Editing Dark Eldar Combat Weapons (section)

==Engine Weaponry==
The Talos Pain Engines and Cronos Parasite Engines are amongst the most twisted creations of the Dark Eldar. While dangerous enough at range, their most lethal and insidious weapons are used at at close range.

===Chain-Flails===

[[Pretend|Despite the name, they have in no relation to actual]] [[Chainsword|Chain Weapons]].

Fitted onto the Talos, the Chain-Flails are meant to improve the thing's natural reaction to nearby prey (swat at it until it dies) with a series of barbed chains. Simple, but effective and gruesome.

In terms of function and mechanics, a Chain-flail consists of lengths of barbed chain wound tight under gravitic pressure. As a Talos glides into battle, these chains are loosed, hurtling from their housings to lash around wildly. As their barbs find purchase in flesh, the chains' grav-winches re-engage, reeling in at lightning speed to snap bones and tear bodies asunder.

In 8th Edition, Chain-Flails are weapons that can re-rolls to Wound and make 2 hit rolls for each attack allocated to this weapon. Nice if you want your Talos to do some heavy horde duty cleanup.

===Macro-Scalpel===

One of the primary weapons of the Talos Pain Engine.

Exactly as its name implies. The Macro-Scalpel is a giant monomolecular blade designed to cut open the toughest armor with relative ease. With the strength of the Pain Engine, the Scalpel can rip apart even vehicle armor with contemptuous irrelevancy. For maximum carnage, a Talos can be equipped with two of these murder machines before set loose and raise literal bloody hell on the battlefield.

It is a AP-1 and Damage 2 weapon on tabletop. Also, if you have 2, you make one additional attack with it Cheap and effective. Come stock on the Talos and is overall still a pretty decent weapon.

===Ichor Injector===

This device injects an unfortunate victim with the Talos' own blood, potentially causing it to [[grimdark|explode in a spectacularly gory fashion]]. They are in affect, similiar to the Flesh Gauntlet but just on a bigger scale.

In 8th Edition, Ichor Injectors are interesting as only one attack can be made with this weapon. Strength User (so either 6 for the Talos or 3 for Urien) and re-rolls to Wound. If you roll a 6+ To Wound, you deal D3 mortal wounds in addition to the normal damage, which can potentially kill 4 models in one strike but don't bet on that happening with only one attack.

You can take this in addition to your other melee weapon in the codex and it gained AP-1 but it's still not worth the overall cost.

===Spirit Probe===

The <s>[[Anal circumference|Anal Probe]]</s> Spirit Probe is a type of soul-draining weapon used by Dark Eldar [[Cronos Parasite Engine|Cronos Parasite Engines]] [[Meme|that gives you the succ.]]

A metal tube injected into victims, like a giant mosquito, it drains the life force directly out of them and spews it onto nearby Dark Eldar, invigorating them with the [[Wat|agony the Cronos caused.]] These life force is then used as fuel for the Cronos' other [[Pain Weapons]] such as the [[Spirit Vortex]] as well as fuel for the Cronos' Spirit Syphon ability which can field of baleful energy that allows it to feed upon those nearby.

The function on how it succs the life force of its victims is unknown.

There is currently no rules for the Spirit Probe unfortunately despite the cool fluff. Although in 7th Edition, the weapons of the Cronos (Including the Spirit Probe) and the bad boy itself got slapped around in the codex, it's more expensive base, the Spirit Syphon was nerfed to S3 and you are no longer allowed to take both the Probe and the Vortex. Just like the Talos in the same edition.

[[Tl;dr]], the Spirit Probe makes the Cronos into a giant mosquito that succ souls like blood and it looks like the shape of a fluted and crystalline device being hung underside the Cronos' headpiece/mouthpiece/mask thingy.

===Spirit-Leech Tentacles===

It is not surprising that the Dark Eldar too would participate in hardcore [[Rape|Tentacle Rape]]. [[Meme|Now with a more noodly appendage]] [[Rape|and twice the fun.]] The Leech Tentacles are the primary weapons of the Cronos and they are use to slap around fools and [[/d/|'penetrate' any hoe that gets in its way.]]

Spirit-Leech Tentacles should work in the same way as the Spirit Probe, in that it should succ the life force of any unfortunate victims in its path of destruction. How it does it is unknown however as there is no visible mechanism on soul succing.

On tabletop, the Tentacles are S:User, AP-1, 1 DMG that does D3 damage on a wound roll of 6+. Pretty decent against GEQs and MEQs alike.
