You may soon start to see your Drukhari arriving in sleek new packaging, ahead of their upcoming codex release, and with it comes a sneak peek at some of the rules you can expect to see in the near future.
Pouring from their Raider transports in search of slaves and plunder, Kabalites have always looked to close with their prey, and now they’re even more capable of swift and bloody close combat than before. A quick glance at their digested datasheet shows a crucial extra Attack in their profile, which if you ask us has been a long time coming for these agile and wickedly sharp raiders.*
As well as the warriors themselves, the guns they carry are also seeing a few changes. Chief among them is the fearsome splinter cannon, which now deals 2 Damage, making it a powerful deterrent to any would-be defenders of Humanity.**
The Drukhari codex may have been delayed in the webway, but will soon be descending on Mankind as the first xenos codex release of 2021. We know aeldari players of all stripes (and their Battle Sister opponents) will be eager to see how the denizens of Commorragh have changed, so make sure you stay tuned to Warhammer Community for more information as we get closer to the pre-order.
In the meantime, pick up a few boxes of Drukhari and you might get to see an early preview of their new profiles yourself. Pick them up in-store and you’ll be able to snap up this month’s commemorative models too, and once you’ve painted them up be sure to show them off on Twitter and Instagram so we can see your work.
* They’re not the only ones getting a close-combat boost either, check out the Incubi we previewed earlier.
** It looks like the splinters are heavier now, which we’re sure must be related.
