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

==={{W40Kkeyword|[[Coven of Twelve]]}}===
<div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="100%">
These fine gentleman pride themselves on being the best of the best.  Constantly circle jerking/attempting to murder each other, the twelve (eleven, since Urien never actually shows up) are in an endless game of one upmanship to make the fanciest toys out of their living captives.<br>
The extra ap from their obsession doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help enough to take these guys typically.  Sure you can shoot into combat and maybe kill some of your own guys which is fun and may be how you want to play a game, but very situational.  The warlord trait is less good than just taking the -1 damage custom obsession and the relic is mostly useful against characters in melee, which isn't usually where you want your haemonculus to be.  <br>

'''Special Rules'''

*'''Obsession - Butchers of Flesh:''' All melee weapons improve their AP by 1 (0 ap becomes -1), which does not apply to relics. Helps compensate for the generally poor ap of coven melee weapons and turns agonisers into poisoned power swords. They can also shoot despite doing some other objective like capping objectives, which is less useful in most cases.
*'''Warlord Trait - Scarlet Epicurean''': Reduce incoming damage by 1, down to a minimum of 1.  Usually better than Master Regenesist in melee, but if you're trying to survive sniper rifles, remember that it won't reduce incoming mortal wounds at all, unlike Master Regenesist (if you live long enough to roll to recuperate).
*'''Relics - Flensing blade''': Replaces Haemonculus Tools. -2 AP, d3 D which maxes out against enemy characters.
*'''Stratagem - A Most Inventive Demise (1 CP)''': Whenever your {{W40Kkeyword|Coven of the Twelve haemonculus}} consolidates, select an enemy character that isn't a {{W40Kkeyword|Monster}} or {{W40Kkeyword|Vehicle}} and roll a d6. On a 2-5, they eat d3 MWs, but on a 6 they take 3+d3 MWs. A funny way to shiv a fucker before you can even fight them.
