Title: Dark Eldar Buildings
Description: What are they made of??

Now here is a question. Has anybody ever thought of what the Dark Eldar buildings in Commorragh are made of?? If I'm not mistaken Eldar use Wraithbone and if I can remember properly Dark Eldar have a limit supply of Wraithbone, most of which is used in the Terrofex grenade launcher.
Anybody got any ideas or thoughts?

Interesting question, I don't remember ever seeing anything on their building structures anywhere.
Im guessing it would have to be similiar to the materials used at the time of the Fall though, seeing as how that was pretty much when Commorragh came into existance.
Probably not wraithbone as you have said cause they have limited supply and thats used for weapons. Maybe the can use some material in the web to make buildings and temples.

Not knowing too much of the fluff... I would have two guesses:
1) Same material as they make their vehicles out of.
2) Whatever they can steal from their raids and bring back with them.

thats a damn good question, id have to say that its probably some similar matirial to wraith bone, but not as psycotropic, cause i dont know the extent of DE psycic powers

Maybe it's Wraithsteel.
If that's too heavy, maybe Wraithaluminum?

Also coming in with little real knowledge of the fluff - perhaps the warp itself? I mean are there actually pictures of Commorragh, because if not perhaps one could assume that's its like a hive of close knit webway tunnels, with a few random wraithbone structures hidden here or there?
The Eldar speak of how Commorragh is a 'growing stain' in the bowels of the warp? Perhaps what they mean is that the Dark Eldar are expanding their territory inside the warp?
Just an idea,

Or maybe something similiar to the stone building used by the ancients or goa'ulds from stargate SG-1.
Tall dark and forboding building with very advanced technology.

Seems like where not the only one asking this question
Black LibraryThere are some great suggestions there. Including what Cal was saying about the Web Way.
EDIT: You can also find some interesting fluff here
Tortures TaleIt's got more to do with how Vect came to power and how he lead the DE to 'paradise' I suppose can be said.

yes the tortures tale is pretty much the best information we have on the DE way of life.
Hopefully that'll change at the end of the year when we get our new codex
