– Djin blade became 33% more expensive


Artefacts:
— Animus Vitae
one use, assault 1, s4 ap2, 8″ if a unsaved wound is inflicted lets all Dark eldar add 1 to the turn number for PfP effects until the end of the game

— Archangel of Pain
once per game, all units within 9″ test Ld with a -2 penalty, then take a wound with no cover/armor saves for each point they failed. Sounds great BUT this does not work against ATSKNF!

— Djin Blade
AP3, +2 Attacks, after all attacks roll D6, on 1 the bearer suffers a wound with no saves
