Editing Mandrake (section)

== On tabletop ==

<!---rules anyone?--->

Unfortunately, despite their superpowers in fluff and badass models, on the tabletop Mandrakes were notorious as one of the [[Fail|'''''WORST''''']] infiltrators of the game, and stood alongside the [[Pyrovore]] as one of the worst units in the game, period. In an army so reliant on hit and run tactics, Mandrakes literally had one job, and it was the one job they couldn't do, but the models looked awesome and it became something of a running joke with Dark Eldar players as to what their Mandrake models [[Counts As|counted as]].

Then came 7th Edition, which did much to alleviate their uselessness by giving them much needed staying power and a ranged attack, making them actually pretty points-effective backline objective campers, and no longer made it necessary to play them as Harlequins in order to merely get them onto the table.

Then 8th Edition happened and they became badasses in their own right, so there goes that meme for good. Maybe saving Commorragh and kicking all the invading daemons out gave them a confidence boost?
