'''Sybarite''' is the title given to a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabalite Warrior|Warrior]] squad leader.
==Description==
The strongest, most ruthless member of a squad is granted this title by killing the competition by any means necessary, as is the Dark Eldar way. A Though a veteran of many [[Realspace]] raids, a Sybarite is still a fairly low ranking member of a [[Kabal]], and the title really serves little purpose apart from creating rivalry within the Warrior squad and giving the new Sybarite a higher-ranking position to strive for.{{Cite ThisFn|2a}}
Sybarites in command of their [[Kabal]]'s [[Hand of the Archon]] [[Kill Team Unit]], are known as '''Archsybarites''' and wield [[Venom Blade]]s.{{Fn|3}}
==Equipment==
Once attaining the rank of Sybarite, most have honed their skills in combat to such a degree that they trade in their longer-range, but clumsier and less aggressive [[Splinter Rifles]] for [[Splinter Pistols]] and a [[Monomolecular Blade]]. Sybarites frequently use their new positions in the Kabal to procure new weapons or wargear to further increase their effectiveness in combat. Sybarites may also possess stronger [[Darklight weapon|Darklight weaponary]] such as a [[blast pistol]] replacing their splinter pistol. Their ordinary close combat weapon may also be replaced by a [[Venom Blade]] or even an [[Agoniser]].{{Cite ThisFn|2b}}
Some Sybarites make sure to keep themselves alive and invest in their protection. They may buy [[Ghostplate Armour]] or a [[Phantasm Grenade Launcher]].{{Cite ThisFn|2b}}
