Editing Warhammer 40,000/8th Edition Tactics/Dark Eldar (section)

==={{W40Kkeyword|Cult of the Cursed Blade}}===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
Your goth gym rat wyches.  They may not have the flash and finesse of some of the other cults but they know that the quickest way to a marines heart(s) is through a hail of bolter fire and 6" of ceramite, and they intend to get there.<br>
Do you need a unit that can soak 12 casualties on overwatch from a Leviathan without running away? These are your guys.  Excellent turn 2 deep strikers as their morale benefits make large blobs more viable, can be given Adrenalight for lots of S4 attacks or grave lotus for some S5 goodness.  A shardnet and impaler succubus with warlord trait and relic will tie down infantry and will make them take mortal wounds.<br>

'''Special Rules'''

*'''Obsession - Only the Strong Will Survive''': +1S and only 1 loss from failed morale tests. S4 base Wyches with near-immunity to morale tests that already got cheaper and 1 more attack? Niiice!
**Due to bladevanes having a set strength value of 4, Reavers gain do not benefit from the strength increase.
***Per the Rule Book FAQ, all models count as armed with a close combat weapon. So it can benefit if you choose not to use the bladevanes - that can be helpful against MEQ if you have the +1S drug.
'''Warlord Trait'''
*'''Treacherous Deceiver''': Each unmodified save roll of 6 made by the Warlord in the fight phase causes the attacker to take a mortal wound.
**Suicide Succubus anyone?
'''Relics '''
*'''Traitor's Embrace''': Succubus only. If the bearer is slain in the Fight phase, the unit that killed it takes d6 mortal wounds on a 2+.
'''Stratagems'''
*'''Concealed Boobytraps(1 CP):''' When an enemy charges a unit that is in terrain, roll a die. On a 4+ deal D3 damage.
