30.07.2010 Today's Reading; Kaspar’s trained eye swept the length of the wall and took in the lethal nature of the defences. Machicolations were cunningly wrought within the decorative gargoyles at the wall head and smoke curled lazily upwards from prepared braziers on the ramparts. The precise construction of the protruding
towers and gatehouse ensured that every yard of rocky ground before the walls was a killing zone, covered by crossbows and cannon fire. Teugenheim’s descriptions scarce did the scale of the fortifications any justice and Kaspar knew from bitter experience that an attacker would pay a fearsome toll in blood to breach these walls.
What you must know ! Inhabiting a realm called Commorragh, a place as dark and twisted as its rulers, the Dark Eldar launch piratical raids across the length and breadth of the galaxy. Their only purpose is to cause mayhem, steal, pillage and most importantly, to capture fresh victims to return home with. If any race could properly be called evil, it would be the Dark Elder. Devious, vain, and totally self-serving, they hold no respect for any living creature, not even themselves. Revelling in the pain and suffering they inflict, to be captured by them is a fate far worse than death. If you like the idea of leading an army of elite, murderous raiders, then the Dark Eldar are for you.
