He connects the pleasure of discovering their role in the Fall to reading new revelations in the Horus Heresy novels, arguing that carefully developed answers can be as exciting as the setting’s enduring mysteries.

Jes Goodwin tells Andy Hall how a long redevelopment gave the Dark Eldar room to become a distinct culture and miniature range. Their survival through stolen vitality, loss of psychic gifts and physically manufactured equipment distinguish them from their Craftworld cousins. The interview follows that thinking into serrated Kabalite armour, interchangeable kits, airborne transports and running Wyches, then explains the specialised silhouettes of Reavers, Hellions, Incubi and monstrous Mandrakes. Removable Raider passengers and shared components make the visual ideas useful to collectors as well as evocative.
