Dark Eldar Coven Information
There is some information coming in now on the new Dark Eldar Coven supplement that is part of the Archon limited edition and coming up here for pre-orders. Of course this is still very early information, but if you are planning on running Wracks, Talos, or Grotesques', this looks like the way to go.
Please take these as rumors, until we get the official release. there is a lot of room for error until release day. I removed point costs etc, from this bit.
