In a tribute to the Eldar god of war – Kaela Mensha Khaine - these terrifying warriors wear a skull-shaped mask when roaming the battlefield. Opting for heavy armour and even heavier weapons, these fearsome units can deal serious damage in a circle around their target. While formidable, the only drawback to the Dark Reapers is that their heavy weaponry needs to be set up before firing.
General Notes[]
The Dark Reapers are the Eldar's heavy weapon infantry (like Space Marine Devastators or Ork Deffgun Lootas), needing setup and teardown time. They do AoE True damage; this can make them surprisingly effective at a large range against Infantry squads, and they do at least some damage to vehicles.
However, note that their melee attack is pitiful so tying them up in melee is a very effective counter, and their setup/teardown time is quite slow; they are one of the only units that can reliably be hit by Artillery with delayed explosions. Also, unlike the heavy weapons infantry of the Marines or Orks their attacks do not have a default option that slows their targets; they need a Doctrine to get this ability while in the field of effect of a Webway Gate.
