Hi!
This is what I would like to see in a Dark Elder Army.
Mete
Overall rules
Prisoners
The Dark Eldar almost always take prisoners during their raids. When
a unit in close combat with the Dark Eldar is broken, and fails it's
moral (fallback orders), roll 1d6 for any stands still in Close Combat
with a Dark Eldar stand in the end phase, on a roll of 4+ the stand is
taken prisoner and the Dark Eldar player awarded 1 victory point.
DE powers
The Dark Eldar infantry have several advantages unique to them:
Fleet of foot- this permits infantry to move an additional 5 cm
during a charge move.
Shadowed skin- they may only fired upon if the firing unit is within
25 cm
Combat drugs- roll once on the following table and apply the results
to the unit.
Shadowed skin should be restricted to some units and not others.

Wyches 15 - +3 Splinter Pistol 25 1 5+ - Elite, Combat Drugs
Grotesque 15 - +4 None - - - - Elite, Stupidity, Special Rules
These deformed creatures are so hideous that they cause fear. The
charged unit must make their morale check or fight at -2. Otherwise
they are at -1. In addition to being disgustingly ugly the Grotesque
is quite stupid and must roll a d6 to follow its orders. On a 4+ the
Grotesque may follow the orders placed for the unit. If the roll is
not successful the unit cannot move but can fight in CC normally. If a
Grotesque is hit and fails its save it isn't destroyed yet. Turn the
model on its side and at the End phase roll 1d6 and on a 4+ the unit
gets up and continues as if it was never hit. This does not work in CC
however.

Combat drugs Special Rules
Beastmasters are a sub sect of the Wych cult, that fight against
wild creatures in the arenas of Commorragh. The Beastmasters also use
combat drugs, but always get the triple charge rate result, in order
to allow them to keep up with their pack of warp beasts.
Warp beast 25 - +5 None - - - - Special Rules
These creatures are from the Warp and are commanded by a Dark Eldar
Beast Master. These evil creatures warp in and out on the
battlefield. A Beast Master control warp Beasts. When a Warp Beasts
moves it does so through the Warp. They can move up to their charge
rate. When they charge into close combat, their opponent is at -2 to
their CAF. Warp Beasts can only be fired at during the Advance Fire
phase. They can only be pinned by Daemons, psychics and other
creatures from the Warp. They however can only pin non skimmer
infantry/cavalry/walker type units. If the Beast Master is destroyed
then the Warp Beasts will return to the warp. They are immune to all
non-physical psychic attacks and have a saving throw that is fixed at
6.
These units only exist in one version of the rules

* Shadowed: This power enables the psyker to hide one detachment or
unit (not company) from the enemy. The shadowed units appear to
flicker in out of their shadows thus making them more difficult to hit
and fight in close combat. When this is used the unit must be within
50 cm of the psyker. The effects last for 1 turn. All enemy units must
roll a 4+ on 1d6 in order to shoot at Shadowed units. If successful
they may do so at -1. Shadowed units in close combat receive a +2
bonus to their CAF.
* Blinded: This enables the psyker to blind one unit (not
detachment) in a shroud of darkness. Command targeting does not apply.
The shroud of darkness will follow the unit for one turn. The affected
unit cannot fire or engage in close combat but move. When moving, roll
the scatter die for every 5 cm the unit travels and move it in the
direction indicated. In addition, enemy units can't engage it nor fire
at it.
The psyker must roll a 4+ to be successful. Units that have a psychic
save must make a successful psychic save roll to negate this effect.
This power has a range of 50 cm.
* Death Grip: This allows the psyker to attack one unit in a
detachment within 25 cm. The warlock player must roll a 4+ on 1d6 to
successfully attack the unit. If successful, the unit is automatically
destroyed unless it has a psychic save. Titans and praetorians who
lose their crew to this attack arena't destroyed but can't move and
are at -1 to hit for the rest of the game (there are still enough crew
members to man the other posts.

The disintigrator fires a small particle of dark matter in much the
same way as an imperial plasma cannon fires super heated plasma. It is
however a much more sophisticated weapon and can be set to either
fire a large bolt or bursts of smaller shots.

Enslaver
Enslaver is a diabolical vehicle used by the Dark Eldar to capture
slaves. Like all DE vehicles it is fiendishly fast although weakly
armored. The Enslaver is armed with net throwers which fire a net of
psychoactive wraithcrystal fibres. The net is relatively thin but very
strong, and contains a psychic charge which renders anybody caught
inside totally inactive without causing them any physical harm. The
Enslaver then moves to the netted victims and hauls them inside to be
transported away.
The net thrower fires an individual web template (the Doomweaver
template). Take one template and place it over the intended target
anywhere within LOS and range. Roll a scatter die and if you roll an
arrow the template scatters 1D6 cm. Place the template number side up
in the location indicated with the number one printed on it towards
the firing model the attack. The other two templates are placed
joining the original template on a random edge (determined by rolling
a 2D6)- if you roll the same edge twice the second template is wasted.
Anything under the template is hit on 4+. Since the net's charge is
psychic, only psychic saving throws apply. The net itself is material,
however, so it can't be nullified by psychic powers. The net is
effective only against infantry. Place any stands hit upside down.
When the Enslaver moves within 6 cm it captures any affected stands.
The Dark Eldar player receives VP for them as per the capture rules.
