"The Dark Eldar are pure evil in its most sickening and elemental sense. Sadists and murders all, they infest the hidden city of Commorragh, a hellish realm far from the eyes of mortal men. Their lightning-fast terror attacks upon realspace are legendary, for the act of war gives them literal sustenance, prolonging their lives and filling their slender frames with stolen energies until they can move like quicksilver and shrug off bullet wounds with hollow laughter." quote from GW website
