[[Image:DE Dracon.jpg|right|thumb|A Dark Eldar Dracon]]'''A Dracon''' is the commander for a regiment of soldiers in a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabal]]<sup>.{{Fn|1</sup>. }} They are frequently seen leading their forces in large -scale raids, or joining up with a raid currently in progress upon receiving word that considerable resistance has been met.
==Background==
Dracon equipment is very similar to that used by [[Archons]], with slight exceptions.
===Armour===
===Trueborn===
(5th edition)<sup>2</sup><br />Dracon usually lead a squad of [[Kabalite Trueborn]] warriors.{{Fn|2}}
===Retinue===
(3rd edition)<sup>1</sup><br />It's is quite common for a Dracon to have a specific [[Dark Eldar Warrior|Warrior]] [[Lord's Retinue|retinue]] squad that they take on as their retinue, but these warriors are less like bodyguards, and more like disciples, blessed with being given the opportunity to train under a being of such distinction and skill as to achieve the rank of Dracon. This Warrior squad is usually given a special name, and is treated with increased kindness by their Dracon, while suffering increased contempt by their fellow Warriors. These elites usually swear fealty to the Dracon over the Kabal, and as such are often the fulcrum necessary for a successful coup d'etat. Unfortunately, this means in the event of the Dracon's plot being foiled, these elites are usually killed or enslaved regardless of whether they had anything to do with the matter.{{Fn|1}} == Miniature ==[[Image:DE Dracon.jpg|center|thumb|A Dark Eldar Dracon]]
