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

====Detachments and CP====
*'''Detachments and You''': The Dark El-- I mean Drukhari's Raiding Party rule gives them an interesting army-listing consideration that other factions don't have. Usually a Patrol detachment is only useful for low point games or Tyranids using them for allying with Guards using Genestealer Cults; our edgy knife-ears, however, can gain Command Points if they have 3 or 6 Patrols (+4 or +8, respectively), although the latter will virtually never happen if you're following the rulebook's suggestion detachment limit based on points limit. The difference between using a Battalion + 'specialist' and multiple Patrols is that while you may not have as many Elites slots available, you'll have more varied Obsessions to use, which isn't something you want to ignore considering how powerful they are if you use Patrols. Read the Raiding Force section above for other considerations, but overall taking an MSU approach to your Patrol detachments (i.e. a bare bones HQ and one MSU troop per patrol) can give you a disproportionately high amount of CP relative to the points cost of using them.
