How do the Anhrathe mix with Craftworld, Ynare and Dark Eldar rules? Spesifically if you loose rules in detachments.

The ynare can't take them it seems. But I am unsure now they work in craftworld and especially in dark eldar detachemntes. Do they get the Craftworld traits? What about the dark eldar, do they get power from pain? Do they count as mercaneries and don't mix up the other traits?

Sincerly

They have the ASURYANI and DUKHARI Faction Keywords.

As Goonhammer sums it up: “Corsairs have an interesting mix of keywords – they have both ASURYANI and DRUKHARI – but can’t count as one of your compulsory unit choices in a detachment unless every unit in the detachment has the ANHRATHE keyword.”

Anhrathe can be included in Asuryani and Drukhari detachments since they have both of those keywords. They are forbidden from being in Ynnari detachments.

As they do not have Craftworld, Kabal, Coven, or Cult keywords, they never get any of those traits.

As the have the required keywords (both Asuryani and Drukhari), they do not prevent an Asuryani or Drukhari from benefiting from Strands of Fate or Power from Pain respectively.

Cool cool.

They do not get PowerFrom Pain, right?

"A unit’s datasheet will list all the abilities it has. Certain abilities that are common to many units are only referenced on the datasheets rather than described in full. These abilities are described below.

POWER FROM PAIN
As the Drukhari feed on the souls of the slain, they become imbued with supernatural might, eventually turning into killing machines.

This ability only applies if every unit in your army is a DRUKHARI or UNALIGNED unit. At the start of each battle round, this ability gains additional effects. These effects are cumulative."

It seems like they get the reavers of the void (on the datasheet) instead:

"Reavers of the Void: Each time a model in this unit makes an attack, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target (and is treated as an unmodified wound roll of 6)."

But would they benefit from Shards of Fate?

"If every unit from your army has the ASURYANI keyword and is drawn from the same craftworld (excluding units with the PHOENIX LORD, ANHRATHE or UNALIGNED keywords), then at the start of each battle round, you can make a Strands of Fate roll. To do so, roll six D6. You can then retain a number of these dice depending on the size of battle you are playing, as shown below."

It would seem so, and have the Reavers of the Void.

But it could be worth it for Dark Eldars to get pyskers. A lot of the blessing psyick powers are looking for eldar units (witch dark eldar are not.) But powers like Fatefull Divergence and smite could be good.

"FATEFUL DIVERGENCE

Exerting their will upon destiny, the psyker shifts the paths of fate to aid the fortunes of their people.

Blessing: Fateful Divergence has a warp charge value of 6. If manifested, you gain 1 Command point."

Sadly no @Niiai, Voidscarred and Voidreavers units lack the Strands of Fate ability in their Datasheet. So they can't benefit from it.
