Dark Eldar - Drukhari

Warhammer 40,000 Dark Eldar - Drukhari Game News, Reviews, Editorials & Unboxings.

The Drukhari are a faction from UK-Based Games Workshop's Tabletop Wargame Warhammer 40,000. The Drukhari or Dark Eldar are kindred to the Asuryani and other Aeldari, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their piratical raiding armies usually have the advantages of speed and technology, though they are often lacking in resilience and numbers.

The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme, using pure terror and horror harvested from captives as currency, and to extend their lives. Dark Eldar raiding parties make use of advanced anti-gravity skimmers to launch high speed raids on their enemy while still transporting a large number of their warriors. Due to their use of the galaxy-spanning inter-dimensional labyrinth known as the Webway, they are extremely mobile, striking from seemingly nowhere, with little or no warning, and vanishing with their captives before significant military reaction can be mobilised.

The Drukhari are unique amongst the races in the sense that they do not occupy many planets, but rather one dark city called Commorragh, aka The Dark City, which has portals linking it to thousands of locationa across the galaxy. They are mainly pirates, though are sometimes used as mercenaries by only the bravest or foolhardy of employers.

Asdrubael Vect is the supreme overlord of The Dark City of Commorragh and of the Dark Eldar as a whole.
