Carnival of Pain

Dark Eldar Portal

Carnivals of Pain are grim Dark Eldar spectacles. More than a standard raid for slaves or booty, a Carnival of Pain is an attack on a world that seeks to demonstrate the showmanship, artistry, and craftiness of the Archon, Succubus, or Haemonculi leading it. Often bizarre new weapons are employed, all leading to a hideous "grand finale" that sees a climax in bloodshed and mayhem. Dark Eldar Lords consider Carnivals of Pain to be the pinnacles of their dark art.^[1]
