Power from Pain

Codex: Dark Eldar, p. 5

When any unit (friend or foe) is slain/wrecked, 1 unit with this special rule within 12" of the slain/wrecked can gain 1 Pain Token. You may also instead opt to bank the Pain Token in your pool. At the start of each of your Movement Phases, you can allocate any number of Pain Tokens in your pool to units in your army with this special rule. A unit gains the following benefits based on how many Pain Tokens it has. The effects of all Tokens are cumulative:

  • 1 Pain Token: A unit with 1 Pain Token gains the Feel no Pain (5+) special rule.
  • 2 Pain Tokens: A unit with 2 Pain Tokens gains the Fleet special rule.
  • 3 Pain Tokens: A unit with 3 Pain Tokens gains +1 to its Attacks (A) characteristic.
  • 4 Pain Tokens: A unit with 4 Pain Tokens gains the Stubborn special rule.
