Slaver squad - A new Dark Eldar Troop choice
  Return to New Units
By Dan Moore,  February 3, 2003     e-mail
Introduction:
The Dark Eldar are notorious space raiders that make quick strikes against other worlds for goods and slaves.  While Warrior and Raider squads form the backbone for most strike forces, Slaver squads are included to insure that plenty of fresh captives are returned to the arenas and laboratories of Commorragh.  They employ a variety of non-lethal weaponry and use specially equipped Despoiler transports to gather slaves.  The mere presence of a Slaver squad or two on the battlefield can be very demoralizing to enemy troops.
