− | As with many other types of weapons in the [[Dark Eldar Armoury]], the '''Dark Lance''' employs
| + | #redirect [[Dark Matter Weaponry#Dark Lance]] |
− | a sophisticated, superior technology far beyond our understanding. This technology is a
| |
− | little bit similar to the laser weapons used by other races, but instead of a high-energy laser
| |
− | beam, these weapons fire a beam of some kind of a ''dark energy'', or ''dark matter''.
| |
− | | |
− | The source of this dark matter is yet to be found, but some scientists say, that it may be the
| |
− | product of yet unknown activities in black holes, warp storms and other kinds of dangerous
| |
− | celestial phenomena. This beam of dark matter (or energy) reacts catastrophically with any target it
| |
− | hits, completely annihilating everything in a high energy blast, tearing apart heavily armed vehicles
| |
− | like toys, and vapourizing enemy soldiers in a microsecond.
| |

− | The Dark Lance is a long-range heavy weapon. It is extremely effective against heavily armed
| |
− | vehicles, as their thick armour provides absolutely no protection against the energy beam.
| |
− | In the game, the threat caused by this weapon is emphasized by the [[Lance Weapons]] special rule,
| |
− | that reduces the effective Armor values of heavily armed vehicles.
| |
− | | |
− | Although the general version of this weapon can be carried by [[Dark Eldar Warrior]]s and other troops,
| |
− | it is common practice to fit Dark Lances on Dark Eldar vehicles. [[Raider]]s are usually armed with
| |
− | a single Dark Lance, but [[Ravager]]s were modified to carry three heavy weapons, either of which can
| |
− | be a Dark Lance or a [[Disintegrator]].
