It’s been a large week for Drukhari followers after Video games Workshop lastly remembered the Dark Eldar exist and introduced two new fashions for the faction in addition to a new codex and Fight Patrol. However one of many fashions particularly has caught the eye of Baldur’s Gate 3 followers, a lot of whom assume she seems to be very very similar to God’s Favorite Princess.
“The Drukhari have been biding their time within the depths of Commorragh, nevertheless it’s lastly time to launch the raid and drink deep of the galaxy’s distress — Codex: Drukhari is on its approach!” Video games Workshop mentioned in a put up on the Warhammer Community web site earlier this week.
“On the fore is a character lengthy identified for her quicksilver mind and violent tendencies, who now steps onto the battlefield with a depraved weave of schemes and techniques to confound her prey.
“Give it up for the Archon of the Poisoned Tongue — Girl Malys.”
Look acquainted? In the event you’re considering of Shadowheart from Baldur’s Gate 3, you then’re one in every of many with the identical opinion. Ever since Girl Malys was revealed, the dialog across the mannequin has concerned comparisons to the much-loved Baldur’s Gate 3 companion, which is as a lot to do with the same coiffure and shade and form of comparable facial options because it does her imposing demeanor.
Right here’s the official blurb on Girl Malys:
Girl Malys is as lethal together with her wit as she is together with her slender blades, preventing with a barbed longsword often known as the Girl’s Blade and a fan of razor sharp knives. Her data of poisons can render her unit’s assaults even deadlier than common, and opponents are all the time caught off guard when Kabalites they thought that they had sussed out are out of the blue spirited elsewhere earlier than the battle even begins.
“It legit is Shadowheart,” (*3*). “I used to be simply tempted to get her mannequin due to how attractive it seems to be.” “FR. Somebody within the mini making division has been enjoying an excessive amount of BG3,” replied Sufficient_Quit353. “Yeah, that is GW making a good trying feminine head, and that is Shadowheart if she grew to become a Dark Justiciar after which took issues to area,” added lycantrophee. “That is undoubtedly very comparable. I need one!” declared OftenSarcastic. “I need a second head so I could make a ‘Selunite’ Craftworld model as properly.”
There are some Warhammer 40,000 followers who’re saying the Girl Malys mannequin is too Shadowheart, or too “cute” to be a Drukhari, who are supposed to be extremely evil slavers who enjoyment of torture and sucking the souls proper out of their victims. They need to look extra like a twisted type of the Eldar, Warhammer 40,000’s area elves, than Eldar in gnarly armor.
“Am I the one one who feels her face seems to be incorrect for a Drukhari?” requested Perversoris. “Like approach too mild and nearer to Craftworld than Drukhari look imho.”

No matter your take, Drukhari followers are lastly having a second after years spent within the wilderness, trying on enviously at their Area Marine-loving brethren. It’s truthful to say the Dark Eldar haven’t been on prime of Video games Workshop’s to-do record with regards to new Warhammer 40,000 fashions, so at any time when Girl Malys and co hit retailer cabinets, the Drukhari fandom may have loads to sink their enamel into.
And maybe they’ll deliver a few Baldur’s Gate 3 gamers alongside for the trip. All we’d like now’s a Karlach World Eater…
