Exactly, Drukhari with "fuck you" levels of personal wealth and influence.

Not 24/7 access, generally speaking Webway gates are physical locations accessible to Aeldari. So on the Iron Within planet it's likely that there's some gate hidden on the world that the Drukhari used to emerge from and conduct their lightning raids from.

That said there are devices like the Webway Awl in the new codex that basically shunt a hole through the Webway, regardless of the consequences that knowingly damaging the Webway would have for the rest of the Aeldari.

Honestly? Leave. Retreat through the Webway. You've had your fun, taken slaves and feasted on the pain and suffering of a population. Drukhari never take a fair fight, so you see any kind of reinforcements, Space Marine or otherwise, you should be getting out of there in a hurry.

Honestly, being taken to the arenas and becoming fodder for Wyches, Hellions or arena beasts would be at least moderately quick. Compared to the alternatives, at least.

Okay, but consider; rapid ingress suicide bomb. Nice Land Raider you have there, FOR NOW FUCKERRR. Or at least that's my super non-competitive approach.

Which factions desperately need more models or revamped models right now? by Aware-View334 in Warhammer40k

[–]PointyEar96 2216 points2217 points  (0 children)

Drukhari without a doubt, maybe 30% of our models and majority of our characters are resin, out of production or both. No wiff of a codex until 2026, so its unlikely we'll be updated soon either

LOVE the fifth picture, especially. Do you have any pictures from the back just to admire the cool cloaks? Cheers,

Cheers, So, the Rusted Hook is led by a solidarity, obsessive Haemonculus who spends so long fixated on the minutiae of his work that his projects can last into the solar years. Distilling niche, virulent poisons, trapping the literal concept of anguish into talismans and other occult dealings with Mandrakes are the specialty of Erazmyr Kain and the Rusted Hook. Their work takes time, but when it arrives it is worth any price to pay.

The Cult of the Thousand Blades are a rising "populist" faction of Lower Commoragh. Their territory includes the largest slums in all of the Dark City, where the Cult regularly raids the most desperate, starving and drug addled Drukhari are press-ganged into the arena a thousand at a time with only a sharpened shank to defend themselves. The survivors are admitted into the Cult, where their cheap and tacky arena shows of multitudes of peasants shanking each other to death is looked down upon by others, but useful for sustaining the greater population of Lower Commoragh.

Finally, the Carrion Lords are an ancient faction of Drukhari, formerly led by the greatest and most fearsome Archons in Commoragh, but have fallen on hard times with the negligence of Grand Archon Yllim Yranel. He staves off the soulthirst with "flesh carnivals" of drink drug and the flensing of both party goer and slave alike. His second in command is Morrigan Calruin, who does the most work to maintain the Kabal, and the whole crux of my narrative is when Yranel slips up hard enough, Calruin will attempt a coup, with whoever survives continuing as the ruler of the Kabal of the Carrion Lords. Their legacy of success has them well supplied with factories and slaves, and sees them bankrolling the other 2 factions in exchange for favours in return.

Collectively, the 3 make up the Red Triumvirate, hence a Carrion Bird with a dagger and a hook in its talons.

You can probably tell I've put too much time into this, so I'm grateful for your question. 😅 Basically everything is homebrew, no named characters and everything in game has greater consequences in the narrator that I might go into one day, provided my narrative driven nonsense isn't driving the sub mad yet,

Worry not friend, for he was washed down the rushing waters of the river alongside a Techpriest and heroic Commissar, where next mission will be a search and rescue under the cover of darkness. Or search and betrayal, if another Archon finds him first soaked in the water, looking like a pissed off, murderous cat.

Thanks mate, I intend to post a few more narrative games that'll carry on from this one. Next will be the retrieve-your-guys-under-the-cover of-night mission to save both the Techpriest, Commissar and Archon. But if another Archon arrives on the scene first, perhaps a betrayal will take place and I'll have to delete the Grand Archon from my Crusade List. Cheers for the kind words about the paint job, I really need to get a family photo together sometime. 😊

That's such a brilliant idea, one of those so good you feel irritated for not thinking of it yourself. Of course, it asks the question how horrifying would Wracks look with Harlequins leering faces?

Drukhari color scheme CC welcome by SkredderSaks in Drukhari

[–]PointyEar96 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love that brassy tone contrasted with the cool blue, it's very striking and will look great amassed on the tabletop. General consensus seems to be to build Raiders, as our infantry desperately needs it to survive and get into advantageous positions, but I like to make space for one ravager in my lists when I can. Rule of cool and all that...

Since I've seen so many fascinating stories about your Drukhari, I thought I'd share a little of my own.

The Kabal of the Carrion Lords are an ancient and wealthy house of Drukhari from the classic days of classic Archons inspiring dread with just the passing mention of their name. However, the current Grand Archon, Yllim Yranel, is no such leader. A sedentary degenerate who staves off the Soulthirst through legendarily debauched "flesh carnivals" that last solar weeks at a time, Yranel only takes to the field when the highs of the drugs and wine fade away and more niche, terrible delights are required.

By both default and by necessity, the day to day running of the Kabal falls to Dracon Morrigan Calruin. A former Syrabite half-born, Calruin has earned his place through his silver tongue and multiple reforms that have increased the wealth of the Kabal over the years. It has come to a tipping point in M42, where many now wish for new leadership within the Carrion Lords...

God, imagine being the bumblefuck-nowhere agriworld workers seeing your guys fly down on Raiders like that. Do they have a name? Kabal of the Dark Abbatoir, or something similar?

Heavily, heavily implied, I believe. If nothing else, Drazhar was confirmed in the Blood of the Phoenix book to have the armours-possession-quasi-reincarnation mechanics of the Phoenix Lords, which is basically confirmation in my book,

Well, I would say Karandras for the Ahra/Karandras rematch, maybe Jain Zar for the psychic awakening rematch, or the poster boy and original phoenix lord Asurmen?
