Dark Eldar

[DarkLink]

Dark eldar dont have psykers because they take drugs. Thats all they need.

They don't need psykers! They control the spice, so they control the universe!

its just another glaring omission by GW. they dont want to make a better faster version of the eldar. they know that until the wolves arrived under 5th, eldar were kings of the psychic battle

why make a new de codex that makes them shoot better faster and deadlier and then give them psychic powers on top of that .. no no no GW cant have that, but what they didnt do and should have was give them psychic defense ala black templars. but no, now you run into eldar spam at tournies and have to face eldrad and his fortune guide doom spammed seer councils who get to cast with impunity

that why the best tournament army is by far space wolves i have taken down 4 seer council armies because eldrad couldnt cast squat take away their psychic powers and they are like guardsmen

so us DE players know that we got 0 defense against it and cant cast spit to stop it BIG WHOOP one ic is immune to it. wont stop a fortuned, guided unit from killing her just as easy.

Really i've always had a perfect defense against psykers... after all you can't cast when your dead.

[Archon Charybdis]

It's specifically addressed in the new codex that they've left their psychic abilities to atrophy, and that the use of psychic powers is forbidden in the Dark City, because it would bring the forces of the Great Enemy down on their heads.

Lady Malys has some impressive anti-psyker abilities, namely being completely immune to all psychic abilities and passing that ability on to the unit she is worth. Put her with some of your best anti-MEQ and go psyker hunting.

yes you are correct but what does being immune do for you when eldrad and his seer council are fortuned and guided a re rollable 3+ invo save is hard to remove

You don't have to do anything. Lady's attacks are immune to the effects of any psychic powers, so they cannot be rerolled against.

Don't get me wrong, I know both sides of the argument. This has never come up for me in my many years of playing, so this is a non issue for me really.

I am just discussing it just to discuss. I don't care either way.
