As i am going through the codex Drukhari to make a crusade force, my mind is filled with memories of them.
And, oh boy, let me tell you how much I hate and love them !
It started with enthousiasm and quickly become bitter. Why ? Because I couldn& #39;t win #WarhammerCommunity 1/9

1999 beginning of V3 and it was the first time I witnessed the release of a new army.
At this time, I was deep down into reading the adventures of the famous dark elf Drizzt Do& #39;Urden.
I was so hyped by Dark Eldar! The plastic kabalite warrior kit was amazing modelling wise ! 2/9

I decided to paint them like D&d Dark elf, white hair, red eyes, black skin lot of purple and spiders theme.
My army& #39;s lore was all about skilled warriors, looking for challenge and despising useless cruelty. There was room for lore at this time as v3 codex were very poor 3/9

So after weeks of batch speed painting, with a fresh new lore, I went on the battlefield with my new army.
And, oh boy, I got my ass whooped... More than once...
I was unable to win or even be a correct challenge.
And slowly the hate grew 4/9

Until I kicked my own ass and started from scratch. I realised this army couldn& #39;t be played like others. I had to think carefully.
I understood new concept, hit qnd run, splitting the enemy force, using my mobility.
Slowly i got better and finaly I started to win some games 5/9

I had learnt the hard way how to analyse and rethink my tactics qnd strategy. It has been a valuable lesson.
I kept playing them and getting better. But time passed, their codex got old and outdated. It became funnier to play other armies
My dark eldar started to collect dust 6/9

Until one famous day, after a friendly tournament, a friend told me playing tyranids (my main army) was autowin, he told me that a true challenge would be to play Dark Eldar (weakest army).
I accepted the challenge and trained again.
At the next tournament, I won it with DE ! 7/9

I made peace with Dark Eldar, waited a long time for their new codex (12 years ?), Loved having more lore and played them on a regular basis.
But one day, after a stupid accident, I broke all the flying bases of my many raiders and reavers. I stored and stopped using them! 8/9

Finaly, thanks to Scykhe on Parade, I fixed them all. And now as I love the new codex, I am really hyped to play them again !!
Love and hate with some bitterness, I think that& #39;s quite in theme with the army
