Okay, this is not actually a new toy for Dark Eldar - but the use for it other than allowing an alternate reserve arrival point is something new...and I'd like to call it the Webway Prison. Basically its a small blast marker that counts as impassable terrain so here are a few applications for using the prison:

01. Two WWPs could be dropped near something like a Land Raider - one directly in front of the vehicle and one directly behind the vehicle = result, the vehicle can no longer move from its current position.

02. In the Capture and Mission mission it would be possible to deploy a Troop unit near your deployment zone objective marker, then drop WWPs around it - preventing enemy units from getting near that objective marker...you could then simply contest (or capture) the opposing objective marker.

03. Consider a large based enemy model - potential close combat killer ( Trygon..Dreadnought..Wraithlord..Etc ) place three of the WWPs in a clover pattern with spaces between the marker = as the Land Raider example above, the model could no longer move the rest of the game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010074.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010074.page GMT Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison HQ can take webway portals.

There is a flaw though...jump and jet units can simply bypass impassable terrain. Eldar wouldn't even blink an eye. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010263.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010263.page GMT Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison

Right, attach Haemonculi (with WWP) to a Raider based unit (Wracks)

Right, not full proof obviously because of "flight" types - but still viable (wouldn't call it a flaw though).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010872.page GMT Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison DE have the time to nitpick around setting up the perfect WWP "trap". just kill or "capture" the thing and be done with it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010913.page GMT Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison CC Geared model. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010951.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010951.page GMT Re:Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison
You might pull it off once or twice, but I bet the times you fail will just be sad.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010966.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2010966.page GMT Dark Eldar - The Webway Prison HQ choices and having to re-adjust your tactics simply to have a go at trapping a LR is simply a bad idea.

1: You need at least 2 Web Portals. Costly, and needs 2 HQ choices in position.

2: Getting your HQ's in position before/without getting shot up.

3: Only works on some units, many can simply ignore the effects.

4: Trapped units can still shoot, and will most likely cause serious damage on your Webway units which arrive or are left in the open after activating the portals.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2011191.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/321636/2011191.page GMT
