Ahh the dark kin !
We are swift, and we are lethal. We are a poisoned dagger thrust into the heart of the foe. We are the hidden blade, the strike so sudden that the enemy falls before they ever know they are under attack.
I was one of those who joined in 9th. Got away from them for a while to try out some other armies and thought Iād gifted all my models away. Was clearing out some storage and found 1k points of them still left, literally two days before the dataslate bumped them up. Time to rededicate myself to my first love!
Great Guy! Deldar Warlords.
The Kings of 40k together again!
Arent wyches with Lelith S4?
I played the faction near the end of 9th and picked it up to play a fast melee army using transports. This is literally the play style the new detachment wants to push.
Audio quality seems bad. What happened?
I enjoy hearing Skari's take on the Drukhari. I do hope that when the book comes, the remaining detachments will be fairly playable as well, but more than that perhaps, that the miniature range is expanded a bit (a few new special characters would not have hurt if nothing else) and all the models are made available again in plastic.
Drukhari player: I'm a bit of an optimist.
Drukhari are neither good nor bad until skari says they are good or bad.
As now the Necrons are getting most popular on top tables, dark eldar should get more deep strike denial mechanics instead of -1 AP which totally ruins the game experience for space marine players which rely on priced in survivability and slowness. -1 AP is doubling the damage output for totally no points increase. I am more then happy to see incubus or wyches with higher ap but that need to be appropriately priced in taking into account their limited survivability of course.
Overkill is so common in good but not great lists. People seem to be so focused on maximizing synergies that they forget to consider what the purpose of the unit is, and whether they're spending points optimally to fulfill that purpose.
