DE havent gotten in update since...1997, or was it 1998, yes? While inquisition is from 2003, so they are in the same boat generally, but DE are twice as old almost.

Loved Drow in the Drizzt Books, Dark Elves have always been my soft spot, in everything, but the 40k thing...w/ the pain killers and then them basically being glorified butchers, just doesn't fit me.

Like in the drizzt books, yeah, they tortured them to hell for hundreds of years, but 40k drow literally make them watch themselves being cut piece from piece, w/o any pain, thats terrible.

Dunno, just didn't like how GW did them, atm, Dark Eldar are just skinny black people who have Laz0rs and have a fetish for torture/murder.

Space Marines have more in common with Chaos than Eldar have with Dark Eldar.

You can argue that Chaos and Loyalist Space Marines are very equivalent to each other though. I mean sure, they have some different units, but the units are about as durable (Only Chaos has one unit that's REALLY durable, the rest are still marines with different rules and wargear.)

In this way, Eldar and Dark Eldar...are GEQs (T3, 5+ save, very shooty, ect)
