Here is the possible story end of the dark eldar

the eldar may have finally gathered enough of an army to launch one last assault against there most hated foes. In the end the eldar will start to lose the fight then in the last few hours the TAU will come to the eldars aid and with a combined assault the dark eldar will be obliterated from the galaxy.

There'd still be a few pirates who escaped.

I don't know that you making crap up is really a rumour... <_<

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

You really don't know Eldar do you? I have played every Eldar army and Dark Eldar are most definately not the Eldar's most hated foe, as you so claim. All Eldar share the same foe, She Who Thirsts aka Slaanesh. If anything there is more of a likelyhood of seeing all the eldar (DE, Eldar, Harliquins, etc.) work together to defeat Slaanesh. Hell, Harliquins still associate with the DE sometimes, and they recruit them into their ranks (that's how harlies get new warriors, by going to the craftworlds and to the DE and recruiting them).

do they really? 'quins are awesome. i didn't know that they recruited from DE though. you would think that the harlequins would find distaste in such practises as those that the DE have.

The DE's practices are to keep them from being devoured by Slaanesh, if anything they are one of the great hopes for the Eldar, though I doubt a DE lord, or any DE for that matter, would be allowed in the Black Library

DE and E dont hate each other, any more than two marine chapters or Guard regiments would hate each other for having differnt tactics and doctrines.

That is correct. CWE and DE look at each other as misguided fools; the Craftworlds too cowardly to accept their true nature and embrace it; the Dark Eldar following the very path that initally led to the fall.

Craftworlders despise Dark Eldar, but the most hated foe of the Eldar is Slaanesh, and next after that the C'tan.

The DE's practices are to keep them from being devoured by Slaanesh, if anything they are one of the great hopes for the Eldar

Uh, not really. What exactly can they offer for the future of the Eldar? Dark Eldar have no plan to save the race, no unity, each individual cares about nothing other than their own whims and their own survival. At least Craftworld Eldar plan to store souls to create Ynnead; Dark Eldar just plan to stay alive forever for their own sake.


On the first post: That's not a storyline I'd buy. The Tau be able to succeed in the unfamiliar Webway, against the entire Dark Eldar race fighting on their home turf, after even the Craftworld Eldar failed? Please. I'm dubious anyway that the Craftworld Eldar would even want to squander their lives attacking the Dark Kin, who aren't even that dangerous to them. I'm even more dubious that they'd be willing to allow the Tau monkeigh access to the Webway, or that the Tau would be willing to fight on their behalf without demanding all Craftworlds join the Greater Good.

Well, the DE will survive, they will devour the souls of their enimies and eachother thus not allowing them to go to slaanesh, and they mass reproduce. How much more survival can you get?

I play eldar. I thought that DE were the eldar who didnt escape the fall, and arethose who were consumed by it. They gave into slaanesh and turned "evil". But they then realised it was slaanesh and tried to fight, but they couldnt, so they just live there current lifestyle, trying not to give in again.

I have lways wanted to play harlequinds, but i don think they exist in 4th edition, do they ?

The DE have a place of their own in the webway that they used to escape the fall, they act like the Eldar pre-fall, killing and maiming for the fun of it, divulging in all sorts of pleasures. If slaanesh ever gets ahold of an eldar, no matter what type, she will devour their soul, then they are dead, and she is strong, that's how things work.

Normal Eldar have a problem with breeding (one that the DE do not have) because they cannot breed without having slaanesh catch on to the sent of it and devouring their souls.

The harlies should be in the new Eldar codex, allong with the DE, pirates, maybe exodites and the other types of eldar.

As I said, Dark Eldar don't actually do anything to help the Eldar race as a whole. Just surviving isn't enough, not when you are as selfish and self-centred as the Dark Kin. Dark Eldar do nothing to help the other Eldar kindreds, and a few groups of them even conspired with Chaos to attack the Black Library! They don't exactly stop souls going to Slaanesh either because their own souls are constantly being leeched by her - they need to drink the souls of others to make up for this.

Not exactly. Take a look at the links in this thread: http://www.librarium-online.com/index.php?showtopic=23881

That oughta clue you in a bit. Have a read of the DE Codex too if you can get hold of one.

Nooooo! Not this again! There is almost certainly not going to be an all-in-one Mega-Codex for all Eldar. GW have debunked this a few times now.

Also, I read a rumour on Portent from a guy who'd spoken to Rick Priestley. Word is, they were keen on the idea of including Harlequins and Exodites as Elites for other Eldar armies. DE would get Harlequins too, but no Exodites obviously (the two Kindreds being polar opposites).

Hello? Anyone out there? On the subject of the Dark Eldar vs. Eldar, the Dark Eldar are OBVIOUSLY the only true Eldar. The misquided fools of the craftworlds will all eventually succumb to the machinizations of Slaanesh. Only we, the Children of Commoragh, will survive, and regain our rightful place as the masters of the galaxy...
And after saying all this.. i don't have a Dark Eldar army.

found this from Portent.net

New Eldar Codex is in preliminary planning stages. Harlequins will be
staying as background definately, and the possibility of them getting
rules hasn't been ruled out. They're definately tossing around the
idea of Eldar and Dark Eldar in one codex, and the impression I got
was that they were leaning in that direction.

I hope they kill of Dark Eldar.(Massive Slaanesh force comes kills them all sumin like that.)I would think Slaanesh would kill DE anyway, or they new and better models coz the models now are crap!

Test tube babies!!!

If the Eldar were to finally destroy the DE, then the webway would be their own, and could open back up closed sections and further extend their power. There is definitely incentive to attack the DE, but i also doubt it would happen. Mind you, if it did and craftworlds combined for the effort the DE would certainly not survive the assault. Commoragh is but one city... each craftworld is a city as well. DE aren't very good on the defensive, seeing as all of their tactics are based on lightning strikes, then leaving; now defending against a brutal onslaught.

actually, if you look at some of the obscure fluff, comorargh is a city planet, all city. they do breed much more than vanilla eldar, that's why they can do al these frequent, random raids. DE are supposed to be the third largest antagonist to the imperium, after orks and chaos.

also, they got some serious defensive hardware in comoragh. imagine an country population's worth of hellions and shades stalking the streets, unchecked. not forgetting al the spikes.

That sounds highly unlikely to me... they are more a threat than tyranids number wise? Where can i find this fluff?

I've read most every piece of DE fluff there is, and it never once says it's a city planet. In fact, Asdrubael Vect says that they reside in the Webway, not on some planet.

Yes, thats correct. Commoragh is not a planet but a city, similar I suppose to the Black Library, that exists within the Webway.

Tau help Dark Eldar? necrons teleprot all the darkeldars to the eldar homeland and full rain it
