One of the biggest problems the 8th Edition codex had was how the three subfactions limited your list-building options. A whole swathe of Crusade rules, capturing the narrative of the ever-shifting alliances and betrayals among the Dark Kin.Updated rules for the entire unit range.Rules for promoting particularly powerful Archons, Succubi, and Haemonculi, and for bringing their retinues to the table.Warlord traits, stratagems, relics and a dedicated set of secondary objectives.Special rules for Realspace Raids, allowing you to play a combined force of all three Drukhari factions without giving up what makes them great – and getting a couple of fantastic benefits to boot!.
Army special rules for fielding a Drukhari list, including rules for Kabals, Covens, and Wych Cults.Lore for the vicious denizens of Commoragh.This is still an army that rewards high skill and husbanding your fragile resources carefully, but unlike the anaemic position of Drukhari at the end of their 8th edition life, you’re now very well rewarded if you can get it right. And also, as you’ll learn through this review – the new book is just fantastic, with a whole bunch of new options that are both very thematic and extremely powerful. With a complete range re-launch back in the early 10s, the vast majority of their models are a) in plastic and b) look amazing, which can’t exactly be said for their uptight Craftworld cousins. Why not play Drukhari? They’re one of the most diverse and interesting factions in 40k – a mad collection of torture elves, Frankenstein elves, gladiator elves, and pirate boats, with a wide range of esoteric weaponry and interesting tricks. We’ve removed the soup list for now – everything else still applies. Note: The first publication of this missed a key note – Power from Pain only applies if your army is Monofaction Drukhari. Games Workshop have brought twisted joy to the hearts of the alarming number of Drukhari players on the editorial team by sending us a copy of this book, so join us as we delve in and get extremely hyped at all the horrific things we’re going to do with it. And friends, readers, lovers, haters – this book absolutely rules. Today sees the second Xenos Codex of 9th Edition go up for pre-order, bringing the elegant and sinister forces of the Drukhari up to date for the exciting new world we live in.
