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

==Warlord Traits==
<tabs>
<tab name="Kabals">
*'''Ancient Evil''': During the fight phase, select one enemy unit within engagement range of the warlord. That unit fights last.
**Remember, you can Heroically Intervene when you get charged, then use this. Especially funny if they charged, say, a unit of 10 bloodbrides.
*'''Hatred Eternal''': Changed from Chapter Approved to reflect the Archon's new aura. Re-roll ALL failed to wound and hit rolls for the Warlord. Drazhar has this. 
**Deliciously sadistic if you use this on an Archon with a splinter pistol relic, since it's one of the few things that allows you to re-roll with a relic. Or just a Blast Pistol for that matter.
**Obviously worse on a Black Heart Archon with the Writ of the Living Muse, due to overlapping buffs.
**Pair this with Poisoned Tongue/Poison Weapons for lolsy 2+ re-rolling to hits and wounds. 
**Can turn an Archon with Djin Blade into an unholy character-murdering monstrosity.  
*'''Soul Thirst''': Get +1A. Additionally, slaying a model in the Fight phase restores one wound.
**Remember, this heals you for ''every'' model you kill. Even if you don't wipe a unit, you can whittle them away to keep at your best.
**Only problem with this one is why has your archon taken wounds he needs to heal? If his shadowfield is down he's as good as dead without backup. Possibly MWs could do this, but don't sacrifice a warlord trait on the off-chance that your enemy could deal MWs.

<tab name="Haemonculus Covens">
*'''Master Artisan''': Your warlord adds +1 to Toughness and Wounds. Probably the best suited for a tanky haem that isn't prone to being in the front and not part of the Prophets of the Flesh.
*'''Master Nemesine''': In the fight phase, re-roll 1s to wound. You don't take a Haemonculus for melee, pass.
*'''Master Regenesist''': The Warlord restores 3 wounds instead of d3 when using the Fleshcraft ability. Sadly you can't use Fleshcraft on yourself.
**Worth a look if taking a grotesque- or talos- heavy list.

<tab name="Wych Cults">
*'''Quicksilver Fighter:''' +2 Attacks, something you'll never regret having.
*'''Precision Blows:''' Hit rolls of nat 6 inflict a number of mortal wounds equal to the damage characteristic of the user's weapon, and the attack sequence ends.
**If you pick this you want to pick a relic that maximizes your A*D (always pick the Attacks drug with this WT), since you'll deliver 1/6 of that as MWs, usually.  For example, a real pro move is Razorflails + the Dark Lotus Toxin relic from the Cult of Strife, which on an Attacks Succubus will get you 28 A*D, i.e. 4.67 mortals dealt each time you attack.  If you don't want that Cult, the Triptych Whip on the same Succubus will get you A*D 20, i.e. 3.33 mortals dealt.  Accuracy buffs can absolutely help - e.g. if you can re-roll 1s to hit due to being near an Archon who's running a Realspace Raid, your mortals dealt will get the same 7/6 multiplier as the rest of your melee.  
*'''Stimm Addict:''' Your warlord rolls an additional 2d6 for drugs, re-rolling any 6s or duplicates. All 3-4 drugs are now in effect! Hooray!
**The probabilities involved here are weird, not least because you'll need to keep your dice separate, as the Stimm Addict dice re-roll 6s, but the final result is that if you go for quadruple drugs, your odds of rolling the WS drug are 70%, which does nothing on a Succubus, dropping you down to only having 3 drugs anyway, meaning your total expected drugs that impact your game (assuming your Succubus is carrying a pistol, in case she rolls the BS drug) are 3.3.  If you instead pick a drug that isn't the BS drug - e.g. the Attacks drug - then your odds of rolling the WS drug are 50/50, giving you a total expected real drug count of 2.5.
**You can dial this up to memetastic levels with the Cult of Strife via the Phial Bouquet relic for a 5th random drug that changes every round and stacks with the 3-4 you have, or the custom Cult Obsession "Stimulant Innovators" for having 1 round per game of having a random stacking drug which is rolled on 1d3 rather than 1d6, or with the Hyperstimm Backlash strat to double the impact of your drugs.  All three options are mutually exclusive.
