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

====HQ====
*'''[[Yvraine]]:''' The Emissary of Ynnead herself, and she gains the {{WH40kKeyword|Asuryani}} keyword this time. For 135 points you get a goth girlboss with a Phoenix Lord-esque statline and Kha-vir, the Sword of Sorrows, a magic sword with a S+1 AP-3 D2 damage profile that also inflicts 2 MWs on an unmodified roll of 6 (and ends her attack sequence). She has a runesuit that gives her Transhuman Physiology (wound rolls of 1-3 auto-fail) and a 4++ invul. She can cast two powers from the Revenant Discipline to begin with (likely going to be Word of the Phoenix and Shield of Ynnead) and gains more in mid-game, which is nice given how powerful these spells are, and her familiar allows her to reroll psychic tests. Rules-wise she retains her Herald of Ynnead ability to hitch a ride in any Ynnari transport she desires, but also has Battle Focus and Strands of Fate now. A very lovely support character, a bit on the pricey side but you definitely get what you pay for.
*'''[[Visarch]]:''' Our resident pointy-eared Jorah Mormont to Yvraine's pointy-eared Daenerys Targaryen, long struggled to be anything other than a bad Autarch, but there is a lot more incentive to bring him as something other than a tax HQ choice in a Ynnari patrol this time. The Visarch has got himself a substantial upgrade for his magic [[Choppa]], the cronesword Asu-var the Sword of Silent Screams, which now has a S+2 AP-4 D2 profile and also negates invul saves on any wound rolls of 4+. The Visarch is quite tough as Eldar units go, with a 2+ armour save, a 4++ invul, 6W and the Champion of Ynnead rule that allows him to regain wounds (and also pick up extra attacks if a character eats it) if any friendly {{WH40kKeyword|Ynnari}} models near him die. He hands out a reroll 1s to-hit aura (melee ''and'' range) for every {{WH40kKeyword|Ynnari}} {{WH40kKeyword|Core}} unit within 6". He now acts as a Bodyguard for Yvraine, so if you have her in your detachment, you can bring him then he takes up no HQ slot. Unfortunately though, he's gone up to 95 points and he still might lose out to an Autarch just through their sheer superior customisation options despite his beatstick profile. If you have the points to spare then there's nothing wrong with bringing him.
*'''The [[Yncarne]]:''' Oh boy, here they come killin' again. The Yncarne has seen a big points cost drop, 250 points (down from 290). And Jesus Christ, what a character you get for that. The Yncarne is the Ynnari answer to the Avatar of Khaine, and has the epic cronesword Vilith-zhar, the Sword of Souls, with two brutal profiles: either a piercing strike (S+4 AP-4 DamD3+3 that ''ignores invuls'') or a sweeping anti-horde strike (SUser AP-4 D1 Ax2), plus a new Soul Energy 6" magic flamer that licks enemies with S7 AP-2 D1 auto-hitting ''EVERY'' enemy unit within range. And they're not just a monster on offense, either; the Yncarne is very hard to kill with T7 W12 and halving all damage (rounded up) with a 4++ invul for good measure. The Yncarne starts out knowing ''all'' of the powers from the Revenant discipline, has Battle Focus and Strands of Fate, and has a 12" aura to allow friendly Ynnari infantry to ignore combat attrition modifiers (not that this matters). On top of all that, the thing can not only fly over terrain but also set up in waiting off the board and appear within 1" of a just-wiped unit, friend or foe, though it cannot do so within engagement range of an enemy unit and it cannot charge or heroically intervene in that turn. All of this adds up to a ridiculously powerful deathstar/character assassin with a monstrous threat range and pretty much any enemy squad dies within a single round of it getting within arms-reach.
**'''Note''': The Yncarne can't charge after arriving in this way so you ideally want him popping up on your opponent's turn. You also want to be exploiting the ability to redeploy when anything dies as a mobility/escape tool. If anything else The Yncarne popping up somewhere unexpected can divert a ton of fire away from your other units, though you might want to leave the [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX]] role to something like a Succubus or Venom.
