Editing Scourges (section)

==Tabletop==
Scourges are versatile units that can easily shred lighter units with their default weapons, and can be deployed in smaller squads with Dark Lances or Splinter Cannons for troubleshooting vehicle, infantry, or independent character targets. As tempting as it may be to take dark lances, they should be ignored. Point being, take the heatlances or blasters for tankbusting (and their mobility and good accuracy does support this), but the short range of these weapons mean that you will be quite vulnerable. On the plus side, they've got excellent armor for Dark Eldar, with a 4+ armor save and 6+ Invulnerable save due to their Ghostplate armor and now have Trueborn-tier levels of options for weapons.

Just don't treat them like typical assault jump infantry. Scourges are absolute shit at close combat, like [[Tau]] [[Fire Warrior]] levels of bad, with no melee weapons (or pistols); upgrading one of them into a Solarite with Solarite weapons is the only way to make them at all viable for melee. Doing this is a surefire way of letting other Dark Eldar players shove a [[Voidraven Bomber]] up your ass.
