ARHRA THE FALLEN ONE

This Paradise World was guarded by Kharandras now

recognised as the heir to the Dark Phoenixs shrine who led a

force of Biel-Tan Eldar, dedicated entirely to the swift attacks

which would be required to overcome the power of the true

Scorpion Lord. The battle lasted for 6 days, 6 hours, and 6

minutes, but eventually the two met at the battles centre.

It was here that the Fallen Phoenix was forced to prove how

far he would go to please his new masters. Arhra battered

Kharandras and near four hundred Eldar to their deaths

destroying their Spirit Stones with fell swings of the Foetearer

before he was finally brought down by his heir. It was at this

point, however, that the shrine was brought down from within

by members of his retinue.

Since that day, Arhra has not been seen by any eyes human

or alien. Some say that he has, in absence, been responsible

for the establishment of the Incubi within Dark Eldar society.

However, such rumours have never been confirmed could he

have sunk so low?

The tale of Arhra is a long one, filled with terror and flowing

blood. Of all of the Eldars Dark Kin, he is the one most

despised for while any Eldar can fall, the Phoenix Lords are a

different entity entirely.

Arhra is the only known Phoenix Lord to have fallen, and is

equal to the two missing Warp Spider and Shining Spears

Lords in mystery. No-one knows why Arhra fell from his

position among the most influential Eldar of all time, but what

is known is the nature of his disgrace. Arhra was corrupted by

the Chaos Powers, and now burns with the diabolic splendour

of Chaos. With this, he was driven insane forced by the

unnatural forces consuming his body to fight against his

fellows. A number of his most dedicated disciples, known as

the Disciples Of Death, fell alongside Arhra and together they

led a force of 1000 Striking Scorpions toward the first Shrine to

the Scorpions located on a now dead Eldar Paradise world.

Unit Type:

Independent CharacterSpecial Rules:

Fearless Dark Eldar Eternal Warrior 5+ Invulnerable Save Move Through Cover Infiltrate Furious Charge

Preferred Enemy (Striking Scorpions)

Disciples of Death: Arhra is joined in all battles by a retinue of

chosen Incubi warriors. This is a unit of 9 Incubi Blademasters,

which may use Arhras initiative. The Incubi count as a retinue.

The Dark Father: None inspire more fear than the Dark

Phoenix. All Dark Eldar units within 18of Arhra may use his

Leadership, and count as Stubborn. If a unit falls back and their

path comes within 6 of Arhra or his unit, they are immediately

destroyed.

Black Armour of Arhra: All light is diminished from the chaotic

energies inherent in this tainted armour. All shooting

conducted against Arhra and his retinue is at half strength, and

uses the Night Fighting special rules.

Scorpions Sc ream: This artefact is one of the first

mandiblasters in existence. Arhra gains +2 attacks on the turn

that he charges, and halves the initiative of his target unit(s).

Foetearer: A Punisher of unimaginable length, this halberd is

believed to be able to cut through anything. The Foetearer is a

two handed weapon which functions as a Witchblade, however

any successful roll to wound of a 6 will cause d6 models in the

target unit to take a Toughness Test if failed, the model will

take d3 wounds..

Agoniser Helm: Etched in the bone of this baleful helm are

runes of pain. For each wound Arhra takes in close combat, a

single model (Dark Eldar players choice) must take a Strength

test if failed, they will take the wound instead. If the test is

passed, Arhra will take the wound as normal.

WYCH LORD LELITH HESPERAX

Lelith enjoys battling without weaponry, but when required to

go to war she will bear the traditional Hunter weaponry the

Trident Malhandir and a great net woven from the hair of a

thousand murdered Eldar Virgins. While at first glance she

appears to wear no armour well, only enough armour to

protect the essentials this is not what it seems. Lelith is

shrouded at all times by a nigh-unbreachable force field which

makes a mockery of any attempts the foe makes to harm the

Wych Lord. The only time that a foe can hope to attack Lelith

directly is when she attacks, for she finds it incredibly amusing

to let her guard down before going in for the kill.

Surrounding Lelith at all times is an entire troop of Wyches

usually her pride pupils which have all been able to pass the

rigorous trials of the Wych Rings. Each of these specialises in

their own technique, in order to form a fighting unit which is

dreaded by any foe.

In Dark Eldar society, only the strong will survive. Nowhere is

this more apparent in the gladiator rings under Commoraghs

surface, where the Wych Rings lie. While commoners do their

daily depraved lives, here only one thing matters: the bout.

While Dark Eldar fear the Cabal of the Splintered Heart and

their leader, the infamous Lord Vect, here there is only one

authority which matters: Wych Lord Lelith. From her first fight,

Lelith has never been defeated in the Wych Rings, and from

the fame and glory gained on this field she slowly brought her

way out of the rings and into the management of the arenas.

Now she has the joy of training an entirely new generation of

fighters in the ways of the Wych those who enjoy the hunt

will train with the net, while the brawlers begin as Gladiators.

Lelith herself can perform both roles better than any other

warrior in the history of the Rings, and any upstarts are swiftly

slain by The Grand Attraction before they have a chance to

speak.

Unit Type:


Dark Eldar Eternal Warrior 3+ Invulnerable Save Hit and Run Infiltrate Preferred Enemy (All Enemies) Poisoned Attacks (3+)Gathering of Wyches: Where Lelith fights, thousands of

Wyches will also gather drawn like hounds to the slaughter.

An army which includes Lelith counts all Wych units such as

Jetbikes, Wych Hunters, and Wych Gladiators as Scoring

Units, and may take these units as Troop Choices, Fast Attack

Choices, or Elite Choices.

Nigh Impenetrable: Leliths defences are legendary for their

durability. Any foe with under half of Leliths initiative (rounded

down) must take an Initiative test in order to attack Lelith or

her unit if failed, they make no attacks at all that turn.

Malhandir the Doom Trident: This large trident can split rock

as well as flesh with mere swipes. This is a Power Weapon

which may be used as either a Power Weapon, Thunder

Hammer or Pair of Lightning Claws in any turn of close

combat.

Binding of Tears: This net is woven from the fine hair of a

thousand Eldar Virgins, killed in horrific battle. It counts as aClose Combat Weapon, which may ensnare a single enemy

model in base contact with Lelith. Each player rolls a dice and

adds their models Initiative value to the roll if Lelith beats

the opponents roll, then that model attacks with 1 attack this

turn, and is automatically hit by Dark Eldar attacks in this turn

of combat.

BLADEMASTER DRAZHAR

In the adverse conditions of the Academy, where students

were expected to learn from eachother rather than anyspecific tutor, moulded the young Drazhar into a cold blooded

killer, who does not hesitate to kill his comrades if they

attempt to upstage him to become the master of his troop.

Drazhar and his squad known as the Death Stalkers are

slaughterers for hire if you can find them and afford to pay

their vast fees, or otherwise tempt Blademaster Drazhar, then

they will fight to their deaths. Such is the loyalty or dread

that Drazhar inspires that the Stalkers would rather fall on

their own blades (better than to be shoved) than allow him to

fall in battle, making them a ferocious close combat unit in all

respects.

As he rips and tears his way across the battlefield, Drazhar

holds no regrets for any of his actions which occur along the

way. If anything, Drazhar fights ever the harder in the toughest

combat conditions.

Of all the Incubi a Dark Eldar Archon can field on the field, one

is feared more than any other the shadowy spirit known asDrazhar. His obsidian armour inspires fear in all beings, living

or dead, who face his whiring knives in battle.

The story of Drazhars rise from simple warrior to the first

amongst Incubi is forged upon the battlefield. Drazhar was not

born a Dark Eldar, but instead found in a daring raid upon the

Craftworld Saim-Hain during the Eldar Wars against their Dark

Kin. He was kidnapped by the marauding Dark Eldar who were

burning down the windswept surface of the craftworld, and

would have faced an eternity as a slave if it were not for his

choice to attack his captors in a murderous rage with the

hunting knife all Wild Riders to be are issued with. He gained

the respect of the Dark Eldar with this single act forged in

anger, and such was his luck that he was inducted then and

there into the despoiled Incubi Academies which can be found

in the dark corners of Commoragh

Unit Type:

InfantrySpecial Rules:

Incubi Special Rules Preferred Enemy (All) Relentless Poisoned Attacks (3+) Look Out, Sir! (see C: IG)Bodyguard: Drazhar is purchased as an upgrade for any DarkEldar Bodyguard, and costs the usual Incubi cost +100. Any

Bodyguard which includes Drazhar must contain Incubi ONLY.

For Hire: Drazhar and all models in the unit which he is joined

with will be Fearless, but ignore No Retreat. Instead, any

models which are wounded must take a Leadership Check if

failed, they take an additional armour save.

The Master is Dead! If Drazhar falls in close combat, the squad

he was joined with will immediately fall back at its end they

may not be cut down on the turn this occurs, and will regroup

immediately at the end of that game turn. All members of the

unit gain Furious Charge and Rage for the rest of the game.

Accursed Hunting Blades: Whenever Drazhar faces his home

Craftworld in battle, he takes the Hunting Blades of his

opponents these are melted down and inscribed with runes

of power. The Hunting Blades may be thrown in the Shooting

Phase in addition to other weapons, and count as Lightning

Claws. Both the shooting attacks made with the blades and the

claws in close combat will benefit from Drazhars PoisonedAttacks.

Manbane: This poison is concocted specifically to bring down

man-sized creatures. If Drazhar wounds, but does not kill, any

model in Close Combat with his normal attacks, the wounded

model will lose 1 from their BASIC Strength, Toughness, and

Weapon Skill characteristics.

THE GOLDEN GUARD

Years later, Urien was visited by a second image the image of

a million million frothing beasts, cutting down all who opposed

them. In the interests of achieving this he began the process of

cannabalising young upstart kabals which attempted to try

and usurp the higher ups. This started small small groups of

unfortunate warriors and incubi but later the figures caught

up. Urien was cast out of Commorragh after a great civil war

between his followers and Vects Black Heart Cabal.This

demolished entire districts of the Twilight City, forcing tens of

thousands of Dark Eldar to evacuate right into the ships

Urien was again requisitioning for personal use.

Nowadays, Urien continues to be a savage upstart among the

Dark Eldar. It is a brave soul who fights alongside the Master

Haemonculus, for in his many visions he sees many

monstrosities, and none are beyond enhancement to fulfil

these bloody goals.

In times long past, Urien Rakarth was one of the pride

Bonesingers of a long dead Eldar world, and was blessed with

the ability to see forme in any structure whether stone,

wraithbone, or flesh. This time was of course before Slaanesh,

but Urien was damned to be the head of a pleasure cult

composed of the construction psykers of that world.

When the fall came, Urien was cursed by his former comrades

as he stole the worlds entire space fleet to bear himself and

his followers towards their unknown goals. To an Imperial dog

this would mean little, but the Eldar are psychic creatures and

all of these screaming voices forced a number of blood vesselsin Rakarths head to burst. As he sank to the ground, Urien lost

his Bonesinging abilities but was given a more fateful ability

Slaanesh had blessed what would become one of his

unknowing vassals with what would become known by many

names such as, in Low Gothic, Bloodbending, or the most

basic information of the standard Haemonculi Cult.

Unit Type:


Fearless Dark Eldar Eternal Warrior Relentless 5+ Invulnerable SaveArmy of the Damned: All units in an army including Urien

Rakarth must be joined by a Haemonculus (see Warp Beast

Hunting Packs or Grotesques). Of course, these are no normal

Haemonculi, but his sternest followers! Therefore these units

may ignore d3 unsaved wounds (excluding those which cause

instant death) suffered each turn (roll once at the beginning of

each game turn and apply that number for all units). Urien also

benefits from this, but gives any unit he joined the Feel No Pain

special rule as well.

Battlefield Surgery: Urien is so fascinated by his art that he will

not hesitate to perform operations on the field. Each time a

Prisoner Token is taken, you may choose to instead

immediately convert it into an Uber Grotesque or Warp Beast,which is immediately added to the unit that Urien is in or any

other unit with a Haemonculus within 12. In addition, for each

casualty Urien or the unit he has joined deals, you immediately

take a Prisoner Token specifically for this effect.

Surgical Tools: A full surgical interface assists any Master

Haemonculus. As well as being a Power Weapon, this also

allows Urien to re-roll any of his failed Feel No Pain attempts.

Uber Grotesque(s): Urien is accompanied by two of what he

calls Uber Grotesques. These are included in his cost, and are

Strength 5 instead of Strength 3. They are removed when Urien

is finally killed.

DECAPITATOR

When the Imperium needs a job doing, they send an Assassin.

When the Dark Eldar want a job doing, they send Decapitator.

A well known avatar of war among the Mandrakes, unlike

many of his kin, Decapitator is straight and brutally toward the

point with his victims he needs none of the trickery that the

rest of the Mandrakes use to trap and tear apart their prey. All

Decapitator needs is his blade, the Decapitator, which has no

peer despite many attempts to recreate its prodigious power.

There isnt much known about the one who would become

known as Decapitator he grew up in the slums of

Commorragh, and ascended the ranks by killing anyone who

passed him. That is what he does. Nothing more, nothing less.

Unit Type:

InfantrySpecial Rules:

Mandrake RulesHidden: While Decapitator may use the normal deployment

rules of the Mandrakes, he may also choose to be direct and

simply place d3 tokens of his own to deploy in. These will moveas Jump Packs, may run, and must remain within 12 of his

Target (see below). On the turn that Decapitator becomes

available in Reserve, choose one of these tokens to become

Decapitator and his unit of Mandrakes. The squad may charge

on the turn that they arrive.

Target, Sir? At the beginning of the game, secretly record a

character that will be Decapitators target. Decapitator will re-

roll all failed rolls to hit and wound (in shooting and combat)

against the target, and doubles his attacks against them. If

Decapitator successfully kills a target, record this you must

reveal it at the end of the game, and gain +1 Kill Point and/or

+1 Objective (outside of Apocalypse) due to this. After a target

is killed, secretly roll with a neutral observer a single d6. On a

4+, a new broadcast has been received by Decapitator and

another target has been assigned. This could potentially cause

limitless targets for Decapitator.

Decapitators Initiative: Decapitator will always have an

Initiative equal to the majority Initiative of his targeted model

+1.

Decapitator: This large serrated blade tears apart everything

with ease. It is a Two Handed Power Weapon which doubles

Decapitators strength, and forces all successful Invulnerable

Saves to be re-rolled. Items equipped by an opponent which

give them an Invulnerable Save will also be destroyed on a 2+

when Decapitator successfully wounds a target.

Shadow Skin: While Decapitator is out of combat, he has a 3+

Invulnerable Save. In addition, while Decapitator is in or within

3 of a piece of terrain, all successful rolls to hit against

Decapitator or his squad must be re-rolled.

Night Senses: Decapitator may target individual models in an

enemy unit doing Close Combat as if they were Independent

Characters.

SLAVEMASTER RIKAN

Under these lairs, lies an entire society of Haemonculi, as well

as the Kabal known as the Kabal of the Dying Soul. There is no

strife here a surprising change to normal Dark Eldar society

but at the same time this is likely due to the grand slave trade

here. Chorroro is known as the slave capital of the galaxy for a

reason it has many pioneer schemes, including a number of

more explicit ones which only increase the slave output. When

a Haemonculus needs a good strong subject, they are likely to

find one on this world.

The nearest the Imperium has come to destroying the world of

Chorroro Victis was their attack near the end of M40 a vast

fleet was sent forth in order to stop the trade, but their

millions of soldiers from dozens of Regiments were instead

ambushed and attacked themselves by hopeful Overlord

Kabals sent from countless sources in te hope of currying

favour with the world. This very attack only bolstered the

slave trade, nigh quadrupling the threat the world still

presents. Much laughing was had by Rikan for that day.

First among Uriens apprentices is Rikan known as the

Slavemaster to his fellows. Rikan is a fairly amateur member of

the Bloodbenders, but his true power shows in his command

over the subjects used in the process itself.While others are

content to rebuild their subjects after breaking them or

receiving them, only Rikan is content to allow them to try to

escape all the better to test their abilities to find the perfect

host.

Rikan is the one who holds the keys to the fields of Chorroro

Victis a world much like Mordia in half light and half shadow.

However, this is also one of the few worlds in the Western

Fringe of the universe which both bears a Warp Rift and a

large number of hopeful privateers. This gives a large slave

supply, as well as perfect breeding conditions for Warp Beasts,

which are simply normal animals mutated by the warps

baleful presence on the planet. Its peaks house the lair of he

and his own followers, who attempt to carve themselves some

influence in the harsh courts of Rakarth and his apprentice.

THE AVATAR OF KHAINE

The true terror of the Golden Vessel is certainly not in its

conduit, but in that it is the way in which the disembodied

fragments of the Eldar god Kaela Mensha Khaine come into

existence. Unlike the Avatars evident on the Craftworlds or

Exodite Worlds, nearly all of the Dark Eldar Avatars are

destroyed long dead after ten thousand years of war in the

Bloody Handed Gods name. This makes the bringing of one of

the ancient soldiers to the field of battle incredibly difficult,

evidently.

So on the eve of any battle, a thousand honourless cretins

who ran away in battle are sacrificed on a vast pyre in the

depths of each Dark Eldar craft. Though their powers in life

were abysmal at best, in death they help summon the greatest

The approach of a Comet in the sky was once seen by Feral

Worlds as a gesture of good luck on the battlefield or goodfortune in the next month, but this changed a long time ago

when the grand fleet of the Golden King Salarr was spotted.

The glittering comets on a long forgottenight in M41 began

the latest Dark Eldar raids on a number of Sectors near the Eye

of Terror, where the Golden King s pirate force laid siege to a

hundred worlds, all for the glory of plunder and riches.

The object most commonly used to announce the arrival of

one of the Kings raiding forces is called a Golden Vessel of

Khaine by the Imperium this of course reflects the hues

inherent upon its burnished surface. It is likely to be one of themost important facets of a raid, for built inside every vessel is

a giant Webway conduit, which allows for the opening of a

localised warp rift whenever Salarr or his Archons desire it.

(All) special rule.

Wargear:

The Wailing Doom, Terrorfex, Totem of Pain, Shadow Field(during Turn 1 and 2, Affects Vessel as well)

The Wailing Doom: This is the grand weapon of the Avatar, and

none may touch it excepting he. The Wailing Doom attacks as if

it has the Melta special rule in close combat (giving it a +1

modifier on the Vehicle Damage charts and +d6 Armour

Penetration), as well as having the ability to be thrown.

Throwing the Wailing Doom uses the Dark Lance weapon stats.

The Wailing Doom returns to the bearers hands after it is

thrown.

Molten Body of Khaine: Incandescant fires shroud the Avatar

from harm. The Avatar is immune to the effects of ALL Flame

Based weaponry, including weapons with the Melta special

rule, and Template weapons. There are no exceptions to this

special rule for example, Flamestorm Cannons affect the

Avatar, as does Wind of Chaos and other variants. For purposes

of simplicity, Daemonic Fire from C: CD DOES work.

Bloody Handed Rage: While not Wargear per-se, the wrath of

Khaine is well known in Eldar society.Once per game, when

Khaine has 2 or less wounds remaining - make a Leadership

Test. If successful, all Force Weapons and Psychic Powers

including Warlock powers, Warp Fields, and other such effects

as Synapse are negated within 18 of the Avatar for this game

turn. If the Avatar of Khaine is slain before this effect takes

place, it activates at the beginning of the next game turnautomatically and affects all of the above effects on the board

instead.
