Synopsis:

From the depths of the Webway, the Dark Eldar emerge as a force of pure malevolence—pirates, slavers, and sadists who revel in the suffering of others. Unlike their noble Craftworld kin, these cruel denizens of Commorragh thrive on pain and debauchery, launching raids across the galaxy to satiate their insatiable hunger for torment.

This third edition codex was the first-ever faction book for the Dark Eldar, introducing their lore, hierarchy, and combat doctrine. It details the terrifying Kabalite warlords, Wyches, and Haemonculi, along with their lethal weapons and lightning-fast skimmers. Whether for historical Warhammer collectors or players seeking to understand the origins of the Dark Eldar, this codex is an essential piece of Warhammer 40,000 history.

• Unit Profiles: Detailed descriptions and battlefield roles for Archons, Warriors, Wyches, Ravagers, and Reaver Jetbikes.
• Weapons & Wargear: Overview of the faction’s splinter weaponry, poisoned blades, and dark arcane artifacts.
