Where as the Adeptus Arbites serve as the enforcers of Emperor's Law, the Sisters of Battle serve to enforce the Imperial religion, seeking out and destroying heretics that defy the Emperor's Will. In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Sisters of Battle, also known as the Orders Militant of the Adepta Sororitas (often mislabeled as Adeptus Sororitas), are the female warriors belonging to the Ecclesiarchy, the religious arm of the Imperial government also known as the Adeptus Ministorum, and devotedly serve the God-Emperor. It was also relatively convenient to add the Dark Eldar to the existing Eldar storyline without any conflict, right at the catastrophe that destroyed the Eldar homeworld. Games Workshop decided to make the Dark Eldar as a separate army, after it became fairly common to see gamers collect "Dark Eldar" armies, which are total conversions/customizations of Eldar miniatures while still retaining the standard Eldar rules. Psykers are treated as playthings in Commorragh, and given the twisted sadistic nature of the Dark Eldar, this necessarily involves pain and torment for the psyker. While Dark Eldar do make use of psychic devices, they do not use psychic powers themselves. They are mainly pirates, though are sometimes used as mercenaries.ĭark Eldar, like most Eldar Kindreds, make use of advanced technology, including anti-gravity devices, dark matter (in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, something more akin to antimatter) weaponry, nanotechnology and psychic artifacts. The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the Warhammer 40,000 factions in the sense that they do not occupy many planets, but rather one dark city - Commorragh. They strike with little or no warning, using an interdimensional labyrinth known as the Webway to traverse the galaxy safely and far more quickly than most races are able to with their Warp jumps. Dark Eldar armies make use of various anti-gravity skimmers such as Raiders and Ravagers to launch high speed attacks.
The Dark Eldar revel in piracy, enslavement and torture, and are sadistic in the extreme. They are the thematic equivalent of the Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves, and indeed Dark Elves in general. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed, though they are often lacking in resilience. In the fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000, the Dark Eldar are a Kindred of the Eldar, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids.
It is a stand-alone expansion, featuring two new factions: The Dark Eldar, and Sisters of Battle. Dawn of War: Soulstorm is the third addition to the Dawn of War RTS franchise.
