| Lelith | 90 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 8 | 3 | 9 | 6+ |
A Dark Eldar Wych army of at least 1,500 points may be led by Lelith. If she is used, she counts as the army's Archite, and no other Archite may be fielded. If you decide to take her then she counts as an HQ choice for the army. She must be used exactly as described below, and may not be given any extra equipment.
Wargear: Agoniser, splinter pistol, shadow field and a lethal collection of Wych weapons.
Special Rules
Independent Character: Unless accompanied by a Retinue, Lelith is an independent character and follows all the Independent Character special rules as given in the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook.
Wych Weapons: This is a broad category that represents all the various instruments of pain used by the gladiatorial Wyches, such as shardnets, impalers, hydraknives and razorsnares. These have the following effects:
- No member of a squad fighting Lelith in close combat counts as being equipped with an additional close combat weapon.
- All enemies with an unmodified Strength below 6 halve their WS characteristic (rounding up) for attacks made against Lelith. Models with a Strength of 6 or more are unaffected.
Wych Army: Lelith may only be taken as the leader of a Wych army. Her Wych army is chosen from the Dark Eldar army list with the following changes:
- Wych squads count as a Troops choice rather than an Elite choice.
- Warrior and Raider squads are Elite choices instead of Troop choices.
- The following troop types can not be used: Archons, Archites, Haemonculi, Grotesques & Talos.
Lelith's Retinue: Lelith may be accompanied by a Retinue in the same manner as a Dark Eldar Lord. If she has a Retinue it must be made of Wyches rather than Dark Eldar Warriors or Incubi. Each Wych model costs 12 points, and the Retinue may include up to 10 models. The normal options, upgrades and special rules used by a Wych squad apply to Lelith's Retinue. However, as the Wyches in Lelith's Retinue are an Elite force, you may choose which combat drug option they use.
Designer's Note: Lelith can only be taken as the leader of a Wych army, and can't be included in a normal Dark Eldar army. This can cause problems if all you want is to add Lelith to your 'ordinary' Dark Eldar army. However, if you use the rules for taking several armies as a joint force (see page 131 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook), then you can take Lelith and a small contingent of as little as two squads of five Wyches each as an 'ally' for a Dark Eldar force.
