Topic: What would happen if there was an HQ unit for the Dark Eldar that would make the Reavers unit into a Troops choice (like the Baron does for Hellions)?

I'd play Dark Eldar.

That would be utterly badass honestly

I would make an army of them and nothing else.

Favorite unit in the codex, best looking, favorite rules. Wish they were a little cheaper points-wise, but they're mostly worth it with the buffs from 6th.

I'd love that, currently, I have trouble fitting them into my list, they just cost so much. Would be cool if it's another female HQ as well!

I've been thinking about that pretty much ever since the current codex came out (that is also when I started my DE) and I did create rules for a generic character that made them troops.

If you want to playtest with friends: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/407756.page


EDIT: Yes I am shamelessly linking my own creations around

Personally I love the Reavers, I MAKE Space for them as they cause serious amounts of havocs against mob armies.

Gaovinni I REALLY like the rule you came up with I'm going to check with my garage hammer buddies to see if I can do that, it's too good NOT to use

It means I'd gain 1-2 more scoring units. Which would be awesome.

I got into DE because of the Reavers, Venoms, and the flyers. I just love their look and am very happy with how they perform on the table top.

If the DE codex had one glaring flaw its that the only HQ options to have better than infantry movement is the Baron and Vect if you take the Dias of Destruction. What I wouldn't give to be able to stick an Archon on a bike.
