Codex: Dark Eldar Q&A
Q: The Reavers get the result of 1 on their Combat Drugs roll and never fall back. The Succubus in the squad has her own drugs, and the result of "Crazed! Ignores fall back results..." is not available to her. Now, if the squad loses combat, they will not fall back because of the squad’s drugs, but will the succubus have to make a morale test and possibly fallback (and leave the squad)? This is only and issue because she is not an Independent Character. A: Hmmm, this is a good question (and not something that came up during playtesting). Under these circumstances she would ignore the fall back result. Q: According to the description of the Talos, you roll to hit and then allocate hits to the closest models. Assuming the models are wounded and killed do you: A. Remove the exact models
that are killed. A: A is indeed the correct answer. The Talos's special rules over-ride the normal rules. Q: When, and how often, is the razorsnare used? A: It's used in the assault phase, after the attackers have made any charges but before combat is resolved. It can be used in either player's assault phase. Q: May you make a "Fleet of Foot" move after disembarking from a vehicle? A: Yes. Q: Can a DE character on a jetbike use Combat Drugs to assault 12"? A: Yes. Q: Does the DE Reaver Jetbike give +1T & +1S to Characters as it does to Wyches? These are specifically mentioned as benefits in the Rulebook, but not in the Codex. A: Reaver Jetbikes add +1 to the rider’s toughness, as do all bikes. The entry in the Codex *should* say you get +1 strength as well. We'll cover this in Chapter Approved, and future printings of the Codex will include the change. Q: When grotesques (who need 6 STR to be wounded) take damage on a 4+ (e.g. their raider crashing) do they: a) ignore the damage, as it
isn't 6 STR A: B. Q: Can Dark Eldar capture Necrons for victory points? A: No. Q: Can a non-independent character take either a skyboard or jetbike? A: By the letter of the rules they could, although unit coherency restrictions would reduce them to little more than Toughness/ armour boost. Q: If I give my Dark Eldar Lord a Hellion Skyboard as wargear, can he/she have a bodyguard mounted in a Raider, as long as he/she remained with in 2" of the Raider? A: It is possible for the Dark Lord to have a skyboard. However, he and the retinue form a single unit, and must therefore either *all* be on the Raider, or *all* be off it, so the question is moot in this regard. Q: For the 12" Assault Move result with combat drugs, would the Dark Eldar roll 2 dice for difficult terrain, then double the highest (like the Eversor)? A: That's right. Q: It seems a model could indeed move in his transport, get out 2 inches, then fleet of foot, then assault - any problem there? A: This is perfectly legal because the move/disembark take place in the movement phase and the fleet of foot is in the shooting phase. Q: Quick question about the Talos' Wildfire special rule. It says that the shooting targets the closest model. Are we to assume that it will not shoot at vehicles or is this another case where 'model' means "anything on the table"? A: Hmm, I suspect asking the rampaging Talos to decide between vehicles and non-vehicles is a bit much to hope for, hence in this case model means anything on the table.
