Thanks for the speedy reply! I will share the little bit of fluff I've come up with then to see what people think. Mind you, I haven't put a whole lot of thought into this yet. And I know nearly nothing about Dark Eldar, except what people have told me...
So the basic idea is that a group of Dark Eldar on a raid are infected with one of Nurgle's diseases. These Dark Eldar, knowing they would be destroyed on returning to Commorragh, decide to just not go back. I've been told that Dark Eldar are really into drugs, combat and recreational. If this is accurate then they devise a drug, made from the processed immune systems of countless sentient beings, that stops the advances of the disease for a short time. When not on raids to gather more bodies for their drug and to appease slaanesh, they dwell on a planet of ice and snow, far enough from any sun that it is a constant night. Just how thet like it.
I don't know if any of this is too far fetched. I hope not!
Any suggestions to make it more plausible? I just like the idea because it offers a lot of different modeling options and is rather unique. I'm new to Warhammer 40k and modelling in general, so I would like to do something interesting. What do you think of the idea? Thanks for the help!
