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

====Not Elites====
Because they are Elites but can only be taken when there's an Archon, which makes them use no actual slots. So, "not elites".
*'''Court of the Archon:''' Rather than being a bunch of solo models these guys are back to being a unit (which foils Ynnari shenanigans).
**'''Lhamaean:''' A lady with a poison 2+ blade that does a mortal wound in addition to the normal damage on a 6+ to wound. So, once every 9 attacks. She has 2. So much for the only Blade Artist of the court. If she's in the squad, the Court gains an aura that makes {{W40kKeyword|<kabal> Archon & Kabalite Trueborn}}s' poison weapons automatically wound the target on a nat 6 to hit. Only problem is, you usually get only one unit of Trueborn, 3 of them will probably be using special weapons instead of splinter rifles, and the Archon is probably not wielding a Venom blade.  Plus, this actively makes Venom Blades ''worse'' against some Sv2+ targets: autowounding on 6 to hit isn't a big step up from 2+ wounding, but the aura is mandatory and shuts down Blade Artists.
**'''Medusae:''' Their eyeburst is back to being a warpflamer/liquifier at Pistol d6 S4 AP-2, autohits. Good against any infantry that gets too close.
**'''Sslyth:''' With good stats: T3 W3 5+/5+++ and 3A WS3+ S5 AP-2 as well as Shardcarbines (& pistol), they are the general combat members of the squad. They're also the only actual bodyguard models of the court, as a unit without a Sslyth wouldn't be able to stop snipers from targeting the Archon. But they no longer take the actual wounds for him, though. 
**'''Ur-Ghul:''' 16 Points and a crapload of S4 attacks for a single model, particularly on the charge, and the new codex grants them AP-1. It has no access to Power from Pain, though. That said, 3W and a 5+++ does make them excellent Smite shields to protect a more important character.
***The new 40k Warhammer Quest game comes with 4 plastic Ur-Ghuls. There may be separate rules for those, but at the very least it'll be easier to get some models without having to buy the old resin model separately.
