===Drukhari Blast Pistol===

''Not to be confused with the [[Derp|similarly named]] [[Blast Pistol]]. Or the ''other'' [[Phosphor Blast Pistol|blast pistol]]''

[[Awesome|A DARK MATTER LASER PISTOL!]] Try saying that out aloud.

A pocket-sized weapon whose size belies its enormous firepower: a single shot can destroy even the most well-armoured tank (consider it a Dark Eldar Desert Eagle). Available on everything, sometimes worth it (this writer shot failbaddon to death with ones only from hecatrixs).

As with most Dark Eldar technology, they use a rather exotic, extremely dangerous energy dubbed Darklight in their anti-vehicle weaponry. How they harvest this energy is beyond current understanding, as it is believed that the only sources of Darklight that are available in the Materium are from black holes, warp storms, and similarly hazardous celestial phenomena. If take the source of "dark light" literally, then they may be shooting condensed hawking radiation or anti-photons.

===Blaster===

A Blaster is a smaller, lightweight version of a Dark Lance, which includes a semi-liquid stabilizer like that found in the Dark Eldar Splinter Cannon. This allows for Warrior squads to launch volleys of this devastating energy while running, although the more compact build of the gun significantly shortens the maximum range of the device.

Being the size of a rifle and only slightly heavier, the Blaster can project its deadly beams over a considerable distance and deal serious damage to enemy vehicles more reliable than any Imperial weapon.

Just like its smaller brother, the Blast Pistol, the Blaster utilizes Darklight which can be summed up as Darkmatter channeled into a laser form.

===Heat Lance===

Heat Lances are Dark Eldar weapons used by Reavers and Scourges. It is a great technological breakthrough for Commorrites which can be noted further below.

By the power of Lance and Melta technology combined here is <strike>Captain Planet</strike> a meltagun with better range, less strength, and effin' LANCE. About any tank will blow up the second this looks at it in the face (or at least get glanced to death). Thus, it is one of the few weapons found in both the Melta and Las category pages. As a bonus they're cheaper than Dark Lances and are available to your jump troops: take four in a squad of Scourges to make heavies cry.

In a sense, a Heat Lance, instead of dispersing the obscene heat that most melta weapons should in order to cover as much as area as possible, the Heat Lance on the other hand, would actually focus the discharged superheated gas into a focus point like a laser; intensifying its armour penetration to puncture even the toughest of armour. As with every melta weapon, the Heat Lance has a short range but is extremely devastating.

===Dark Lance===
[[File:Dark_Lance.png|200px|right|thumb|Dark Lance]]
A large and heavy weapon, the Dark Lance is the Dark Eldar's primary anti-tank weapon for a reason: it can fire over a considerable distance and can cripple a tank with but a single burst of dark light.

Similar in construction to the Bright Lance of their Eldar cousin's forces, a Dark Lance is redesigned to allow for the use of Darklight ammunition. It's commonly found mounted on Raiders and Ravagers, although Kabalite Warriors are seen carrying them across the battlefield as well. The device uses magnetic containment and stabilization fields to prevent the Darklight from damaging the weapon or its user.

The Darklight is accelerated very rapidly down the barrel by these same containment fields. Upon making contact with its target, it reacts very violently, tearing through armor regardless of thickness or composition, and in the event of the Dark Lances use on infantry, it's incredibly rare that any sign of the unfortunate target is left whatsoever.

===Haywire Blaster===

More akin to a EMP Gun or the Dark Eldar's take on the [[Lasgun#Lightning Gun|Lightning Gun]]. Haywire Blasters are Dark Eldar weapons mainly used by [[Scourge|Scourges.]] These are long-barrelled weapons so lightweight that can be fired even when moving. As ammunition it uses crippling electromagnetic energy drawn from the highest aeries of Commorragh which is later released in a horrifying burst. A well-aimed haywire blast can destroy an enemy tank's control system in a single shot. Even the mighty Land Raider can be destroyed by these weapons.

Though not very impressive against infantry, the Haywire Blaster really shines against enemy armor: a single shot cripples the electronics in the vehicle and with luck will destroy it in a single shot. Fires the raw power of one of the Dark Eldar's stolen suns.

===Storm Vortex Projector===

No, despite the name, it does not create a giant tornado as [[Awesome|awesome]] as that sounds.

Available only on [[Reaper|Reapers,]] these are the the big brothers of Haywire blasters, and fire either a beam or an explosion of light. The Storm Vortex Projector have a much enlarged blast radius and could burrow deep within the fragile electronics of more primitive vehicles from lesser races. These electromagnetic wave cannons fire either a confined beam of force, or a blast which detonates on impact in a storm of energy.

Are capable of taking out up to four hull points in a single shot or insta-gibbing big nids or other MCs.

===Void Lance===
[[File:Void_Lance.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Void Lance]]
The Void Lance is a heavy Dark Eldar weapon usually equipped to [[Voidraven Bomber|Voidraven Bombers.]]

This weapon fires pulses of highly destructive eldritch energy harvested from shattered forgotten regions of the Webway. It is unknown what type of energy it is other than the fact that it sort of acts like a laser. May or may not be related to the [[Grenades_&_Explosives#Void_Mine|Void Mine]] which is another weapon carried by the Voidraven.

Tabletop wise, these are Lascannons with AP-4 but less range. Given you get two stock on a Voidraven and a Voidraven being a flyer means that it is fast, the range doesn't matter as you could just blast away. Voidraven exclusive.

===Dark Scythe===
[[File:Dark_Scythe.JPG|200px|right|thumb|Dark Scythe]]
A weapon with so little fluff that not even [[Lexicanum]] has mentioned it in their database.

Dark Scythes are one of the two primary weapons of the Voidraven. They replace the Void Lance as an alternative anti-tank weapon. Judging by its name, it is possibly an overly enlarged Blaster that fires dark matter lasers on a larger scale.

This speculation seems to fit on tabletop, as it is a D3 index blaster shots ([[Awesome|that is to say D3 damage]]). Pretty useful for sniping characters or taking out heavy infantry, but overshadowed by the buff blasters got.

[[Tl;dr]], not to be confused with the D-Scythe.
