Good afternoon all.   

 

Firstly I'm way more of a hobbyist than gamer as it would take me a few hours to travel anywhere close to me that would house games, even worse as I'm a Titanicus player.....so alone.  Beyond that the last 40K I played was the start of 9th, so its been a while.  Back around the beginning of 8th a buddy had asked me to paint up some Wracks for him, which was really the last time I looked into the Drukhari, but as I was doing a hobby room clean (deep clean) I came across the old sprews for them.  It got my mind working as I really like those sculpts.  Now I also realize that at this time GW seems to be in a restocking/updating??? thing with the Drukhari so time isn't really important as far as models go.  

 Can someone please share with me what is a key lore book(s).  I realize the Dark Eldar go back quite a while so even stuff like Imperial Armor or White Dwarf, if good, interests me. I've run a pretty big net of YouTube lore guys & they have been great but anyone that sticks out in your mind would be appreciated. 

Goodwin, from what I gather is the be all end all as far as Aeldari art goes, is there anyone else I should be checking out?  Jess put out the art book quite a few years ago & I can only find scant few pictures but I'll be hunting around looking for a hardcopy (I know good luck!) . 

Now more of a lore type question, I've always quite liked the look of the Wraithguard & am starting to understand, lore wise, why the Drukhari doesn't have them BUT is there any snippet of lore (any edition) that allows them in a Drukhari army?  

I know I said a boatload of question but I'll stop with this last one, does anyone know of or have a extensive list of Drukhari equipment/vehicles that have gone OOP, especially Forge World? 

 

Thanks for your time

Can't answer most but, may be the last one?

 

As far as I remember, working on my deficient memories, ooP FW Dark ELdars models include:

- the Raven Fighter

- the Reaper

- but I wonder if the dark kin did not had a double hull jet fighter close in design from the Raven... This is where my memory fails...  See Edited part

 

Other ooP models, from the main GW range are:

- Asdrubael Vect

- Kruelagh (or is is Cruellak?)

- Beastmaster on foot with pack warp hounds

 

Then some are affected by the Range Rotation: i.e. can be fielded as they are in the index but cannot be bought anymore, until they come back; or not.:

- Beastmaster on skyboard and all its beasts

- Court of the Archon

- Grotesques

- Urien Rakarth

 

For the Wracks, you already underlined their new fate (Sold out online) -> toward repackaging or something else?

 

Edit: Found it back - it is the old design for the Razorwing mentionned in this post:

Sort of. You can run Wraithguard and some Drukhari units in an Ynnari DEVOTED OF YNNEAD detachment but there are some restrictions. You cannot run any Epic Heroes apart from the Ynnari ones so Pheonix Lords and the Avatar are out. You cannot run any Drukhari models with the HAEMONCULUS COVENS keyword which unfortunately rules out those Wracks. You can still run Kabalite and Wych units as well as Harlequins and the majority of the Craftworld list although you must include Yvraine or the Yncarne as your Warlord.

There are indeed some restrictions, yet these ones look like being the old ones from the index. In the codex they evolved and, in my totaly unbiased opinion [insert ironical emoticon], went for worse as far as dark eldars inclusion is concernd.

 

Now you use the aeldari codex entries only. They got 7 drukhari nuits tagged as Ynnari that you can use. No less , no more. Kabalites, archin, succubus, incubis, wytches, venom and raider. If yvraine and or the yncarne still must be used with one as warlord, epic hero restriction dropped away.
