Codex - Dark Eldar Angry Emo Edition
Introduction
Angry codexes are an attempt to improve internal and external balance. Check out the Angry Codex hub for the other angry codexes.
This codex will aim to lower the army´s number of poison and lance weaponry, this will be done to decrease the Deldars inborn proffeciency against monsters and Armour 14. This codex will feature a general buff to the codex.
Before you read any further, if you are a masochist and you just love your stuff getting killed/destroyed en masse. These changes will dissapoint you.

Dark Eldar are Desperate Allies with Eldar. Note that this means Eldar do not benefit from flickerfields and night shields. They are still Battle Brothers with Harlequins. Note that if you are using the Angry Muchking Eldar then they will count as Battle Brothers as normal.
