I have been excited about a few things that I have seen for the new Dark Eldar, Scourges getting 4 special weapons per 5 models, the new Grotesques, Raiders seem to have gotten a nice boost being able to be taken as a fast attack slot, as well as not going up in points, and more. Lets jump ahead to see what the second half of the QnA brought out.......
Here is a link to the first section if you would like to check it out.

All missiles have the blast or Large blast rule. The void bomb is large blast now, Dark scythes that the voidraven can get instead of voidlances are 24", S 8, AP2, Blast, lance.
Could you detail Urien for us? Pt cost, stats, special rules, war gear?
Gnarlskin, CCW, Ichor Injector, Clone Field, FNP(4+), It will not Die, Night Vision, Master of Pain, PfP, Father of pain, Casket of Flensing.
So talos moving up with cronos have 4+ fnp? Would say a unit of 2 cronos give 4+ fnp to each other?
No, it affect the chronos it self as well. So one Chronos with spitit probe has FNP 4+.
Really liking the sound of grots though. Points stayed the same on them?
35 points for Grots...
Mandrakes cause fear as well. So they have: Fear, Fleet, Infiltrate, Move through cover, Night vision, PfP, Shrouded, stealth, Baleblast, CCW. A very nice unit.
Archon can buy his own Venom, and blasterborn can have venoms as well.
Finally justifying the fluff in the old codex- in the venom entry, something about the venom transporting a single passenger in STYLE. Archon in a Raider. PIMP.
Cant get a Raider, only venom.
Can archon take a gun other than the blaster and relic?
Blast pistol...
DE Archons are the true PIMPS of 40k. But no access to AP2 melee weapon.. So they cant accually kill anyone with a 2+.
Do sslyths have the bulky rule?
No, just FNP and Fleet.
What is Raider capacity?
As before
Can you take Warrior squad and IC in the same raider?
As before
What about bloodbrides - what do they bring to the normal Wyches?
As before
Who can take power lance?

Do Razorwings comes with missiles?
%.As before
So archon with court and lhaeman will make his agoniser 2+ poison ap3?
No, Lhamaean poison doesn't affect the archon.
Scorpion, could you clarify if chronos has anything other than increasing FNP within 6"?
Nothing more. Same weapons as before. It starts with a spirit syphon and can buy spirit vortex and spirit vortex. Vortex ans syphon do the same as before.
I'm getting hype here. Just a few questions - do Lhamaeans still have their 2+ poisoned CCW?
Yes
Also, is their cost the same?
10 points
Can I go with a Court full of Lhamaeans?
Yes, up to 12 of them.
Trueborn are min squadsize 5 correct? Are they otherwise unchanged?

Do mandrakes have any non-cover-save save?
No
What does a trilance Ravager cost?
125. 110 with D.C. 5 points for each lance.
so count an be made up of 12 of any model?
Yes
medusae have the ap3 s4 eye burst?
yes.
In the Wargear section there is a note that states that Venom blades are only for Acolyths but...
In the Solitaires option it reads that the solitaire can change his carbine for a blast pistol and a venom blade.
Trueborn don't get access to carbines, jetbikes have Hit & run.
Baleblast is 18"
5 points, making flat out 24"
Can Archons still take 2 blast pistols?
only one pistol
Was there any change to how many special weapons can be taken by a squad of Trueborn since the size increased from 3 to 5? (Still only 2 dark lances/splinter cannons and 4 blasters?)
No change
What exactly does the Wych special weapons do? Still trying to figure out something with the 100 wyches that I have Sad
2 Razorflails: AP5, Specialist weapon, re-roll to hit. Shardnet & Impaler: AP5, +1A, re-roll 1's to hit and wound. 2 Hydra Gauntlets: AP5, Shred, specialist weapon.
Is the Voidraven Bomber now 10/10/10 as rumored?
yes
Can any of the voidraven, razerwing, raider, ravager, venom or reavers jink and fire at full balistic skill or are they stuck snapfiring after jinking?
Only snapfiring
You mentioned that an acoultist is the only one that can use a venom blade. Can you confirm that scourges can no longer use a venom blade even though there is one that comes on their sprue?
Solitaire can get it too.
You mentioned Trueborn have the same weapon options. Please confirm that they can still use shardcarbines. Other rumors have identified this as an option that was removed.
It is indeed removed.
Can you confirm how beast packs work. Can you really take 12 of anything in any combination and don't even need to bring a beast master in the pack?
Yes, that is true.
Are there any new army specific rules for any of the units besides pfp?
No.
When you take a Talos or Chronos in a group of 3 do they stay as a unit on the table or do you purchase them together and then they act independently on the board?
Is states unit size 1-3.
R: 24" S1, AP", Assault 1, Fleshbane and if a non-vihicle is removed as casualty, that model's unit saffers D6 hits, Ignoring Cover, S = T of model removed and AP-.
Nice and 1 can be bought pr 5 wracks just like LG.
