Tortured Slave

"No! Not the whip!"

These unfortunate souls, mostly humans captured during Dark Eldar raids, are utilized as builders once their masters tire of tormenting them. Sent out into battlefields hobbled and chained, Tortured Slaves plant Warp spire pods to start building construction. This allows the Dark Eldar structures to essentially build themselves, freeing the Tortured Slave to quickly begin other fortifications.

Tactics

The Tortured Slave is unique among builders in that it only needs to start a building's construction. At the start of a match, quickly place all of the structures you wish built; this allows them all to be built simultaneously and gives you a head start. You can also save resources by refraining from purchasing additional builders until you have upgraded Slave Chambers producing souls to harvest. Always keep Tortured Slaves harvesting souls when they are not placing buildings or repairing vehicles and structures. Most players would keep Tortured Slaves at relatively safe locations to gather Soul Essence without interference but this tactic would hinder the immediate repairing of heavily-damaged Dark Eldar vehicles. Repairing the expensive and powerful Dais of Destruction should be of the highest priority.

Effects The Slave initiates construction of Dark Eldar structures, summoning them onto the battlefield. Unlike other builders, Slaves just have to start the building and it will build itself to completion and the Slave is not tied up by the construction. However, this makes for constant build times, and no benefit is gained from trying to have multiple builders construct a building.

Effects The unit moves to the nearest deposit of Soul Essence in range and starts harvesting it. This provides Soul resource to the Dark Eldar player.

Soul Essence is used to cast the Dark Eldar Soul Powers.
