I have been thinking and thinking a lot about this. FIrst turn assault with dark eldar garenteed almost every single time. If you take a dracite with a wych retinu on a raider and give them both 12 inch assault that is 27-32 inches in one turn. 252 points for having 2 agonizers or 1 agonizer at 224.

Maby it could redifine the raider rush in 4th edition. What do you all think.

It is awesome, but you only have a 1 in 6 chance of it happening.

Primarily because you can't "give" wyches drugs. They have to roll for them, and 12" assault only comes up once on the table...

I dont have my codex handy, but i thought the lord could choose the squads combat drugs.

Yeah but I thought that she didn't get the drugs, thus everyone has the 12" Charge but her, but she's stuck in the squad so no 12" charge till she drops. Correct?

Both incorrect.

The Wyches roll for their drugs independently at the beginning of the game.

If a character joins the Wyches, and wants to use the 12" assault of the Wyches, the character *must* select the 12" assault drug (in addition to any other drugs it wants to use that turn). Under normal circumstances, if you're playing cautiously, that means the character can only select one other drug with relative safety. It also means that you have to do your drug roll at the beginning of the turn rather than just before the combat begins, as is conventional among most DE players.

The dracite chooses her drugs the normal wyches ROLL for them!

You can get first turn assualts in a DE army with the 2 HQs and also with kroot allies if they float your boat and the wyches that roll the 12" assualt as their drug but that is it.

Have thought about doing it myself a few times, works with chaos aswell, infiltrate+speed.

Kroot squad and 2 HQs assualting on turn 1 will hurt alot of armies.
