	*'''Tantalus:''' The Tantalus remains the most powerful unit in the Drukhari roster, and with a points cost of 230 seems to be a viable choice. With 12 shots that fire at S10 AP-2 D2, its pulse disintegrators can delete an MSU unit of Space Marines or Einhyr Hearthguard per volley – even after advancing thanks to {{W40kKeyword\|[Assault]}}. The dire scythe blades [[rip and tear]] the survivors in melee with a profile of A6 WS4+ S8 AP-1 D2. It is also fast, very durable for Drukhari standards, and continues to ferry up to 16 {{W40kKeyword\|Drukhari Infantry}} models, allowing it to offload some Incubi into combat all the while it is cutting a bloody swathe through enemy ranks itself.		*'''Tantalus<sup>IA</sup>:''' The Tantalus remains the most powerful unit in the Drukhari roster, and with a points cost of 230 seems to be a viable choice.

	*'''Venom:''' This nimble menace has gotten a lot from the edition change. While it still can only carry 6 models (no {{W40kKeyword\|Fly}} units or Grotesques allowed), all 6 of those guys can still shoot while embarked thanks to ''Firing Deck 6'' and it can pick them up during the Fight phase if the Venom's within 6". It's still a paper boat, but now it's one that can offload a world of hurt.		*'''Venom:''' This nimble menace has gotten a lot from the edition change.

	**The differences between the Splinter Cannon and Twin Splinter Rifle a a bit subtle. Though both get ''Anti Infantry 3+'', the Splinter Cannon has ''Sustained Hits 1'' as well as more firepower from being AP-1 D2 while the Twin Splinter Rifle is far more mobile with ''Assault'', ''Rapid Fire 1'' and has ''Twin-Linked'' to ensure that the hits it makes stick.		**The differences between the Splinter Cannon and Twin Splinter Rifle are a bit subtle.

	**Its rule that allows you to split a 10 elf squad in two has the fun side effect of allowing you to get two dark lances into a Raider, since the elves not riding the Venom can start embarked in another {{W40kKeyword\|Transport}}. Now remember that ''Firing Deck'' means you can spend a pain token to reroll all of the models' hits and the ~~vehicles~~ hits since the vehicle counts as being equipped with the weapons.		**Its rule that allows you to split a 10 elf squad in two has the fun side effect of allowing you to get two dark lances into a Raider, since the elves not riding the Venom can start embarked in another {{W40kKeyword\|Transport}}.

	*'''Wracks:''' A bit slower but come a bit tougher at T4 with a 5+ FNP. Fortunately, they get to keep their good guns, with the Ossefactor becoming very useful at removing an MEQ with ''[Anti-Infantry 4+]'' and ''[Devastating Wounds]'' while the Hexrifle snipes out preferred foes. The Stinger Pistol just ~~vies~~ you a pistol with easy crits thanks to ''[Anti-Infantry 2+]'' while the Liquefier gives you an S4 AP-1 flamer. Of help is that they produce a pain token for each unit they murder, though that's a bit easier said than done with only S3 ~~AP-~~ hand weapons.		*'''Wracks:''' A bit slower but come a bit tougher at T4 with a 5+ FNP.

	As per the [[Warhammer 40,000/10th Edition Tactics/Eldar\|Eldar Index]], you can add in up to 25% of your army allowance in {{W40kKeyword\|Anhrathe}} and {{W40kKeyword\|Harlequins}} units to your army. These units will not benefit from ~~Weave~~ of Fate nor will they gain ~~Powered by~~ Pain.

	*'''Archon:''' The big cheese comes stock with a Shadowfield for a 2++ save that can't be re-rolled and thus breaks once failed - sadly, you don't have any backup saves beyond your 4+ armour. As a leader, he lets an attached squad of Kabalites or his court re-roll 1s to wound, but empowering his gang lets them re-roll all wounds. A bit useful for most splinter weapons, but empowering will help the reliability of your blasters and ~~darklances~~. On top of that, he has a single-use ability to force a stratagem the enemy uses to cost 1 more CP.		*'''Archon:''' The big cheese comes stock with a Shadowfield for a 2++ save that can't be re-rolled and thus breaks once failed - sadly, you don't have any backup saves beyond your 4+ armour.

	**The reliance of ~~''[~~Anti-Infantry 3+~~]''~~ extends to his own weapons as well. The Huskblade has a nice AP and damage, but its strength makes it useless on anything outside of infantry, as is the splinter pistol. If you want a blast pistol, you'd best hope that you'll find someone close enough to use and not worry about either tanks laughing it off someone bumrushing after that.		**The reliance of {{W40kKeyword\|Anti-Infantry 3+}} extends to his own weapons as well.

	*'''Beastmaster:''' [[Derp\|Not in a Wych ~~Coven~~ this edition.]] You shouldn't really use him as much more than a kamikaze unit anyways, since they can't give any buffs and are stuck to a permanent set of monsters with near-identical stats who can re-roll 1s to hit when charging. The Razorwings have laughable power but throw out tons of attacks with ''[Sustained Hits 1]''. The Khymerae, while weaker at W2, has more impressive S5 attacks with ''[Lethal Hits]''. The Clawed Fiend is your only powerhouse, though only with some extra wounds and ''[Devastating Wounds]'' on their attacks to denote that.		*'''Beastmaster:''' [[Derp\|Not in a Wych Cult this edition]].

 *'''Crucible of Malediction:''' Haemonculus Only. Enemies within 12" of the bearer take -1 to their battle-shock tests. Any {{W40kKeyword|Psyker}} who fails their test has to take d3 mortal wounds.
 *'''Labyrinthine Cunning:''' Archon only. Lets you refund 1 CP on a 4+ when you use a strat on the bearer's unit. The roll adds +3 if you used Alliance of Agony, pretty much allowing you to always use those Tokens to power up all three heroes.
