Hi,
I tried to gather all rules people gathered on Warseer,
BolS, Heresy Online and
40k-Online from browsing through the Codex at
GD UK. Inaccuracies and incompleteness not avoidable. I try to update this as time allows. Here we go. Last changes coloured
dark red.
General Remarks/Rules
3 kind of armies with this book: Kabalyte, Wych Cult and Haemunculus army. But units are strong enough to make most combinations competitive as well. No point costs yet, as the Codex only had the main entry pages. But preview copies of the Codex should be instore in 2-3 weeks.
Universial rules
Night vision rule army wide (= acute senses?)
Strength through pain (mostly for Wych Cult units): After destroying non-vehicle unit,
DE unit gets one pain token (1+ tokens means unit gets
FNP, 2+ tokens means army gets Furious Charge, 3+ tokens means army gets fearless). Maximum is 3. Even better, characters and units combine pain tokens. So a unit with one and a character with one would both count as having 2 if they joined. And Haemonuclus and a couple of other things come with one automatically.
Combat drugs: One roll for all unit with combat drugs before the game (all get the same).
Shadow Field in, 12“ assault not.
Dark Lances are still AP2 and can only be selected for 10 strong warrior squads. Splinter rifles are poisoned strength X that always wound on a 4+, Splinter cannons can fire assault 4 or heavy 6.
3-5 new units ,no old ones dropped. New units seem to be: New Archon bodyguard, new man-sized Haemunculi construct, new beast for beastmaster, Venom transport and something else.
Splinter weaponry makes a wound in a 4+ (normal poison weapon).
Dark Matter spam is gone with a more realistic allocation of heavy/special weapons mainly based on squad size. Similarly for reavers.
Web portals are still in.
Archons or Haemunculi (dieembarked!) drops it in the shooting phase. It then acts more or less like a board edge that you can bring reserves on. The WWP is indestructible once it's down...and in a change, cannot be used to bring on vehicles. Also, if you have a WWP you can always put things in reserves even if the mission doesn't allow.
Disintegrators are no longer plasma cannons, they are S5 AP2 Heavy 3.
terrorfex/horrorfex grenade launchers are out.
DE seem to no longer have a rule saying they are always the attackers in scenarios with an attacker and defender.
No psykers in the army except Harlequin Shadowseer (who is not a Dark Eldar)
HQ
8-9 Special characters, including all current one's except Kruellagh and not including Arhra.
No jetbike or skyboard option for non-
SC HQ, but several
ID weapons.
Asdrubal Vect
Even more expensive but hard hitting , costing about as much as Mephiston (Dais not compulsory).
Dais is AV 13 13 13 with three Dark Lances. He seizes the initiative on a 4+.
Lady Malys 
His Ex-Wife.
Immune to psychic powers and passes this ability onto any unit she joins.
She allows to redeploy D3 units after deployment...including placing these units back into reserve.
Lelith Hesperax
4++ save, 3++ in combat. S3. Her hair counts as a shardnet + impaler. Her knives are power weapons. She doesn't use combat drugs, as she is skilled enough With Weapon Skill 9 and four attacks which ignore armour saves, plus an extra one for each point her weapon skill is higher than her foe's, Lelith can murder entire squads.
Drazhar
Eternal Warrior and rules/stats similar to Phoenix Lords.
Urien Rakarth
Master Haemunculus.
Gives out d3 free pain tokens at the start of the game, which must go to wrack or grotesque units,
also regains a wound at the start of each of his turns as his flesh re-knits itself.
He can make the small constructs troops, and he can give grotesques S6 instead of their usual S5 for 5 points each.
Kheradruakh, the Decapitator
mandrake champion, still with 4 arms.
Always starts in reserve, player can place him anywhere without a roll but at least 1" or 2" away from enemy units.
Duke Sliscus the Serpent
a corsair captain- nasty counterpart to Yriel who isn't that great a fighter but gives bonuses to the rest of your army.
Concept wise he is David Bowie in space, a really glam rocker dude.
Can confer 3+ Poisoned onto one unit's shooting attacks. Also, he is the Dark Eldar character who tore out Lukas The Trickster's heart.
Ability to give you 2 rolls on the combat drugs chart, picking the result you want.
Baron Sathonyx
has a skyboard
Makes Hellions troops (Hellions are not part of the Wych cult anymore but something independent)
Special skyboard gives him +2 str on the charge (so +3 with his hellglaive) but no power weapon or combat drugs.
Makes pulling enemy IC's out of units virtually guarenteed. He also shields the unit from fire very effectively if there's decent cover around.
Archon
WS7, BS7, +1
BS, +1WS, +1A, +1LD compared to previous edition, can take Blaster (18“ range).
If he kills and enemy
MC/
SC in close combat, he doubles his Strength to 6. If he kills another one, he doubles his Strength to 10.
Can have bodyguard retinue called 'Court of the Archon' which is a retinue like an inquisitors.
The Court Of The Archon is the Archon's new bodyguard option. It is somewhat inspired by Greek mythology. Options include a retinue member which grants 2+ Poisoned to the entire retinue. This option is unbelievably cheap for what it does. Other options include Ur-Ghuls (which had FNP) and Medusae (which have an 'eye laser' ranged attack).
He can take different numbers of 4 different types of guards. ie. he can take some of one type and a few of another etc. (I would recommend keeping it down to 10 members so they can ride in the archon's pimpin' raider).
Medusae- ranged eye laser style weapon (edit: the background for these are pretty cool; they're basically brains-on-stalks that possess hosts for them to leech off their emotions)
Ur-Ghuls- furious charge, feel no pain cc monsters with i5 and 3 s4 attacks base
Lhameans- poison masters
Sslyths- 2 wound snake-like mercenaries armed with shardcarbine, splinter pistol and cc weapon (they have 4 arms). also have FnP
1-2 lhameans
1-2 medusae
1-3 sslyth (these are not cheap, above double a marines cost)
1-5 ur-ghuls
so you NEED to take at least one of each
To make things a bit difficult, ruleswise it is not a retinue, as the Archon can be singled out in a cc attack.
Wych Lord (Succubus)
as archon but +1 WS, I and -1 BS, LD, sv
wargear is minimal, mainly wych weapons and other combat gear, nothing too special. comes with combat drugs as standard
Haemunculus
FNP
Wargear:
The crucible of malediction: all psykers within 3d6 take a ld test or get removed from play (one use only).
Archangel of pain: all enemies within 3d6" failing a LD test get WS/I1 until end of turn (combine that with a Lelith attack ).
Haemunculus Ancient

WARGEAR: Splinter Rifle, Kabalite Armour

Fluff text says Trueborn escort their Archons to battle, so these guys can probably be

]Wych are same as before, Hekatrix and Bloodbrides are same as Wych Succubus with +1LD, Syrens are same as Hekatrix with +1A.
