Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right thread, but anyway..
I'm just trying to find details on some of the notable dark eldar raids/wars, but can't seem to find any info at all.
Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction or link me to a useful website that has this info?
Would be VERY much appreciated!

The TWO codices and possibly the old OOP Imperial Armour II (which featured TWO DE fliers) are pretty much it. They don't have the depth of history of Eldar or Marines or Orks because they haven't been around for as long (hell, even Necrons have been around longer).

I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...
... and yet, with strange aeons, even death may die.

Yeah, they have barely any listed wars for DE, let alone detailed campaigns

DE don't fight WARS.
They fight skirmishes and perform raids.

There's a story in the Let the Galaxy Burn anthology about an Imperial that's captured and sent to Commaragh.

Nasty Nob on a Boar
Inside of a CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT
|
Midnight On The Street Of Knives is a good short story about them. It doesnt deal with a major fight, but it shows the Commoragh culture pretty well.
