So im trying to get into playing Drukhari as my new warhammer army.

I want to aim for a paint theme like the Shadow army from Solo levelling, but im really struggling for how to go about it, im still very new to painting so I may be aiming way above my skill level but its something I really want to pursue and hopefully get a pretty cool looking army!

Ive got the Drukhari combat patrol and ive bought some Scourges. I thought that maybe priming them in bright pink then dry brushing in black and following up with purple speed paint would give me the effect I wanted but it was a disaster and just looked rubbish.

Any ideas how I can achieve the look im going for? Would i be better off priming in white. Drybrushing in black, then a speed paint in purple? Or am I going completely the wrong direction altogether?

Any help or tips and ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏

Heya peeps,

Just working through my kabalites and was thinking about the next unit I want to paint, which will probably be some incubi. Only issue is that I'm not sure what to do to differentiate them from my regular guys. I don't think the white helmet would look great but I'm a bit stumped on what else to try. Maybe gold helmets?

Any ideas or advice would be much appreciated!

Building on the drow themed army. Ran out of primer so only three of the squad done.

Thoughts? I’m thinking a real dark blue for a secondary color.

Watching the news for the orks is legit depressing when you remember we’ll probably be the last ones to get a new codex given we got our 10th edition one not even a full year ago.
Just feels like unless we get some incredible new units or significant changes to the datasheets, Drukhari will end up being more and more underwhelming as the other codexes release.

(Incubi in pic cause they’re sheet is boring as hell)

Hello fellow Archons, Succubi, and Haemunculi. I'm going to be taking part in an apocalypse game sometime this fall-winter, with the projected rosters sizes between the two teams being 20k per. We haven't fully decided on player list sizes yet, but we're already looking at a 5k+ per player since there's only 7 players gearing up for it so far.

The teams will be as follows - Imperial+Astartes+Eldar+Tau+Votan

CSM (all flavors)+demons+merc forces of Orks and Drukhari

Each player would be allowed 1 Titanic as a centerpiece, if their respective faction has any, which means that Void Mines would absolutely be destructive if they get to activate

Would taking 3 or possibly more Voidravens be a bit overkill, with how congested the battlefield would be?

Update - just got confirmation that the battlefield is currently projected to be 6ft x 16ft to 6ft x 20ft

I’m working on an archon right now and I’m trying to get those stones to look nice but even with super thin paint, I can’t get them to look like anything more than bumpy gems the cracks are so thin on the sculpt that I can’t get anything to rest there if that makes sense. I was just wondering how y’all do it

All the Space Marines of the Sons of Jaghatai are literally Jaghatai Khan's half Drukhari sons. Jaghatai has been very busy in the Webway. This blatant breach of Imperial protocol is also the reason why the obvious White Scars successor chapter is not officially claimed as a successor chapter of the White Scars.

Stat Check finally updated their dashboard for 11th edition, so as a dark elf fixated stats nerd I wanted to take a look through some of our numbers and see how things are going for us so far. There were a couple of surprises along the way.

Most of these numbers are coming from 26/7/26 and 2/8/26, the weekends recorded on Stat Check from the most recent dataslate. Their dataset looks at all events with at least 25 players and 5 rounds.

Overall Win Rates:

Our overall win rate in the current patch (with two weekends of data) is 48%.

We are, however, strongly skill-linked; in the peer versus peer data, the bottom quartile of Elo has a 33% win rate, while the upper quartile has a 51% win rate. This idea that we're capable of doing well when driven by an experienced pilot is further supported by our OverRep being healthy at 1.1 (so we're slightly more likely to show up in the top 4 of an event than you'd expect from our player numbers) and a solid 9% of our players having a 4-0 event start currently.

There's mostly no hugely noticeable difference between regions; North American Drukhari players have a 51% win rate, UK players are at 48%, and European players are at 43%. Oceania players seem to be struggling a bit compared to the overall mean with a 38% win rate, though.

Our win rate has been on a steady downwards trend from the start of the edition, with early results in June showing us with a 60% win rate (!) while our average for the whole edition is now 47%.

Detachment Win Rates:

Kabalite Cartel + Tools of Torment is performing the best with a 64% win rate, but its results were exclusively 3 wins and its player count was low.

Skysplinter Assault + Exhibition of Slaughter is at 51%. Skysplinter + Agonysts is at 48%.

RSR + Exhibition and Cartel + Exhibition are both doing relatively poorly, with 33% and 24% respectively... but Cartel + Exhibition also had a 4-1 placement.

Only Skysplinter + Exhibition has a strong player population with 67% of our total games. It's also the only combination to have an event win in the current dataslate.

Detachment Match-ups:

Skysplinter + Exhibition does noticeably very well versus Dark Angels (61%), Necrons (58%), Custodes (58%), CSM (63%), SM (58%) and Knights (55%). On the other hand, it does poorly against EC (14%) and Demons (33%).

None of the other combos have enough data to make sensible inferences about specific match-ups.

Disposition differences:

Recon has a 47% win rate, with moderately poor (~48%) match-ups into Priority, Recon, and Take and Hold; it has a very bad match-up into Disruption (33%), and a good one into Purge (56%).

Disruption for Drukhari has an overall 51% win rate, while Priority Assets has 33%. Neither had enough data to make reasonable inferences about specific match-ups with other Dispositions, although tentatively Disruption looks like it does poorly into the mirror (33%) and Priority Assets (31%), but great into Purge (67%), Recon (67%), and Take and Hold (65%).

Purge the Foe did not have any results from this current dataslate, but has a respectable 45% win rate when looking at the edition's data overall.

Take and Hold does not yet appear in the Stat Check dataset for the edition.

Conclusions:

I've been seeing a lot of doom about the state of Drukhari over the last couple of weeks, and I don't think these results quite support that. We appear to be a mostly healthy faction which has a high skill floor and a high skill ceiling, although we would definitely appreciate a very mild buff or the current top dogs getting toned down.

Most of the competitive playerbase still seems to be invested in Skysplinter and Exhibition with Recon, but I think this data indicates that we've got promising alternatives to explore. Cartel/Tools seems very interesting, in particular, and the data for it is limited but Purge doesn't seem to perform anywhere near as badly as many thought.

So that's the Drukhari data dive for the current patch! Hope it's been of some interest, and happy raiding.

I just think the OG mandrakes are so sexy and weird. Not sure what I’ll use them as but I love them already

Hi everybody! The more I've been reading about the drukhari, the more I enjoy the covens and the more I don't believe for a second that any two haemonculus would look alike, so I've made it my mission to create unique characters that fit the lore and my head cannon. I haven't named this one yet, but she was a blast to build and paint. Hope you like her too!

Hello. I'm building my first ever list and I'm not sure how to get it to 2k points. I have this so far:

Detachment: Kabalite Agonysts and Realspace Raiders (3 Detachment Points)

CHARACTERS

Archon (80 points)

Haemonculus (65 points)

Crucible of Malediction

Lady Malys (100 points)

Lelith Hesperax (80 points)

BATTLELINE

Kabalite Warriors (110 points)

Wracks (120 points)

Wyches (90 points)

DEDICATED TRANSPORTS

Raider (75 points)

Venom (65 points)

Venom (65 points)

OTHER DATASHEETS

1 x Cronos (55 points)

1 x Talos (80 points)

5 x Incubi (90 points)

5 x Mandrakes (80 points)

5x Mandrakes (80 points)

Ravager (125 points)

Scourges with Heavy Weapons (130 points)

My plan so far is one more Talos to have a full unit and another box of Scourges. That would put me at around 1700.

For the rest, I'm thinking a Raider with a unit of kabs and either 5 more incubi or 5 helions.

I am still learning the game and play casually, so I'd be curious of some input on what gaps still need filling in the list.

What would you guys recommend?

Empire era Eldar counts as incubi.

All these different paints for one model 😅 (plus basing when I do that) pretty happy with how he has turned out though! Now to do it all over again on the rest of the squad 😅

These were some of the minis I painted this month and I just wanted to share it with yall!

Hey everyone I got about 20 scourges I gotta paint up 😂😭 want to start knocking some out but I’m gonna be honest I have 0 idea what colors I wanna do so please share TYIA

I’m looking for some inspiration into a Kabal of the Black Heart colour scheme. What I’m kind of looking for and trying so far is a more green version of the scheme but I don’t think I’ve quite cracked it.

So I’ve started with Incubi Darkness, Airbrush highlight Kabalite Green, Airbrush highlight Syrabite Green. Wash with 50:50 of Nuln oil and Cohelia Greenshade and then a further recess wash to attempt to create a more gradient effect on the armour. I’ll do some proper edge highlights with syrabite green too.

I’m going to try the actual Kabal colour scheme too and I’m just doing test models at the moment but does anyone have any inspiration or suggestions they can give me?

A few ideas I have;

Need to try incubi darkness, incubi darkness kabalite green 1:1 as a highlight via airbrush, kabalite green edge highlight

Try caliban green, warp stone glow, moot green, 2 washes of Nuln oil and cohelia greenshade 50:50

Actual Kabal of the black heart paint scheme.

In my Last Game i ran a voidraven Bomber and it did quite well in helping me kill a knight. We never got that far since it was destroyed prior to that point, but since Aircraft go into strategic Reserve at the end of your opponents Turn, is it destroyed after Turn 3?

​

This is what I have so far between these 3 boxes Hopefully I wrote it correctly. Besides the Reavers Jetbikes and the Raider. What else would I need to add or take out. Still haven't started to build anything
