Dark Eldar

In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Dark Eldar are a Kindred of the Eldar, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed, though they are often lacking in resilience. They are the thematic equivalent of the Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves, and indeed Dark Elves in general. Because of their affinity for bloodlust and inflicting pain on their foes, they are generally considered an evil race and the miniatures reflect this, with spikes and jagged armour plates being common features.

Famous quotes containing the word dark:

    Keep the home fires burning,
    While your hearts are yearning,
    Though your lads are far away
    They dream of home.
    There’s a silver lining
    Through the dark cloud shining;
    Turn the dark cloud inside out,
    Till the boys come home.
    Lena Guilbert Ford (1870–1916)
