Sounds like a 90's college radio girl band..Lady Malys

Lady Malys was the 1^st consort of Asdrubael Vect, well until he became bored with her.  He cast her aside to find another suitable lady. This, for some reason, left Lady Malys a bit jaded. So, she set out to gain fame and revenge on Vect. She started her own Kabal, the Poison Tongue and struck out for glory. She traveled the highways and byways of the Dark Eldar and eventually ran afoul of a strange entity in the webway.  This entity had power, and Malys knew it. She challenged it to a test of wills, knowing her extreme cunning would win her the day. After multiple games of Connect Four, (at least this is what I picture) or some space/ demon game, Lady Malys was victorious. Her reward was the heart of this entity and its blade. Once she had these she replaced her heart with that of the warp monster/demon thing, and who wouldn’t? Since that time she has gained some precognitive abilities a defense against powers for the warp and a limited invulnerability.



There is no picture of Lady Malys, but Here is Lian Shi from Dynasty Warriors 7.
Why her?   Do you really need to ask yourself that?

Well that is the short tale of Lady Malys, another of the unique HQ choices for the Dark Eldar. She rolls on the board at a $1.30 with the regular Dark Eldar fair; fleet, night vision, and power through pain. She sports a WS7, BS 7, strength, toughness and wounds of 3, initiative 7, 4 attacks, leadership 10 and a 5+ save. She looks like most Dark Eldar HQ choices right there. She comes with a steel fan (close combat weapon) and plasma grenades. What make her special are her rules: Precognizant, Crystal Heart and her gear: Lady’s Blade and the Crystal Heart.

Precognizant this allows her, after both sides deploy, to redeploy D3 Dark Eldar units. They may even be taken from the table and placed in reserve. This can be extremely helpful for a first strike force that needs units in certain locations, or placing units as a feint before removing them to a new locale.

This ability also confers to her a 4++ invulnerable save.

Crystal Heart the warp creature’s heart gives the Lady, and any unit she joins, immunity to psychic powers. This can be kind of handy with all the psy powers showing up in armies lately, well various Marine armies. However, it does not stop powers that buff a unit (Hammerhand, Warp Time, etc) only offensive powers that target her and/or her unit.

Lady’s Blade is a Djinn Blade with a twist, it doesn’t attack her. This is a power weapon that allows +2 extra attacks a round. You still roll two dice and if doubles are rolled the blade rebels. It does not attack the wielder like a Djinn Blade, instead it ceases to function. So you don’t stab yourself, instead you lose your power weapon. Ick!

She suffers and benefits like all the other Dark Eldar (weak in body, need pain tokens etc.).Well the lady Malys has her uses as a pre-game deployment changer, nullifier of offensive unit targeting psy powers and a great leadership of 10. Sadly that is about all. The 4++ is helpful as are the plasma grenades, but she just doesn’t bring much else. It seems like the Lady was almost a unit upgrade character that they switched to an HQ.  Sadly the points spent on her can get you a myriad of more useful HQ options. Oh yeah, and there is no model for her either.
