no denying its potency and disregard for all types of standard armor.

DisintegratorThe disintegrator modulates dark energy into bursts rather than a steady stream. This allows it to attack multiple targets in a sustained fire mode. It can also charge up a single high-powerd and unstable burst that discharges upon impact, eradicating everything nearby.

Dragon’s Breath See page 15.

Gruesome DecorationsDark Eldar love to decorate themselves with their fallen foes. Whether that means hanging severed fingers and ears on hooks, painting on markings in blood, or something even worse it all has the same effect of creating a monstrous visage to one’s opponents and adding to one’s reputation as a deadly hand-to-hand fighter. Enemy units suffer -1 Ld if any of their models were taken as slaves by a model with gruesome decorations. The effect lasts until the end of the turn.

Goblet of Spite (One per army)A sacred relic from the pleasure cults that existed before the Fall, the goblet of spite instills intense hatred among the wych cults. Only a Succubus or Wych Lord may take the goblet of spite. Wyches in a squad that contains the goblet of spite will always hit on a 3+ in close combat, regardless of other factors.

Haywire Grenades See page 11.

Hell Mask See page 3.

Hellglaive See page 10.

Mask of the Damned (One per army)The mask of the damned shows the enemy their deepest fears realized, projecting these hellish thoughts straight into their minds. Such visions can drop a warrior to his knees mid-charge. Any unit wishing to charge a unit containing the mask of the damned must pass a standard Leadership test or else they may not charge. Note that even those who have no fear of battle will always have something to be fearful of buried deep in their minds, so Fearless units are also affected. It replaces any other mask worn by the same model.

Net Slinger See page 10.

Nightmare Doll (One per army)To create a nightmare doll is to transplant tortured psyker spirits into one’s own mind. Needless to say, this is a risky maneuver in Commorragh, where they see psykers as playthings to be abused, and on the battlefield, where the furies of war can drive you into a feverish delirium. An army with a nightmare doll may force the opponent to re-roll when determining who chooses to go first or second. The model that uses the nightmare doll then takes a Strength 3 hit with no saves of any kind allowed.

Paralyzer See page 4.

Plasma GrenadesThese are a form of assault grenades. The rules for which can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Wargear 17

Poisoned AmmoSplinter weapons very often include a variety of deadly poisons in their ammunition crystals. Any splinter pistol, rifle, cannon, bombard, or hellglaive with poisoned ammunition will always wound on a 3+, and if the strength of the weapon is equal to or higher than the target’s toughness, it will re-roll to wound.

Poisoned BladeThe Dark Eldar save their deadliest poisons for close combat, where they cen better see the effects of their work. This counts as a poisoned weapon that wounds on a 2+. The rules for poisoned weapons can be found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Punisher See page 5.

Reaver Jetbike See page 9.

Scissorhand See page 4.

Seeker Jetbike See page 8.

Shadow Field (One per army)The shadow field creates a miasma of dark energy absorbing the energy of any projectiles fired into it. The wearer gains a 2+ invulnerable save until he or she suffers an unsaved wound while using it. Multiple dice are rolled together against the shadow field rather than rolling each of the dice one at a time.

ShredderThe shredder launches a fine mesh of monofilament wire with barbs or serrated edges. Everyone in the area of this mesh web gets tangled up and is sliced to pieces as they struggle to get free. This mesh is so destructive that it can even tangle up and jam the systems of less protected vehicles.

Skyboard See page 10.

Soul Seeker Ammo See page 8.

Splinter PistolDark Eldar often carry the splinter pistol with them into close combat, where its shard ammo and attached combat blade are very effective.

Splinter CannonSplinter technology generates no recoil, which allows a larger version of the system to be hand-held. It is even usable on the move, making it the perfect weapon for Dark Eldar warriors who would always prefer to get up close and personal with their victims.

Splinter RifleSplinter rifles use a electro-magnetic pulse to break apart a crystal into shards and propel them at incredible speeds. The long accelerator barrel of the rifle gives it an exceptional accuracy and range among the various rifles of other races, but it is a lightweight weapon not capable of repeating shots.

Splinter Bomb LauncherThis man-portable weapon lobs a fast-spinning grenade high into the air. The grenade senses when it is about to hit the ground and quickly ejects it’s entire mass in all directions as deadly splinter shards.

Stinger See page 4.

Talos Sting See page 12.

TerrorfexThese special grenades are made from captured wraithbone. When they explode, everyone in the vicinity experiences nightmaric hallucinations designed to induce absolute terror. Any unit hit by a terrorfex takes an immediate Pinning Test with a -1 to their Ld for each model hit after the first and another -1 Ld if they are below half strength.

Tormentor Helm See page 5.

Trophy RackMany Dark Eldar put the heads of their victims on pikes in the middle of battle just to mock their opponents. If a model with a trophy rack slays an enemy model in close combat, it may now re-roll any Morale check.

Vexantrope (One per army)The vexantrope is a delicate mask of skin and bone adorned with runes of illusion. It can paint confusing images in the minds of the enemy, sapping their ability to fight. Any models in base contact with the wearer must pass a WS test or strike with only a single attack which will always hit on a 5+. Models which have a special rule allowing them to always hit on a specific result may still do so.

Webway PortalWebway portals are generated by portable devices that rip a hole in the materium to the ancient Eldar interstellar tunnel system where the Dark Eldar reside. A model carrying a webway portal may use it once per battle during one of its shooting phases instead of shooting or running. When the webway portal is used, place a blast marker anywhere within 1” of the model or its transport. This blast marker represents the portal. Units that arrive via the webway may move onto the board from the edge of the portal as if from reserves.

Treat the portal as dangerous terrain except for Dark Eldar non-vehicle units, who may embark into a friendly portal as if it were a transport. They will disembark from any friendly portal during their next movement phase.

Any unit may be designated to arrive via the webway portal regardless of whether the mission allows reserves or not. Any unit rolled in for reserves before a webway portal is opened will automatically arrive through the first opened portal, but must wait off the board until then. If no webway portals can be used, any models designated to arrive via webway may not enter the game at all, but they do not count for kill points or victory points.

Xenospasm (One per army)The Xenospasm is a modification of the terrorfex grenade. The tortured wraithbone inside it reacts violently with those nearby when it detonates. Models taking a Pinning Test from a Xenospasm do so at -1 Leadership.

Wargear 18

VEHICLE UPGRADESCorpse AdornmentsThe vehicle has sharp pikes all over its hull on which the corpses of victims are presented to the enemy. An enemy unit’s Leadership is reduced by 1 for each vehicle with corpse adornments within 6” of at least one of the unit’s models.

Darkstar EngineSpeed is a way of life for the Dark Eldar, and to be outrun often spells defeat. Dark Eldar vehicles can use potent dark energy to propel them to incredible velocities. Vehicles with a darkstar engine can go an additional 6+D6” when moving flat out. If the distance moved is at least 32” in a single phase, the vehicle gains +1 to its cover save. The vehicle and models embarked on it may not shoot in the following phase. If a Raider with a darkstar engine suffers a Destroyed–explodes! result, the explosion will always reach the full 6”.

Harpoon LinesRaiders can use a set of harpoons that fire out from the sides of the vehicle to clamp onto an enemy vehicle and hold the Raider close to it so that embarked squads can proceed to attack it. Units embarked on a Raider with harpoon lines may assault a vehicle within 3” of that Raider without having to disembark or make an assault move. The embarked unit must not have attacked another unit in the same turn, and their Raider must not have moved flat out that turn.

HorrorfexThe horrorfex is an upgrade to any single weapon on the vehicle. The upgraded weapon now has an additional firing mode similar to that of the terrorfex with an improved range of 18”. This counts as firing a defensive weapon.

Night ShieldNight shields trap and distort light, helping to hide the true location of the vehicle and often making it seem closer than it really is. The range of weapons is reduced by 6” when shooting at a vehicle with a night shield. This also affects the ability to take two shots with Rapid Fire weapons and the range for 2D6 armor penetration with Melta weapons. It also affects spotting distances during Night Fighting. Template weapons are unaffected.

Screaming JetsThe vehicle is able to fly at high altitude and drop down onto the battlefield with the wailing scream of its high-powered jets. Vehicles with screaming jets are allowed to Deep Strike out of reserve and count as moving at cruising speed the turn on which they arrive. Passengers may not disembark on the turn their vehicle Deep Strikes.

ScythesDark Eldar vehicles often attach monomolecular-edged scythes to their hulls. This makes them very dangerous to assault. Any enemy model in close combat that rolls a 1 to hit a vehicle with scythes takes a Strength 5 hit with normal armor saves allowed.

Slave SnaresThe Raider is often seen dangling numerous chains with barbs and cruel hooks below it’s hull. These can be used to sweep across squads of enemies and snag them with the dangling weapons. A Raider with slave snares targets any unit that it passes over in the movement phase with a number of attacks equal to the number of models in that unit its hull has passed over. Models may only be passed over once by the Raider. Resolve the attacks as you would for Strength 4 close combat attacks that allow armor saves. After removing casualties, continue moving any other models. Casualties from slave snares are counted in the following shooting phase for purposes of checking for 25% casualties for Morale Checks.

StabilizersA Raider can use a system of gyroscopic stabilizers to allow passengers embarked on it to fire while moving at cruising speed. These systems reroute energy from the main weapon systems, so only defensive weapons may fire on a turn when stabilizers are used.

Torture AmpThe screams of captured slaves are amplified by specialized Haemonculus technology mounted on the vehicle during raids. The anquishing sounds of which allow the vehicle to Tank Shock even though it is not a tank. May not be combined with Slave Snares.

DARK ELDAR ARMY LISTThis section details each unit so that you can play battles using the standard scenarios in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. It also gives you the basic information you need to use Dark Eldar in custom designed scenarios or campaigns.

The army list is divided into six sections (HQ, Troops, Dedicated Transports, Elites, Fast Attack, and Heavy Support). Each squad, vehicle, or character is placed into one of these sections based on its role within the army. Each unit and its various options are given a point value based on how effective that unit or option is in battle. Before you play a game, you need to agree with your opponent on a scenario and a total number of points each of you will spend. Then you can proceed to pick your army.

Each unit has a concise entry for all of the different things that define it. Below are listed definitions of each of these entries.

Unit Profile: At the start of each entry you will find the name of the unit, the statistics any models that it may include, and the points of the basic unit without any upgrades.

Unit Composition: This entry lists the number of each model makes up the basic unit. If the composition includes the word “Unique,” you may only include one of that unit in your army.

Unit Type: This entry refers to the rules of unit types found in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. Each type of unit, such as Infantry, Jump Infantry, or Vehicle has it’s own set of rules for movement, shooting, and assaulting.

Wargear: This entry lists each piece of equipment the models in the basic unit carry. Their points are included in the unit profile.

Special Rules: This entry lists the special rules of the unit. Some of these rules are found in the Forces section. Other rules refer to the Universal Special Rules section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.

Transport: This entry lists any transports the unit may take. The unit entries for these transports can be found in their own section. The Transports section of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook explains how these dedicated transports work.

Options: This entry lists all the upgrades you may add to the unit if you choose to do so. A model in the unit must have the upgrade you’ve chosen visually represented on it or else you may not take it.

USING A FORCE ORGANIZATION CHARTThe army lists are used in conjunction with the force organization chart from a scenario. There are five categories of units on the chart that correspond to five of the sections in the army list. The sixth section is for Dedicated Transports, which do not count as a choice on this chart. Each grey-toned box represents one optional choice of that type, and each black-toned box represents a compulsory choice.

MISSIONS & POINTSThis army list is designed to be used with the Standard Missions in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook. It may also be used with any other missions, but play balance may be affected.

Dark Eldar Army List 20

KABAL AND WYCH CULT CHARACTERSYou’ll notice many of the named characters in the Dark Eldar army list are drawn from several different Kabals or Wych Cults, but they can still be used in the same army if you wish. This can represent the occurance of the various factions of Commorragh teaming up for a large raid or for some other reason. Alternatively, you can use the model and rules for a nammed character to represent a mighty character from another Wych Cult or Kabal. All you have to do is come up with a new name, but it can also be more fun to create your own story for these characters. This is a perfect way to personalize your army. Just make sure your opponent is aware of what everything counts as.
