heh - I wish (I had technically applied though didn't hear anything back, maybe I'll try again later. )
This stuff will be updated to 6th before too long (hopefully by the end of January.) Taranis will be... tricky to balance with the new rules... (May also need a rule to stop you autolosing with no models on the field...)

Needs a ground squad to call in an air strike, kinda like tau marker lights but can only be placed on objectives and marker lights divided by objectives is the % of your planes you can have on the field, so if one gets destroyed you can bring another on but you can still bring them all on turn 4. Eh that'd be kinda weird, maybe have marker be a reaver/hellion model so it looks more like a scout
Also this needs booby trapped meat shield slaves and their constant pain causes some 6" buff to nearby troops

Subject: Re:Ovions Dark Eldar Extended Codex: Converting to 6th + Enslaved races.
So, I've been slowly working on updating things to 6th, but this is a little side project I've been working on. Another new unit - the Kabalite Slave Band - a collection of slaves taken from the pits and pushed into battle for their masters pleasure, from captured enemies equipped with tattered rags cobbled together from the equipment of a dozen races, to vicious tyranids captured and reduced to slathering beasts to be used like the lions of old.
(Be forewarned - it's quite large, there's a fairly large amount of choice here, but it allows for a very fluffy, diverse unit.)
So - I'm starting to covnert things to 6th ed. Comments!?
Eh'khas-haedrine, Lord of Broken Spires / The Mad Kingfirst
Spoiler:
Army: Dark Eldar BG: Eh'khas-haedrine, The Master of the Shattered Spire sits upon a broken throne, cackling at the open sky atop a once beautiful tower in High Commoragh that now stands split into two jagged fingers stabbing upwards.
Ever known as The Mad King, Eh’khas-haedrine is a genocidal Archon, who was always relatively unstable even by Dark Eldar standards and rose to power with several rather bold assassinations, that succeeded due in equal parts to their daring and the kabalites sheer disregard for himself and those around him.
Knowing his methods of ascension to the throne of the Kabal of the Bloody Thorn, and that such things were the commonplace (if not so visible) way to gain power, he was 'prepared' when a number of his Kabal turned against him.
The mad king detonated numerous high powered charges he had planted within his domain, explosions killing his would be usurpers, and cracking open his once grand towers, toppling many and exposing his throne room to the sky with little more than charred beams for decoration, leaving him with dreadful scars that he has thus far refused to heal, not trusting the Haemonculi and preferring to keep them as a reminder of his own Kabals treachery.
Following these events (and many suspect due to brain damage either existing or caused by his own bombs) with the aid of his court mercenaries he hunted down and executed every Kabalite Eldar formerly under his command, believing it was the only way to be assure his continued rule. He leaves his fortress in tatters to serve as a warning to any who might oppose him to the dangers of doing so, instead installing powerful energy shields to protect his throne room he sits atop a shattered spire, surrounding himself with the only creatures in Commoragh he believes are safe, their loyalty bought with coin and gem.
FO: HQ Squad: Eh'khas-haedrine, Lord of Broken Spires Unit: The Mad King, Points Per: 120, Models: 1*, Unit Type: Infantry (Character), WS-6, BS-6, S-3, T-3, W-2, I-6, A-3(4), Ld-9, Sv-4+(6+*)/2+*.

Possibly, but the loyalty of his forces is secured by money and they want to protect the cashflow - it's still less than a regular archon, but I will consider it.
