Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Dark Eldar (section)

==Weapon Delivery==
*'''Splinter Weapons''': The most common and easily spammable type of weapon in the army, given that most things with guns carry these as standard.  Everything is  Strength 1, Ap5, Poisoned(4+).
** '''Shardcarbine''': Sslyths and Scourges only.  Assault 3, 18 inch range.  Decent, but if you're taking Scourges, it's probably for their bulk access to heavy weapons.
** '''Splinter Cannon''' Salvo 4/6, 36 inch range.
***'''Kabalite Warriors''' can take one for every ten in order to bump up their volume of shots.  If you're bringing them in Raiders, grab Splinter Racks and the Cannon for 6 shots at 36", 15 shots at 24" and 24 shots at 12".  All twin linked.
***'''Kabalite Trueborn''' can take two in a squad.  Four cannons on a Venom could be interesting, but for that price you could have ''two'' Venoms.
***'''Scourges''' can take up to four in a squad, which is 10 points shy of two Venoms with the same number of Cannons.  And Scourges have a much smaller threat radius than Venoms.  Besides, Salvo Weapons on Jump Infantry just seems foolish.
***Each '''Talos''' can take a twin linked Splinter Cannon.  This certainly gives them a much larger threat radius and, happily, they can fire it to full effieciency.  But this is one of the most expensive ways to bring a Cannon and gives the unit less versatility against enemy Armour than it's other options.
***'''Razorwing Jetfighter'''s can upgrade their twin linked Splinter Rifles to a Cannon.  This is certainly a great way to spend an extra ten points, but it is also the absoloute most expensive way to field a Splinter Cannon.
***'''Venom''' ''the'' most cost effective and efficient way to field Splinter Cannons.
**'''Splinter Pistol''' 12" Pistol.  Pretty straightforward, most characters either carry them or can exchange their standard, non-character gun for one with no cost.
***'''Archon''' comes with one standard.
***'''Succubus''' comes with one standard.
***'''Lhamaen''' comes with one standard.
***'''Haemonculus''' comes with one standard.
***'''Kabalite Warriors''' Sybarite can exchange his Splinter Rifle for one at no cost.
***'''Kabalite Trueborn''' Dracon can exchange his Splinter Rifle for one at no cost.
***'''Wyches''' all carry one in their off-hand as standard.
***'''Hekatrix Bloodbrides''' all carry one in their off-hand as standard.
***'''Reaver Jetbikes''' tend to keep them in their holsters, but they come with them as standard.
***'''Hellions''' a Helliarch can exchange his Hellglaive for a Pistol and a different melee weapon at cost.
***'''Scourges''' a Solarite can either swap his Shardcarbine for free, or pay for a Splinter Pistol and another melee weapon.  Of note, he cannot take a melee weapon and keep the Shardcarbine.
**'''Splinter Pods''' Assault 2 at 18 inches.  Mounted exclusively on Skyboards.
***'''Beastmasters''' standard as a part of a Beastmaster Skyboard.
***'''Hellion''' everyone comes with them standard as part of their Skyboards.
**'''Splinter Rifles''' Rapid Fire, 24 inches.  The standard Dark Eldar Gun.
***'''Kabalite Warriors''' all carry one as standard.  Most effective in a transport.
***'''Kabalite Trueborn''' all carry one as standard, most should be exchanged for punchier guns.
***'''Reaver Jetbikes''' come with standard underslung Rifles, one in three can be exchanged for anti-tank guns.  Useful to have, but not the reason you would bring Reavers.
***'''Venom'''s come with an underslung twin-linked Rifle, usually (read: Always unless you're silly) replaced with a Splinter Cannon.
***'''Razorwing Jetfighter''' comes with a standard twin-linked Rifle.  Can be replaced with a Splinter Cannon, but not always worth the points.
