Hello darkness my old friend (Skal's Troop month 266 pts)

In restless dreams, I walked alone

Narrow streets of cobblestone

'Neath the halo of a street lamp

I turned my collar to the cold and damp

When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light

That split the night

And touched the sound of silence There was always something so badass to me about the Dark Eldar Incubi. These dudes were not even elite's, these were the cream of the crop, the most murderie or the murderie (is that a word?). These were the personal retinue of the Dark Eldar Lord! Oh hell yeah bring on the murdering cause thats what these elves do.

                                         

I wanted this unit to match the Archon that I will be using as the Lord of my force so I went with the Kabal of the Black Heart colors that I used for my warriors. I ended up making the weapons pop so that this unit would be easy to find on the table.



I painted up eight of the of the standard two handed power weapon the "Punisher" and than one Shredder and one Blaster for further options.


These are going to add some much needed armored troops as well as some murderie power weapons to my growing Eldar "Pirates". They would work well if I wanted to use them as Howling Banshees or even Striking Scorpion's if I am playing a "Pure" 2nd edition game with my Dark Eldar force.


And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
Then the sign said, "The words on the prophets are written on the subway walls
In tenement halls"
And whispered in the sound of silence

Till next month
