"It seemed there was but one way of escaping Her and that was to flee their homes and leave the physical world

behind forever. We came here, into the realm between worlds that we created to traverse the galaxy safe from

harm. Here, the Great Enemy's grip is weakened, yet to our Lord's horror it was not wholly broken. He had

bought his people time, a little instant of time but nothing more. Others followed him, each choosing a place for

themselves, building new shrines and around them great palaces. Here, where you sit now, is one of the cham-

bers of the original Temple of the Black Heart. You are very privileged, you know. Not many survive to get this

far. Most of them break before they even reach the second level."

Asdrubael Vect, Lord of the Kabal of the Black Heart

Commorragh is the city-state b elonging to the Dark

Eldar race. It is said to be impossible for outsiders to

find, and anarchy and terrorism a re a well-established

way of life for its debased inhabitants. It is widely be-

lieved to be hidden deep within an inter-dimensional

labyrinth known as the Webway, described by the Eldar

as a "dark stain" growing within their holy pathways. It is

a city known to have "wandering shadows that tear

apart the unwary" and is bathed in a crimson half-light.

THE LOST

The Dark Eldar are utterly, irrevocably evil and corrupt in

every sense. Not only do they enjoy the infliction of pain

and suffering more than anything else, they also take

gratification from the callous manipulation of the weaker

beings they prey upon. When these twisted creatures

emerge into the galaxy from their twilight realm of Com-

moragh, it is as piratical raiders, striking swiftly and with-

out warning from their arrow-quick craft. A Dark Eldar raid

is a horrific sight, merciless aliens slaughtering the major-

ity of those they encounter and carrying the enslaved survi-

vors back to their nightmarish domain.

The Dark Eldar delight in toying with their enemies, the

full measure of their alien intellect is given to the pleas-

ure of playing upon their prey's fears. Their warrior sects

strike swiftly and without warning, screaming into the

enemy lines on baroque skiffs before leaping into their

ranks so they may experience the joy of slaughter first-

hand. Sprays of arterial blood and spasming corpses

mark their passage, the deranged and cruel laughter of

these murderous aliens ringing in their dying victims'

ears as they search for new playthings.

To these depraved individuals, the sweet fruit of terror is as

pleasing as the caress of a razor-sharp blade across soft

flesh. They delight in breaking the bodies and souls of their

captives, their tortures an art refined over long millennia.

They revel in every nuance of anguish and woe until their

captives are gibbering wrecks pleading for an end to their

miserable existence - a mercy the Dark Eldar will never

grant.

In this Apocryphal Text we study the basic members of a

Dark Eldar raiding party, from the agile and cruel warriors

that fill the ranks of the blood frenzied hordes to the wy-

ches and leaders who champion the cause of pain, suffer-

ing and slavery to the beasts that are created and enslaved

by these twisted cousins of the noble Eldar. This text also

lists a armoury of these foul pirates and raiders, including

their common vehicles, weapons, drugs and exotic items.

warrior while moving. Splinter cannons are a general

weapon against armies that rely on numbers rather

than armor.

Dark Lance - This is the Dark Eldar equivalent to the

lascannon, as it is designed to destroy armoured units.

It employs the use of 'Dark Matter' to cause armoured

units to violently explode regardless of the armour or

totally vaporising a single unit. The main cannon in a

Dark Eldar army against enemy vehicles.

Dark Eldar weaponry is made from light weight materi-

als that are unknown to the Imperium. Dark Eldar have

a very small choice of long range weaponry, but can be

extremely deadly if designated at the correct foes.

Disintegrator - Similar to the dark lance, but designed

to destroy infantry units. This weapon can be fired in

two different ways - one large blast of 'dark matter'

that explodes like a plasma cannon, or several smaller

blasts which can decimate well-armoured enemy

troops. Both shots carry a fantastic AP value but don't

damage the vehicle like lesser plasma weapons would.

Combat Blades – Can be added to Splinter Pistols and

Splinter Rifles and cause these weapons to be treated

as Mono-Spears in melee combat.

Destructor – A specialised Dark Eldar weapon that fires

a high pressured stream of acid, poisons and toxins

that can eat through armour.

Poisoned Blades - A pair of blades with vicious poisons

that will quickly kill any being that is cut by it.

Agoniser - A weapon that directly affects the enemies

nervous system, causing an incredible amount of pain.

A character armed with this weapon can hurt any crea-

ture.

Note that because the Dark Eldar revel in the torture

of other people, most of their weapons don't actually

kill the opponent. Instead, they cause him/her such

immense amounts of pain that they are incapacitated

while still alive. This allows the Dark Eldar to "flavour"

their soul. After battle the opponents will be killed and

their souls consumed- the unlucky ones go back to

Commoragh as slaves.

Punisher - Similar in shape to a halberd but designed

to be able to slash through anything from a grunt to a

tank. Punishers are typically wielded by incubi.

Terrorfex Grenade - These special grenades contain a

nerve gas which the Dark Eldar have dubbed

"Terrorfex" this gas induces hallucinatory visions of

pain and suffering, these disturbing images are devas-

tating to the morale of the Dark Eldar's enemies, effec-

tively blinding the enemy. These grenades could be

compared to photon flash grenades and require a WP

test at –20 or suffer from Table 8-4 page 233 Dark Her-

esy Core rules.

Splinter Rifle - The standard weaponry of a Dark Eldar

warrior. The ammunition crystal is broken down and

propelled through the barrel at high speed, these

splinters are often mixed with toxins or other harmful

chemicals to cause immense pain to the enemy.

Splinter Pistol - A smaller version of the splinter rifle

with blades attached for use as a close combat

weapon as well as a gun.

Splinter Cannon - A highly efficient weapon for killing,

as the weapon not only has an automatic firing mecha-

nism but it also has no recoil. It can be fired by the

COMBAT DRUGS: One of the most dangerous as-

pects of facing Dark Eldar attackers is their tendency

to be hopped up on some form of combat drug of

one nature or another. These tend to give them en-

hanced reactions and strength as well as ferocity.

Treat any Dark Eldar on combat drugs as having the

Frenzy and Fearless Talents as well as having +5 WS.

In addition they may choose to have +5 S, T, and Ag

but suffer 1 Wound of damage for each one of these

additional bonuses taken.

Regardless, all Dark Eldar on combat drugs must take

a Toughness Test (at +10) or suffer –10 to Int, Fel ,

Per and WP while using the drugs. In addition if this

test comes up as doubles (11, 22, 55, 99) the user

suffers wound damage equal to the number that is

doubled (so a roll of 33 results in 3 wounds damage).

Combat drugs are usually used by Wyches and Ar-

chons, but may be present at any level among the

Dark Eldar warriors.

Any Dark Eldar with the Chem-Use skill can use this

skill and any associated modifiers for Talents in place

of their Toughness to resist the negative side effects

of Combat Drugs.

SHADOWSKIN: It is unsure if Shadowskin is a piece of

clothing known only to the Dark Eldar of if it is a mu-

tation found in some of its members who have been

overly exposed to the Webway. Regardless, any Dark

Eldar deemed by the GM to have Shadowskin is

known as a Mandrake and has his abilities modified

as follows: Ag +10, Silent Move +20, Acrobatics +20,

Climb +20. The Shadowskin also provides an AP of 1

and increases the wearer’s chance of surprising his

foes by 20 (i.e., netting a –20 on perception tests to

locate the Mandrake).

WYCH WEAPONS: Wych Weapons are special weap-

ons wielded by Dark Eldar Wyches. They are usually

small and wickedly designed, often built as paired

weapons. In the hands of a Wych (or anyone with

Melee Weapon Training (Wych Weapons) Talent)

they are especially dangerous and deadly weapons,

useful for defensive and offensive fighting.

POISON: Dark Eldar often coat their melee weapons

in poison. Any melee weapon can be considered to

have the Toxic weapon trait if the GM desires.

Dark Eldar Warriors

Archon/Dracon

Dark Eldar Warriors are the most often encountered

type of raider. They perform the hard work of the

raiding parties, piloting the vessels, fighting on the

front lines and risking their lives in direct confronta-

tion with their victims. While they can be as sneaky

and crafty as the other Eldar, their training is usually

geared toward front line fire fights and direct as-

saults. Their actions are usually covers for infiltration

and other subterfuge from the remainder of a raid-

ing party.

The Archons and Dracons of Commorragh l ead the

Kabals of the Dark Eldar into battle. The Archons are

fierce warriors who lead their Kabals ruthlessly,

claiming any and all spoils of battle.

" Dark Eldar thrive on domination and power, and

those who are vicious and ruthless enough will

quickly rise to positions of authority. The Dark Eldar

Lords lead their servants into battle in the search for

slaves and souls, leaving worlds in ruin with a verita-

ble mountain of dead heaped in their wake. "
