Well after 4k points of Space Wolves, it was time for a new army.

Drukhari it is

I still have no clue how that's supposed to work with fast rolling, does he basically just die as soon as you roll a 1 if he's alone because one wound went through so every other dice above is failures until it hits the normal save?

Just a collection of all changes from the dataslate for your convenience.

Points:

• Venom 65p (-5) for 1st to 3rd
• Venom 75p (+5) for 4th to 6th
• Raider 75p (-10) for 1st to 3rd
• Raidet 85p for 4th to 6th
• Ravager 110p (+10)

Dispositions:

• Covenite Coterie is Take & Hold
• Exhibition of Slaughter is Recon
• Kabalite Arconysts is Disruption

Rules Updates:

• Shadow Field blocks Rerolls for the Archon's unit, but only fails if the Archon takes non-mortal damage
• Postmortality (Covenite Coterie) now revives the Haemonculus as a seperate unit with unit size 1

Harlequin got cheaper as well, not sure if that matters to us now that Kab Cartel can play Recon and Spectacle is out of Purge jail. Disruption got buffed as well via new map layouts vs Purge and Recon. Shadowfield now works in sync with the Hand's damage reduction ability.

I’m currently looking to get into a new army and I’ve been eyeing Drukhari, I love the models. I’ve only ever really played death guard and don’t enjoy the play style over time, I would love some advice on the army/ play style, I’m looking to get a 1k army for now and what would be a good starting point ?

Hey all. Fairly new to collection drukhari, so I don’t have any extra bits. I noticed that I am missing a hand of archon model from my kill team. I do have the aeldari free mini of the month and some extra 25mm bases. Would this be allowed or should I consider just buying like a kabalite team and call it a day?

Very quick pointer, the points have changed, but warorgan hasn't updated yet, so the list results as being 15 points too much.

Had 3 games with the previous version of this list (2 less wracks) and got a 94 to 91 and a 100 to 83 defeats and a 91 to 90 win running with priority assets as my disposition, now I also have acesss to recon so life is good, I wonder which of the two would fit it bettee

Some Drukhari points drops, Purge lost on 1dp detachments, and some clarifications.

WarCom has now released the slates: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/downloads/warhammer-40000/

So Warhammer Academy launched today and after digging in a little bit I noticed that for their content icons for Drukhari they are using the Dark Kin rune, I thought this was a super cool callback but also, could this mean anything for the faction as a whole? Probably not but it's fun to think about

Hi! I'm an amateur painter, slowly working to improve my skills. My goal is to move from tabletop-quality painting to something between tabletop and display level, ideally leaning more toward the display side.

I'd love to hear your feedback. Please don't hesitate to critique my work - I genuinely appreciate constructive criticism.

The base isn't finished yet; in fact, it's mostly a test of the color scheme. But if you have any suggestions for it as well, I'd be happy to hear them.

So, I used to main Drukhari quite a bit before the codex droped (quite some time now), but had to take a break from the actual tabletop of the hobby since, while keeping an eye on the talking. Now, I remember pain token from a scarcity mindset, the kind that made or broke the army on the field, and with units like mandrakes getting their old ability behind painwall, I kept fearing to run on half juice half a game.

Yet, I see nothing about it, with Haemonculus still ranked very low despite his generation ability, so I suspect it is no longer the issue it was.

Is the pain flowing enough even outside of RSR to keep wheel turnings, even in early games? Is the cheap as always cronos still mandatory?

With the Q&A from the Tacoma open saying abilities without visual and measuring fail. Kabalites sticky in a venom have neither of those. Can we now sticky from inside a venom?

Just wanted to update after asking for C+C on this sub and others.

I'm much happier with the contrast and the face on this model now. So thank you to all those who provided feedback!

I learned a lot through this process.

Some parts on the skin would definitely benefit from a little glazing to blend and the paints probably were a bit too thick for layering, but I'm happy overall.

Cheers everyone and thanks again!

So in the downtime whilst my friends aren't at uni, I've been playing a bunch of tts, which means I've been able to run every stupid thing I can think of.

Mostly inspired by the Horatio in endless space (clones of a singular Horatio who's convinced he's the most beautiful thing in the universe, and thus the universe must be filled with him)

I've been running druhkari horde, variations on druhkari horde, and plans for more druhkari horde.

60 kabalites, 60 succubi, 60 wracks and an archon? It slapped

60 kabalites, 60 succubi, 30 HotA, a mix of incubi and mandrakes? Went hard.

Heroes do not exist. Vehicles do not exist. There is only the clonetide

It's got me looking at the cheap 90s kabalite models with a hunger in my eyes. I am become Dark Eldar Yarrick.

What is the silliest horde combination for deldar we can think to run next?

Late last year I finished my 3rd Ed Dark Eldar Battle Force box (was sitting for over 20 years), a nice few months I’ve been working towards bringing it up to 2000 points and modernizing everything for 10th/11th Ed. I finally found a reasonably priced old Hellion to match my other 3. I’m also working a single new model to be the Helliarch for the squad. Thought I’d share a photo before I break open and smell the 1990s air.

I will say, as I’m working on doing newer model, I like the old sculpts’ design better. The quality of the newer models are definitely better, anything’s better than pewter, but I wish we had gotten a more modernized version of this old one. I particularly like the chest armor, and the more wild hair. The new ones aren’t bad, it just feels like I’m painting “just another wych”. Also like the size of the old skyboards better.

So I’ve been tweaking my list, getting in another unit of scourges and it’s shaken down to having a single unit of reavers and a single unit of mandrakes. My question is having one of each fine, I’ve seen it a lot, but I’m just so used to having two squads of mandrakes. The bikes are a nice little extra. Am I missing something

Anyone can help me figure this out, here is every unit i oen, trying to make sense of the best way to make a 2k list. It will be my first game

Was wondering if you guys had any list and paint advice. I finished my Tacoma open with a bit of a shopping spree for my next army, I'm looking to do a very bright red armor theme for Druhkari. I bought an archon, incubi box, scourges, and a void raven bomber. Was wondering if you guys could give me some insight into strong lists. I'm well aware that Dark Eldar are very hard to play and I can't be as scattershot with my army building as I was with my chaos marines.

Going through the codex and rules are there any units that are trash and not worth the points to field? Jet Bikes and venoms: yay or nay? I have Lady Malys as a priority to pick up, what about Lillith Hesperex and wyches? Raiders and ravagers: how many?

Also if any of you have any painting guide videos from youtube for color sets for Druhkari I'd love to see them. I'm in the planning phase for my color choices and could use some feed back.

Thanks a lot, here's hoping we get those recast Kaballites soon.
