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

==Faction Keywords==

The overall keyword is {{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}}. You share the {{W40Kkeyword|AELDARI}} keyword with Craftworlders, Harlequins and Corsairs, meaning you can combine them within any detachment. In addition, the FAQ states that "If your army is Battle-forged, {{W40Kkeyword|YNNARI}} units can only be included in Detachments in which all units have the Ynnari keyword." So you can't mix within the same detachment and stay Battle-Forged, but you can add a separate Ynnari detachment to your army in addition  to your Drukhari/Aeldari Detachment. This allows you to keep things like Power From Pain or Rising Crescendo and doesn't lock you out out of the {{W40Kkeyword|<COVEN>}} units, Mandrakes or Drahzar. Just remember that only the units actually in the Ynnari detachment can actually benefit from Strength From Death.

In addition, you have multiple keywords to keep track of. There is {{W40Kkeyword|<KABAL>}} for all your vampire space elf pirates, {{W40Kkeyword|<WYCH CULT>}} for all your crazy gladiator ladies and {{W40Kkeyword|<COVEN>}} for your Haemonculi Coven freakish genetic experiments. Note that Incubi, Mandrakes, Scourges and all the beasts have the {{W40Kkeyword|Blades for Hire}} keyword and as such do not profit from buffs for these factions, including auras and faction specific obsessions unless specifically listed.  This split creates several complications with list building, and even in a "pure" Drukhari list featuring only {{W40Kkeyword|DRUKHARI}}, you're still going to have HQ auras that are focused more on a single unit or two rather than supporting the larger force. It's for this reason that they focus more upon the Realspace Raider configuration, a unique force that allows all three subfactions to work together without stepping on each other's toes.
