The boarding-troop carrier of the family. The Baleful Gaze-class is your first foray of the [[Impaler Assault Module|Impaler Assault Modules]]. The [[Impaler Assault Module|Impaler squadrons]] are an interesting feature of the Drukhari as they are essentially super-sized, single craft wings of assault boats that deal more troop damage than normal, seem to travel faster and have a better chance of getting through defence turrets. Basically, it's like having a guaranteed, [[Awesome|supercharged assault boat launch.]]

Considering the sacrifice of a weapon mount to get them, it is really worth taking into consideration how you are going to make good use of them. Coupled with the powerful Dark Eldar assault actions and the cheap cost of Impaler equipped ships, one could stack these weapons in their fleet and use them to quickly gain an upper hand through devastating assaults on the enemies capital ships, right at the opening of the fight. This strategy has a lot of inherent risks and would take practice and timing to pull off, but could be very effective against factions that rely on fewer stronger ships.

If you are trying this strategy versus [[Necron]]s, make sure to bring something to bait their Starpulse Waves or stagger the Impalers to avoid a devastating loss of multiple squadrons. Honestly, they have a pretty hard counter to this tactic so a smart Necron player will really mess with your plans here.

These Light Cruisers are armed with 1 Impaler Bay carrying an [[Impaler Assault Module]] and 3 [[Scythe Missile Launcher|Scythe Missile Artillery Batteries.]]
