Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Dark Eldar (section)

====Power from Pain====
Thanks to your army consisting of a bunch of sado-masochist freaks, you gain bonuses according to the turn number as long as you have a pure Drukhari army. Note that these bonuses are cumulative.
#'''Inured to Suffering''': 6++. ''Many'' units have special rules on their own datasheets that overlap with this, so this benefit is often wasted - e.g. Wyches. ''The old 6+++ was arguably better.''
#'''Eager to Flay''': You can charge after advancing. Most of your units were already speedy to begin with, and now they can get stuck in even faster. Some units already have only a blade and no guns, so it's a net benefit.
#'''Flensing Fury''': +1 to melee attack hit rolls. Units with the {{W40kKeyword|Vehicle}} or {{W40kKeyword|Monster}} keywords no longer take penalties for firing Heavy weapons at units engaged in melee with them. Combined with the very high WS most Dark Eldar units enjoy, this can make most of your army hit on 2+. It's amazing for Coven units, allows your Kabal units to defend themselves in melee, and frees up a drug choice for your Wych Cult units.
#*Your vehicles want to be in melee with their target, especially enemy non-Dread vehicles & common troops, as that prevents others from shooting at them. A Ravager in melee with another vehicle can fire its dark lances point blank while the enemy vehicle has to fall back to fend off the attack, which often disables it better than actually making it use their lower stat brackets: ''there are more "Shoot at full stats" stratagems than there are "fall back & shoot" stratagems affecting vehicles''.
#'''Mantle of Agony''': The invulnerable save is upgraded to 5++. Still not going to save you, but it's something.
#'''Emboldened by Bloodshed''': Automatically pass Morale tests, and models with statlines that degrade with damage count as having twice as many wounds for the purpose of determining their characteristics. 
#*Morale isn't a big deal for Dark Eldar given their high Leadership values, but the second effect can do wonders for an army that relies on transports. Or one with lots of {{W40Kkeyword|aircraft}}.
