Editing Kabalite Warriors (section)

==Equipment==

The standard Kabalite Warrior is very lightly equipped, carrying only a [[Splinter Rifle]] for armament. Unfortunately for their foes, the [[Splinter Rifle]] is quite decent as far as basic weapons go, being a 24" range rapid fire weapon that always wounds living targets on a 4+. The squad's more experienced Warriors are also sometimes assigned powerful support weapons such as [[Splinter Cannon]]s, [[Dark Lance]]s, [[Shredder]]s and [[Blaster]]s. The Sybarite has a splinter rifle as standard, but also has access to a wide variety of other options including the [[Splinter Pistol]], [[Blast Pistol]], [[power sword]], [[Power weapon#Agoniser|agoniser]], and/or [[Phantasm Grenade Launcher]].

In terms of protection, Warriors benefit most from armor that allows speed and agility. [[Kabalite Armour|Thus their armor is a thin, light-weight flexible bodysuit, pressurized to allow Warriors to traverse the vacuum of space.]] Just like standard-issue Eldar suits this armor responds to neural impulses from the wearer and hardens when struck in combat, allowing for a reasonable level of resistance to basic attacks. The lightness and flexibility of this armor allows Warriors to fully utilize their superior speed and reflexes in combat. However, simply ''wearing'' armor is too tame for most Dark Eldar. Therefore the plates of their bodysuits are often fitted with barbs and hooks that dig into the user's skin. In typical Drukhari BDSM fashion, rather than being a painful distraction this actually sharpens and maximizes their senses. In some cases the armor is only staying on its wearer because putting it on requires the use the hooks on the inward-facing parts of the armor to pierce the skin.

More practical Warriors will sometimes make use of wraithbone components salvaged from Eldar aspect warrior and guardian armor, up to and including complete stolen suits. The Warriors seldom stick to a standardized uniform beyond a general color scheme and the symbol of whatever Kabal they choose to fight for, so many of them turn up with differently-stylized wargear. Some are scaled back with less plating, some feature different adornments, others may have more or less conventional armor designs, and so on.

Warriors have been significantly buffed in the 9th Edition Drukhari codex. Each Warrior now has 2 attacks and a 4+ armor save; the rest of their statline has remained the same.
