The full fury of the Imperium of Man thundered from the crackling jade-coloured Webway portal directly above Archon Xelian's personal spire. So I resolved one day, while trying to dream up an new big project, that I would try to make a Dark Eldar/Drukhari themed Bastion as a place to bunker down a firepower unit and form an anchor for the rest of the my force. Regarding the sites listed, I have used GW, Statuesque miniatures, Green Stuff World and Dream Forge, all with positive experience. The true origins of those who now call themselves the Drukhari can be found in hidden enclaves amidst the atrocity and mayhem of the terrible time of the Fall of the Aeldari, the great cataclysm that nearly destroyed the entire Aeldari species. Such theories do not seem so far-fetched when one examines the Mandrakes' appearance. To the Drukhari, the sweet fruit of horror is as pleasing as the caress of a razored blade across soft flesh. There were also a few interesting potential places to add classic characters into the mix. The Aeldari are able to affect the nether-realm of the Immateriummuch more than most other intelligent peoples.

They sit at the apex of the Dark Eldar hierarchy that controls the Dark City and the Labyrinthine Realm of the Dark Eldar's portion of the Webway. Any who cross the Maw and sail the void of the Koronus Expanse learn to fear the wicked silhouettes of their voidships and their seemingly endless cruelty towards all life, including their own. To understand the reasons for the Fall, it is necessary to know something of the Aeldari mind and soul. Disclaimer, all of this is based on comments from reddit etc and not personal experience. Haemonculi specialise in body modification and flesh-sculpting and they love to work with a new "canvas" of flesh. Their wan, pale-skinned frames do not have a spare ounce of flesh upon them, and their waists are devoid of internal organs to better present what they view as a fashionably disturbing facade. The xenos of the Koronus Expanse and the Heretics of the Screaming Vortex have no such compunctions, however, and have found the Nexus to be a useful place to trade and congregate, a place far from the reach of the Imperium and utterly hostile to its agents. Commorragh grew ever larger and more impressive as it fed on their plundered resources. Speed is always of paramount importance to the Dark Eldar -- should even one Venom penetrate enemy air defences it can be enough to prove the doom of the opposition, as its lethal passengers do their bloody work. - WracksOld Grotesques (AOS) are really good as wracks. The Aeldari mind and psyche is a thing of duality: it can experience zeniths of bliss and nadirs of suffering far more keenly than that of the other intelligent starfaring races of the galaxy, including Mankind. Extraordinarily beautiful and possessed of an elegant but deadly grace, they are born to the fury of battle and stride through its chaos surrounded by coteries of their lethal Wyches who seek out worthy alien opponents for their mistresses to kill. Indeed, the Drukhari see themselves as the true inheritors of the ancient Aeldari Empire, and look down upon everyone else as cowards or dim-witted prey. The seeds of the Imperial invasion were sown in the region of the galaxy called the Desaderian Gulf. Their ebon skins writhe with blasphemous runes and their faces shift and flow, one moment a featureless mask, the next parting to reveal a maw filled with sharpened teeth. Can never fire Overwatch while enemy units are in Engagement Range. Fiercely intelligent and devious to a fault, Drukhari revel in pain, feeding upon the suffering and anguish of others. The Drukhari are so focused on the agony of others that their lightweight bodysuits incorporate bladed plates not only for protection, but also to give them yet another weapon to use upon their prey. Much of it is hidden in shadow, recorded only in allegory and fable by those intelligent races whose worlds they have ravaged. They dwell in the strange realm known as the Webway, inhabiting Commorragh-- a cyclopean, interdimensional metropolis rightly feared as the "Dark City." He tore apart the Astra Militarum regiments garrisoning the planets of the Desaderian System, devastated their fortifications and disappeared with his living bounty into the depths of the Dark City, leaving nothing but utter ruin in his wake.

When they finally fall upon their terrified prey, they use not only the natural weapons of claw and fang, but also hideous, sickle-shaped blades similar to the surgical tools beloved of the Haemonculi. Commorrite society is founded upon opportunistic deception. They left the core worlds of the Aeldari Empire behind for the dubious safety of deep space, to the laughter and contempt of those who remained behind. As more and more Aeldari survivors from other sub-realms in the Webway began to arrive, they soon added their own regions to the new realm, slowly making it even larger and more heavily populated, until it became what it is today -- a vast domain, an infernal city of suffering and death. Though each of these transports is customised by the Kabal that owns it and is adorned with the severed body parts of past victims, all have certain basic features in common, including a repulsor keelblade manned by a talented steersman, Aethersails to harness the multidimensional shear energies that flow from the Webway portal from which they emerge, and a prow-mounted heavy weapon, usually a Dark Lance, to sow slaughter amongst the unexpecting enemy. Wyches with one too many scars have often found themselves facing unbeatable odds in an arena match simply for the crime of no longer being physically perfect enough for the jaded Dark Eldar crowd's taste. Vect could not strike directly at Yvraine and her Ynnari followers himself, however; to do so would be to actually acknowledge he considered them a threat to his rule. Because of the access it granted to the far-flung corners of realspace, this mighty metropolis was reckoned to be the most important location in the entire Webway.

A Space Marine captain was a great prize indeed, for such an individual could withstand extreme and prolonged mental and physical torture before divulging his vital secrets about Imperial defence. Solid I'll have to check them out. The Drukhari are the living embodiments of all that is wanton and cruel in the Aeldari character. The Succubi are the true celebrities in the gladiatorial arenas of the Dark City, and when they are in the heat of combat they enjoy a jealous envy from their peers that is as close as the Dark Eldar can ever get to veneration or admiration of another being. These vain and mortally-competitive riders engage in death races each night, their Jetbikes screaming around each arena in a high-stakes battle that brings screams of ecstacy from the bloodthirsty crowd of spectators.

The Cult of Strife are taught to give no respite as they close for the kill, darting forward in fleeting bounds that afford no time for an enemy to draw their weapons or gather their wits. You may also notice a few staples in the inner hull, which helped pin the wing joints into place, and the plasticard rods now being applied to the upper hull to make its patterned design macth the under side. Their origins lie in the tumultuous times that preceded the Fall; as the cults of excess began to thrive, their private realms in the Webway flourished unseen until the largest of their number grew powerful enough to threaten Commorragh itself. However, suspended at some point between the Screaming Vortex, the Koronus Expanse, and the Webway is an island of relative stability where numerous groups of Drukhari have formed a twisted haven. The pilot had to be moved to the front, because I just think thats a better place for him and a small contorl rod, and the three gunners are collected in the side platforms with Scourge arms used to weapons. Miraculously, each missile triggered a chain reaction of explosions, and the burning spars crashed down into the streets below. Amongst the Drukhari, only the most devious and ruthless survive for long and any alliance or coalition that forms does so only either out of greed or fear of its individual participants' rivals. Repentance and atonement were meaningless concepts for a people that no longer acknowledged any limits on their actions, regardless of the consequences. Everything I know about websites on where to get 3rd party models, tips and tricks on conversions, alternative models etc regarding the true kin. The Drukhari never venture anywhere without a plethora of blades about their person. For this reason a Dark Eldar who has nothing to lose will willingly give himself up to the Haemonucli's mad artistry, emerging from his foul metamorphosis as something far more frightening than before, a creature known as a Wrack among the Dark Eldar of Commorragh. Warhammer 40k Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. The Incubi focus not on artistry but on the pragmatic method of killing their opponent as efficiently and quickly as possible.

Yet, though each Succubus is a beauty to the eye, their hearts are cold, cruel and dispassionate and a psyker who observed a Succubus with his Witch-Sight would likely see only a grey and shrivelled hag rather than a lush temptress of the arena. The entire Astartes fleet then passed through the still-yawning Webway portal above High Commorragh and escaped triumphantly into realspace. Hes an old school aristocrat. These were built using strong wire thread through a collection of spiky beads in tended for neckalces or something like that.

How to get good looking plastic rangers or what are the best conversion for shining spears? Thats where I found their Hellknight Signifier and thought My, this looks nice. Instead, Ravagers are so nimble that they can ambush an enemy tank and destroy it in a single devastating pass, disappearing again before the foe knows what hit them. Spearheads of grav-craft slid through the greenlit gloom around the spire, staying low amidst the lambent fog so that their sails cut through the fume like the fins of oceanic predators. The Vortex is home to teeming hordes of daemon-worshippers and mutants, living and dying at the whims of warlords and sorcerers intent on murder and subjugation in the name of their dark gods. Being an Aristocratic family dynasty, it made sense to me to make the next in line. Squads of Wyches in combat also often use Plasma Grenades and Haywire Grenades for crowd control purposes and every Wych is armoured in her Wychsuit. Though it fulfils a similar role to the main battle tanks of other races, the Ravager carries little armour. The kill strike was parried at the last moment by the Phoenix Lord Jain Zar herself. Im not sure. The two guns are custom made, with handles from Corsair sword, and the rest of the bulk and barrels just plasticard rods. Ill add as a final addendum these two Chronos Engines, who I used to use to fill out a pair of Dark Artisan Formations (one Talos, one Chronos, one Haemonculus, a LOT of pain). The fate of those caught within the death-grip of a Talos does not end with death. Within the gilded corridors and flesh-pits of the myriad sub-realms frolic those Aeldari who engineered the fall of their own species, laughing still at the warnings of their sombre craftworld cousins. Then came Marquis Vulkhere himself; whilst his foes were focused on the threat pushing up from below he and his handpicked Trueborn bodyguard had blasted their way into the spire's upper chambers, slain Archon Leshh of the Poisoned Hope, and now fell upon the Ynnari from behind. As a result of this, and for the sheer thrill of it, Hellions often take combat drugs that enhance their reaction speeds still further so that they can flip and jink like madmen, their reflexes now as sharp as their perfectly filed teeth. Masked and physically altered to better instill terror into those they encounter, the Wracks act as the hands of the Haemonculi in the outside world and during combat they defend their masters with their lives. The Harlequins embody an ancient secret that has haunted the Eldar since the Fall, for they alone know the secret of how to deny Slaanesh's claim upon their souls without resorting to the use of the Eldar Paths, Spirit Stones, or the Dark Eldar's Thirst for pain and agony. The running battle that followed saw Asuryani, Ynnari and Drukhari clash in a series of engagements that took them to the ancient ruins of the Aeldari Empire and beyond.

Others hold that the living shadows are descended from a forbidden pleasure cult that found its own way to escape the devastation of the Fall, fleeing into a nightmare dimension of shadow within the Immaterium and reemerging as something no longer quite natural. The need for labour or hard work in Aeldari society became nothing but a dim memory of a difficult past. Instead, these skimmers are more like the gliding anti-gravity pleasure yachts once common on the homeworlds of the ancient Eldar empire, modified to enhance their speed and fitted with blade-sharp fins and jagged keels to slice apart any foes. The Aeldari hate and fear Slaanesh above all other things, for she was given life by their actions and yet she waits hungrily to claim each and every one of them, now or later. I worked at GW in the 80s/90/s. The warrior Kabals strike swiftly and without warning from portals opened within the Labyrinth Dimension of the Webway, only to disappear like ghosts when enemy resistance becomes too severe.

In the years that followed, Vect played politics like a true Machiavellian master of intrigue, forever asserting the meritocracy of the Kabals over the ancient aristocracy of the Aeldari noble houses. Hekatarii wield a variety of outlandish weapons that can whip out, extend, enmesh, retract, split in two, or snap an opponents blade with the twist of a supple wrist. Before long the streets of Aeldari cities ran with their blood. By following Yvraine to the sacred debating fires of Craftworld Saim-Hann and striking from a hidden Webway portal, Drazhar got his blade a hand's breadth from the high priestess' neck. Most Wracks hope to one day join the ranks of the Haemonculi and will endure any degradation at their master's hands in the hope that they, too, may one day ascend into the ranks of the lords of their particular coven.
