I have these models, and I have no idea what they are. I think they are dark eldar, from '98. The metal name plate says something like 'svbrrite'. Ideas?

I don't want the best army, just one that isn't an exercise in picking up my models by turn 3.

Ahhhhhhh. Sorry, the index doesn't have them listed in the back for whatever reason, and I'm not familiar enough with our dark brethren to recognize them off hand. Thanks!

Back in those days a Sybarite was like a Space Marine Captain or Archon Jr. They were a lesser hero level character.
Nowadays they are just the unit champion for Trueborn.
You can use them for pretty much whatever you want. They could be an archon too for all intents and purposes.
Actually (and this is me being pedantic) the Captain or Archon Jr. was called the Dracon in the 3E book. The Sybarite was a Sargent equivalent (had his own blister too).

Beat me to it. Have an exalt.
What you're looking at is basically a sergeant for a kabalite warrior squad. The dracon doesn't really have a model and is the squad leader for a trueborn squad. The old sybarites are also some of the models that I personally feel have aged pretty well.
ATTENTION. Psychic tests are unfluffy. Your longing for AV is understandable but misguided. Your chapter doesn't need a separate codex. Doctrines should go away. Being a "troop" means nothing. This has been a cranky service announcement. You may now resume your regularly scheduled arguing.

They look excellent. They will make great a great addition to my budding DE force.

Oops, yes you are correct. For some reason I had sybarite in my head. oh well.
Square Bases for Life!
AoS is pure garbage
Kill Primaris, Kill the Primarchs. They don't belong in 40K
40K is fantasy in space, not sci-fi
An understandable mistake they have messed with old DE terminology a lot. They used to Archon, Dracon, Sybarite for the Kabalite equivalent of Chapter Master, Captain, Sergeant and Archite, Drachite, Succubus for the Wych cult equivalent.
Ironically, I got a 3rd DE codex in the mail with an ebay lot the other day, so now I see what the deal is.
