/de/ - Dark Eldar

Fellow archons, dracons, true-kin all. A toast to the crude mon-keigh in bulky armor, and all the work they have done to fill themselves with hubris and make themselves so stimulatingly resilient to torture! Watching them crumble slowly fills me with delight. I propose a topic for discussion. Which species' pain do you find to be most pleasing?

New deldar dex when?

SOON, PLEASE. I'm tired of us having 5 viable units even if I can win with them. Provided I cheese and they don't. What were they thinking with this 'dex.

I want some sort of battle focus style rule for the DE, that lets them be more mobile, like their craftworld kin.
Not an exact copy of that rule though.
Maybe something that lets them charge after running, or allows them to charge trough cover without any disadvantages.

It's kind of ridiculous that DE used to be the fast ones and still are according to fluff, but in the game itself the craftworlders not only do basically everything else better other than poison spam, but also move faster too. The fluff says one thing but the crunch the opposite. I wonder how and why this happened, DE figures got too popular?

No, just codex frenzy, bigger, better, faster, stronger, make the new codex the thing everyone needs to play.

is this some kinda elf fag thread? seems i need call in the local paladins yall talking some sick shit.

Hello sir i hear you had a complaint about some evil elf ballics? They are stroking there egos or something along that lines sir?

That is what it looks like to me. Elves your goning to have to tone down the stroking before we call in more paladins.

You can discus away but i will be monitoring.

Nothing going on here just selling these good soldiers ketchup squirting knives! Good day to you sir.

Wew lad Galactic laser tag sure is fun! A lot more fun than murder and slavery like those OTHER dark eldar.

Oh well i see. Ill have to inspect those of coarse let me get an expert.

This dwarf here says your a lier and a scoundrel
Im gana ask that you lay down your aggression before i have to put in the full force of my faith.

well that certinly dose seem acceptable. just keep the sharp weapons out of it and i can accept this.

OH Shit! look over there I think those humans need help!

Tell me about the most ridiculous dark eldar shenanigans.

The Black hole in a box is a pretty good one.

the story about the vengeful ghost possessed by a daemon that vect had to put down twice

The fact that Commorragh has two stolen suns. Also Vect has ruled over the Dark City for thousands of years and has always managed to stay one step ahead of all of his rivals (so basically every other archon, especially the old nobility).

I'd like to see a series of books about Vect's rise to power from a slave to the leader of the Black Heart Kabal. It says in the codex he rose quickly and disposed of all of his rivals as he ascended the ranks, but never had to get his own hands dirty. The Dark Eldar are generally envious, ambitious and cruel to a fault and they'd rather be the master than call anyone the title. But Vect has managed to outsmart even the most devious race of people for thousands of fucking years.

He's something else. Wish there was more on him.

>The fact that Commorragh has two stolen suns
I thought it was a dark place.

They stole suns, but they are kept in bondage (its the dark elves, after all, everything is bondage one way or another). so the light is heavily reduced.

how to win with deldar grognards???

I haven't played my Dark Eldar in ages, but when I saw that GW FAQ'd-out the Jink/Passengers technicality, I was pretty surprised. That was one of the very few things Dark Eldar had going for them, and now Raiders are back to being worthless; and I'm not normally someone that labels a unit as worthless.

>back to being
I should correct myself; they weren't really useless before, but now they absolutely are.

How else are you going to get your 10 bloodbrides across the field?

>poison spam
Eldar have distortion which is like super poison that works on vehicles.

In the fluff the the dark eldar are supposed to be the hyper-athletic ones at the cost of no psychic when compared to their craftworld brothers.

Maybe give them the ability to snap-shot at a higher BS? Make them cheaper and more hordeish so you can afford a wave bodies alongside the ships?
I can't think of anything that wouldn't encourage more cancerous "rules creep", something which they are a victim of seeing how all the ignores cover and pseudo-fearless fucked up their old gimmick.

Because of how huge it is. Those two suns (or is it three ?) are not enough to light the whole place.

The Dark Eldar are so edgy, even their edges have edges.

Not to mention their entire way of life and only means of existence serves no purpose except to keep their slender elven anuses one step ahead of Slaanesh's lubed-up tentacles.

Are we talking 5E Dex Grognards or 3E Dex Grognards?

If the latter, show them the old mandrake sculpts.

would 30k darkeldar and 30k elder use gear that is a mix of darkeldar and eldar and harlequin in 40k?

like theres 30k dark eldar they are mentioned in the very first crononical HH book promethium sun but they are called "dustwraiths" but they clearly are on darkeldar green goblin skimmers and such. like is there any source on how eldar where closer to the fall?

Being a Dark Eldar player is suffering.
