Dark Eldar Codex Supplement

A bit of wishlisting at its finest: what would you like to see if we get treated to a supplement book? What feasible ways are there to do this for our race?

What we've seen so far is a focus on lots of new models (Iyanden) and a special character and upgrade packs (Farsight Enclaves).

Thus I do declare that a wave release with Duke in it makes Codex: Sky Serpents totally feasible....... (Phil are you reading thissssss?)

I dunno, The whole Codex: Lyanden thing was kinda a blow to me. Just stuff you could do already but put In a $50 book.

However if GW isn't just looking for a quick buck, it would be awesome if they made a codex suppliment with extensive rules for an Incubi shrine. The HQ could be an Incubus Hierarch and maybe actuall rules for a Dark Eldar Avatar of Khaine.

I would ask for a coven or wyche cult supplement , but you truly can already do that with the current codex just like...wait....you can do with the Eldar and Iyanden codexes. Wait, this could work!    

I could totally see a supplement for Dark Eldar corsairs/Sliscus armies.

I could more so see just an Eldar corsair supplement including craftworld and commorite elder.

Or maybe a mandrakes focused supplement to sell the models. Could coincide with a release of the model for the decapitator (really didn't want to attempt spelling his name without my codex handy)

I just might make him for kicks muahahha

Couldn't see it happening. There's not enough branches on the family tree.
In the future I wouldn't mind seeing the Codex split up and more in-depth to Coven/Kabal/Cult dex's.
The DE Avatar of Khaine sounds awesome.

A supplement that would let me take my Archon with either a jetbike or a skyboard.

And let units assault straight out of a webway portal.

Not purely Wych cult, but I'd be interested to see them come up with an arena supplement, so a few more funky Wych types, uber beasts, close combat reavers, a chariot type models sitting between the reaver and the venom in terms of size, and of course a gladiator-engine.

On a more serious note I can't really see any aspect of the DE that would make for a viable supplement. Specific Kabals, Cults or Covens? Can't really see it.

Yeah, I don't see much scope for a supplement based on specific Kabals etc (on the model of Craftworlds or SM Chapters).

Possibly there could be supplements allowing for Cult- or Coven-based forces (with the assumption of a new Kabal-based Codex), but even that seems a bit of a stretch unless they want to seriously mess with people's existing armies. Would GW ever do that?

I think it would be better if they went the other way, fewer, but more customisable codecie.
The Guard Codex before this one had "doctines" that let you customise your army quite a bit.
You could be a drop troop army, and deep strike all your infantry and sentinals.
You could take Camo Cloaks or Carapace (for extra pts)

Theres no reason imperial marines couldnt fit in one codex.

I am with the "Corsairs" crowd. as a supplement, I think it might be fun...Could be a dual supplement. Basically one supplement that uses both craftworld and Commoragh Eldar

I'd be all over a Corsairs supplement if it didn't involve Forgeworld models. Nothing against Forgeworld but I can't afford them!

I think I'd rather they just put the extra rules into the DE codex, and turned the extra fluff into a novel or something.

I guess I just don't relish the idea of spending about £25 for 2 pages of rules.  

Honestly I feel our codex gives us all we need for either coven, warrior, cult, and even Incubi lists without supplement lists. I feel it's another way for GW to make money when all this used to b done in the old codices( look at csm 3rd edition book for example).

Yeah, I remember they made that after the codex astardes thing. The 3rd edition Chaos book is a perfect example of what GW should be doing as much as they can with future books... just minus the fact that that book almost never lost! lol

Honestly, if you just use your imagination and tailor your lists to what you want there should be no problem. I'm not saying to just do fluffy lists instead of competitive ones (I have a coven list with an Archon, Retinue And over 40 warriors still).

Harlequins...

They live the the Webway...

Have different rules from standard craftworlders...

Appear in both armies...

Might be fun to have an exodite supplement with monstrous creatures, world singer as a HQ, troops similar to kroot that roll on their own table for forests and water (I'm sure they would ally with us in a time of need for the survival of the eldar as a whole).
Might be fun to have some supplements for the satellite realms of commorragh too.

Given the variants available through our wonderful current codex and the corsairs already in IA 11 The Doom of Mymeara, I could see Harlequins or Exodites in our future, but that's about it. New MC's and Kroot-like mercenary troops, as Crazy_Ivan suggested, would be cool.

I would expect that if a suppliment was made for the Harlequin's it would have one page of rules and that one page would only have one unit/model, the Solitaire.

A Harlequins supplement would be really cool

Harlies
HQ
-Great Harlequin
-Great Shadow Seer

Elite
-Solitaire

Troop
-Troopers in Venoms

Fast Att
-Jetbikes
-Some new Vyper chassis vehicle


Heavy S
-Death Jester
-Wraithlord


This would clash with whats currently in CWE and DE codices though. I wonder if they'd be willing to do that.

A proper corsair supplement is definitely needed, a mercenaries one for us could be good for all the alien nasties that come to commorragh, imagine a unit of sslyth!

Yeah... I really wish they expanded on a Merc list. That universe is solo huge you can come up with ANY type of race. (maybe not some much the Jokero... )

I would personally love a harlequin supplement. I would spend so much money if there was a possibility of fielding harlequins en masse.
