They always cause one point of damage on 4+, though any 5+ is causing two points of damage. Very much like bright lances with one significant change. This makes them a smart tool with loads of powerful tactics to build on them.
If you take a closer look at the gunnery table in the rulebook, you will recognise the significant change in efficiency compared to ordinary weapon batteries. The Dark Eldar however ignore these modifiers and treat any target as closing in instead. Usually weapon batteries suffer a right shift, for being fired targets passing by or departing from your ships position. A basic mechanic in Battlefleet Gothic are shifts on the gunnery table to take distance, target size and movement into account when determining the actual efficiency of some broadside. These do work quite like Eldar weapon batteries and are therefore quite superior to other races.
Dark Eldar weapons, as with any other force can be split into actual weapons and ordnance, such as torpedoes and flyers and direct weaponry such as lances and weapon batteries. Others are entirely unique to the dark kin. Some of the latter are quite alike their Eldar equivalents. To compensate this, DE ships rely on high speed, maneuverability (both of which are kind of more streamlined then their Eldar counterparts) and of course fearsome weapons. They are very fragile, though not as paper built like their Eldar Pirates counterparts, yet still not that durable. If you play the dark kin in Warhammer 40k, you will find yourself relatively comfortable fielding them in Battlefleet Gothic as well. Today I’d like to take a look on Dark Eldar weaponry and some basic information on ship types. Welcome to the second part of my Dark Eldar theme week.
