Incubi are the best warriors in Dark Eldar society. They are warrior-mercenaries living only to kill. [[Archons]] favor Incubi as bodyguards. They are also used extensively as enforcers in the city of [[Commorragh]]. Many pleasure dens or smuggler's spires have been brutally destroyed by a host of Incubi to send a message to their employer's rivals. The reason for this is that in Dark Eldar society, one's place in the chain of command is only improved by assassinating the person above you{{Cite This}}. Therefore, the majority of Kabal leaders find it too dangerous to leave the protecting of their lives in the hands of a member of the same Kabal, as the bodyguard would have ulterior motives for not sufficiently protecting the [[Archon]]. Incubi, on the other hand, are completely neutral in matters of Kabal hierarchy, follow the code of their contract and their Klaivex leader zealously, and are elite warriors, all of which make them perfect bodyguards. But in Commorragh, even the finest blade can still sometimes cut both ways.{{Fn|7}}

===Shrines of the Incubus===
Incubi, like [[Mandrake]]s or [[Haemonculi]], do not swear allegiance to any specific [[Kabal]] or [[Wych Cult]]. Instead, Incubi are trained in their dark shrines. These obsidian crafted shrines, all presided over by [[Hierarch]]s, are thronged by patrons and aspirants eager to steep themselves in the murderous arts. The smallest shrines have only a handful of Incubi, the larger ones are sprawling bastions full of howling marble statues with a central shrine where aspiring Incubi and other Dark Eldar come in their thousands to bargain for services or to join the order.{{Fn|7}}
===Armour===
Another aspect of Incubi equipment that is fairly unique is their use of [[power armour]] like the [[Incubus Warsuit]]. This warsuit is used only by Incubi and not even Archons have access to this kind of armoury. The warsuit is as tough as power armour and so perfectly designed it barely inhibits dexterity at all.
