Dark Eldar 7th Edition

Dark Eldar Tactical Summary as of 10-26-16

Dark Eldar are comparatively a recent development for Warhammer 40k. Dark Eldar have traditionally filled the role of space pirate in the 40k universe, but it wasn’t until the 2010 that their backstory was really fleshed out and an amazing model line was released. Dark Eldar are a direct link to the Eldar before the Fall, surviving in the Webway from the clutches of Slaanesh.

As an army the Dark Eldar are known for speed, cardboard transports, and poison weapons. This has led them to be mostly a spoiler army and one which in long tournaments always ends up losing at some point. Dark Eldar crumble easily, unless they get a good alpha strike and lack the tricks normal Eldar possess. This Dark Eldar story has never changed since their inception, no matter the codex it is always the same. When asked about it Games Workshop says it won’t be changing it; this is the niche the Dark Eldar fill, even if it means you rarely see them as complete force on the battlefield.

The amount of detail on the Dark Eldar model line is exquisite; making them very time consuming to paint, hurting the Dark Eldar playability, worse still the best units are overpriced or in resin. Thanks to the Haemonculus Covens supplement the Dark Eldar have some good tools (Corpsethief Claw Formation), you just have to buy, tons of Talos or Grotesques.

The Dark Eldar do get some minor battlefield play as Eldar allies, just because of the Webway Portal Archons can get. The big problem for the Dark Eldar is the defensive deficiencies, iconic units like Wyches are just unplayable. Helions and Scourges have no good way to not die from a light breeze. Leaving you with cobbling together certain units like; Talos, Grotesques, Reavers, and Razorwing Fighters. This combination just doesn’t have the synergy necessary to be any good on the battlefield for a long enough time.

Below you find all the quick reference material you need to build an competitive or fluffy Dark Eldar army.
