Drazhar, Master of Blades

Drazhar may only join units of Incubi. However, any unit of Incubi that he joins becomes Fearless as long as he is in the unit. Drazhar also has the Klaivex powers 'Onslaught' and 'Murderous Assault'.

At the beginning of any round of close combat in which Drazhar is involved, he may move to any part of the same combat where there is room to place him. He must be placed in base-to-base contact with an enemy model and remain in coherency with any unit he has joined.

When Drazhar makes an armour save of 6 in close combat he may make a single bonus attack at his basic Strength, directed at the unit that caused the wound, and made at the same Initiative step.

A unit with this rule may assault in the same turn in which it has run.

When the Night Fighting mission special rule is in use, such models may choose to re-roll the test to determine how far they can see, but must abide by the new result. Characters with this rule confer it onto any unit they join, as long as they are part of the unit. Units with this rule confer it onto any characters joining them, as long as they are part of the unit.

Whenever a Dark Eldar unit with this rule destroys a non-vehicle enemy unit, it immediately gains a 'pain token'. Place a marker with that unit; a coin or other trophy will do. Each pain token confers a special rule to the entire unit, as shown in the list below. For example, a unit with one pain token has the Feel No Pain rule, one with two pain tokens has Feel No Pain and Furious Charge, etc. It might happen that several of your units are involved in a combat against one or more enemy units, which are destroyed because of the assault's results. In this case, you receive one pain token per enemy unit destroyed, and then randomly assign them amongst your units in that combat. Note that pain tokens can be gained by other means - some units even begin the game with one!

1 - Feel No Pain

2 - Furious Charge

3 or more - Fearless

If a Dark Eldar unit is joined by one or more characters with pain tokens, all the pain tokens for the unit and characters that have joined it are pooled. If an Independent Character leaves a unit with one or more pain tokens, you must divide them as equally as possible. The owning player decides who gets any remaining tokens.

Independent characters follow the Movement rules for models of their type, be it infantry, jump infantry, bike, etc. In addition, independent characters can move through difficult terrain more quickly and safely than ordinary troops. All independent characters have the ‘move through cover’ and ‘skilled rider’ special rules. This advantage does not extend to any vehicles they may be travelling in.

Independent characters are allowed to join other units. They cannot, however, join vehicle squadrons (see the Vehicles section) and units that always consist of a single model (like most vehicles and monstrous creatures). They can join other independent characters though, to form a powerful multi-character unit!

The model is immune to the effects of the Instant Death rule.

Fearless troops automatically pass all Morale and Pinning tests they are required to take, and will never fall back. They can however go to ground voluntarily. This special rule is gained by any independent character joining a fearless unit. However, as long as a fearless character stays with a unit that is not fearless, he loses this special rule. If a unit that is falling back suddenly gains this rule, it will automatically regroup at the beginning of its next Movement phase, regardless of all normal restrictions on regrouping.

Note: units with the Fearless ability are subject to the No Retreat! rule.

Demiklaives are power weapons that can either be wielded separately - adding +2 to the bearer's Attacks - or clasped together to form a much larger blade that confers +2 to the wielder's Strength (choose which to use each round before the bearer makes his attacks).
