Fortress of Corruption? Fortress of Depravation? Fortress of Pervesion? of Debasement?

In any event, it seems to me that the Dark Eldar can staff the two weapon annexes (plus a brace of heavy bolters) cheaper than any other army in the game without having to sacrifice limited FOC slots. With a haemonculus, they can pick up units of Wracks for 30 points per unit, which comes with Feel No Pain built in. And it even gives you a firing station for some trueborn if you like. What does everyone else think? Silliness, or actually viable? I've used it twice now, and I'm undecided on whether or not it's points efficient.

Lol I'd love to see a "Fortress of Perversion" on the table myself. Far less obnoxious than stock standard FoR.

The fort can also be great cover, maybe even total cover, for your skimmers. I reckon it could work well enough and its certainly interesting

You Sir, have inspired me.

I have access to uh... equipment such as a laser cutter, 3D printer and torture room (see the images I've posted through my profile). I've constructed a 2.4 meter MDF Citadel wall before and am part way through a Warlord Titan, I'm sure a Dark Eldar Fortress of Perversion would be a nice side-project

They GKs can man it cheaper. 3 Warrior Aco for 12pts. I prefer to put a purg squad firing the missiles since they don't need LOS and you never have LOS with those missiles.

Thought about this. If you have Coteaz, they can indeed make it cheaper. (Although the models manning it will have lower BS and no FNP) And while the Purgs can indeed fire the missiles and still get their BS to reduce it, they will automatically give up a 4+ cover save. On the other hand, the Vindicare assassin firing the missiles will still have to scatter, but can allocate all the wounds himself, while simultaneously removing Look Out Sir from the equation.

I think one benefit to the thing is that it's a huge LOS blocker. I'd like to see one with 3 Prescienced Deathstrikes behind it and a couple of ablative PIS up front to take the charges until the things get to fire.

Sounds amazing - who expects DE to show up with AV14, anyway? I'm going to have to try it, too.

I like to use it to shield my Ravagers and Reavers. They can always jump on top of the battlements, and in a Sliscus list, that many units on the table (the fortress will have 2-4 inside of it, plus another 2-4 between my Ravagers and Reavers) gives me a lot of room to Deep Strike other things.
