Dark Eldar Mandrakes

[feebianac]

Ok, I have a question to all the Dark Eldar players.
Under the Mandrakes Hidden Deployment rule, does it imply anywhere on the battlefield or anywhere in the deployment zone. They worded it funky and one of my friends got me all confused. Thanks for any help.

It says as 'allowed by the deployment rules', so I would say in your deployment zone.

OK thanks he was getting all crazy on the wording, I just had to double check to see how everyone else was using the mandrakes. I was 90% certain I was right, some people just try to make the wording say different than what was intended.

Yes they 'deploy' in your own set up area, they can then move around there blips until there revealed, in most cases you can easily get into your opponent deployment zone first.

It should be noted that almost nobody is scared of them once they know how poo they are once they appear.

The few times I have used them I have used them as a min squad, just so I could use blips to give my opponent the willys, and the other time I used 2 max squad to give my opponent a rude surprise, when they both appeared and muged his heavy support units. They are in my experience often left off DE players army lists. (much like I tend to leave off Lictors in competitive nid lists).

*as a side note, i could be tempted to use them in combo with a wytch list, to block LOS and such by getting into combat with things that would shoot my wytch army.*

I hate DE, but wytches especially. I fought two groups of wytches with some stealers and the stealers got their butts handed to them. By the way are the mandrakes the ones that are always in cover. If so I hate them too, because I assaulted them without fleshhooks and I was destroyed.

Yea, Darkeldar, the neglected codex & model range.

And yet, not to be underestimated when used right at the right time.

Still, one has to ask.... no flesh hooks?
