40K Saga (Age of Plasma) - All Factions Done

Warlord

Armour – 5 (5)

Aggression 8

Armour 5 (5)
Aggression 3 (0)

May choose each time they fight in Melee which style they will be using.

Martial Prowess: May choose to fight with Heavy Weapons or fight with normal weapons but gain twice the “Supremacy” Dice (see Special Rules at end).

Warriors – Warriors or Wyches

Warriors

Armour 4 (4)
Aggression 1 (1)

Wyches

Armour 3 (3)
Aggression 2 (1/2)

Combat Drugs: A unit of Wyches can select a myriad of drugs to enhance both the pleasure of combat and their endurance. Once per Game a unit of Wyches can use their combat drugs to remove D3 points of fatigue but take the same number of hits, roll one defence dice per hit as if from shooting. A unit of Wyches that uses combat drugs counts as having Armour 5 (3) for that turn.

Levy – None, slaves are for torturing to death not for fighting!

Supremacy Special Rule

The Dark Eldar fight not for land or gold but for slaves and pleasure. They target weak foes and tend to avoid more solid areas of resistance.

Dark Eldar Units get an extra Attack Dice in Melee for each “Tier” that they outrank their opponent. The Tiers are.

1. Warlord/Bigger than a Bipedal Creature
2. Hearthguard/Bi-Pedal Creature
3. Warrior
4. Levy

So if a Dark Eldar Warlord charged into some Imperial Guard Levy they would get an additional 3 Attack dice but if the same warlord charged a unit of warriors they would only get an additional 2 dice.

Power From Pain

The Dark Eldar survive by inflicting Pain and Fear on their Enemies whether on the Battlefield or the Arena.

Once a Dark Eldar unit is below half it’s starting strength they may reroll two dice per shooting or melee attack.

Additionally each time a Dark Eldar unit inflicts a casualty roll a D6 for each model removed, on a 6 remove a point of fatigue from the unit that inflicted the casualty. This roll is made after all fatigue from abilities is applied.

Dark Eldar Warriors and Hearthguard can take one extra point of Fatigue before getting exhausted. However each unit that starts the turn with Three Fatigue receives a marker. If at the end of the turn they have not lost one net point of fatigue they lose models with no saves allowed.

Hearthguard lose D2
Warriors lose D3

The Screams of the Wounded and Dying invigorate the Dark Eldar and drive them to cause even more pain and injury
