One of my upcoming projects is to shave off all the spikey bits from my Dark Eldar Warriors so I can use them as Eldar Guardians as well. My Reavers can serve as Shining Spears and my Scourges as Swooping Hawks. But I like to keep armies tied to fluff. And the only Craftworld that I can see becoming more like the Dark Eldar are the Eldar from Kaelor.

For those of you who dont know about them. Kaelor is a Craftworld made up C.S. Goto for his book "Eldar Prophecy". In which elder members of the court begin to deal with Slaanesh. In which they begin to renact the same extremes that caused the Fall in the first place. Or are there any other Craftworlds that are mentioned that are getting close to being more like the Dark Eldar?

Also Im trying to determine a theme for my army since to me keeping an army routed in fluff is more important than a winning list. Not saying I like to loose. Though I try to keep to fluff whenever possible.

A few things.

First: That's a good idea.
Second: Dark Eldar technology is simply ancient Eldar technology (I mean, older than CWE tech). It is the tech used by eldar before the fall, and the DE still use it. So your DE as CWE can just be a craftworld of Eldar that's been out of the loop for a LONG time (since BEFORE the fall).
Third: Kaelor was originally made up for the Dark Millenium card game, and featured in the book Dark Millenium. After this, C.S. Goto wrote Kaelor's history before the events of Dark Millenium. SO despite the fact the Eldar Prophecy takes place before Dark Millenium, it was written afterwards.

You have Scourges?
'Nuff said.

I have the following:

2 Archon/Dracon models
5 Incubi
2 Haemonculi
6 10-man warrior (Plus more since I dont have enough raiders)
3 Raiders
1 Mandrake squad
1 Warp Beast Pack
2 Reaver Jetbike Squads
1 Hellion Squad + 1 partial squad
2 Scourges (1 squad Splinter Cannons)(1 squad Dark Lances)
1 Talos

I dont plan to totally stop playing my DE. But to give me more bang for my buck. And until they make a new codex (haha) it will allow me to use most of my army as count-as models in another.

Ive always wanted to play regular Eldar so what sort of force to use? And since I have the ground work for an army it wont be has expensive to start them out.
