DARK ELF RAIDING PARTY

By Tommy "Punk" Fransson

However the feared Druchii have been sighted inlands as well, often in search of a particular object or in the case of Lustria in search of the fabled riches of the temple cities. When travelling far from the protection of the small army aboard the Black Ark the Scouts lead them safely through the night. Although the warbands are small their size enable them to mvoe unnoticed where an army would have faced a quicky summoned army eager to drive them back. In the city of Mordheim a small group of Dark Elves are fighting other warbands, obviously in search of Wyrdstone - like every warband in the City of the Damned.

A Dark Elf raiding party must include a minimum of 3 models. You have 500 Gold Crowns to recruit and equip your raiding party. Maximum number of models in the raiding party is 12.

NOBLE...............80 Gold Crowns

Dark Elves are cruel and capable of carrying out the most wanton acts of depravity and murder. They take a perverse pleasure in inflicting pain in others , for no other reason than to delight in seeing their victims suffer.The cities of Naggaroth are ruled by a number of Noble houses or families. They are the commanders of armies and young Nobles are encouraged to lead raids to proove their worth.

Weapons and armour: The Noble may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Warriors Equipment list.

Leader: Any Dark Elf within 6" may use the Nobles Leadership characteristic when taking any Leadership test.

0-1 ASSASSIN...................85 Gold Crowns to hire

On Death Night the Brides of Khaine steal away male Dark Elven children to be raised and trained in the Temples of Khaine to become assassins. They are skilled in deadly martial arts and how to move unheard and unnoticed in the night. They are agents of the Witch King and rightly feared.

Weapons and armour: The Assassin may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Dark Elf Equipment list.

Poisoned weapons: All of the Assassins weapons, including missile weapons, are coated in a deadly poison. Resolve all to wound rolls at +1.

Assassin: Due to the very nature of the Assassins occupation no friendly Dark Elves may ever use his Leadership characteristic nor can you test against it for Bottle tests.

0-3 SCOUTS..................40 Gold Crowns to hire

The stealthy Dark Elven Scouts rely on their repeater crossbows to harrass and snipe the enemy, rather than engaging them head on. Ambush is the prefered style of the Scouts, however if cornered they are at their most dangerous and they are just as skilled with their short blades as with the crossbow.

Weapons and armour: The Scouts may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Dark Elf Equipment list.

HENCHMEN (bought in groups of 1-5 models)

WARRIORS 40 Gold Crowns to hire

The Dark Elves are cruel and fierce fighters and skilled with the sword and axe as well as the repeater crossbow, the distinct missile weapon of the Dark Elves. They are lithe and sinus with quick reactions and strong muscles.

Weapons and armour: The Warriors may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Warriors Equipment list.

WITCH ELVES...................45 Gold Crowns to recruit

The Brides of Khaine, the elven god of murder and bloodlust, are lead by the cruel and ancient Hag Queens whose bodies are as beautiful as their youngest sisters. A naked Witch Elf is more than a match for a fully armoured warrior. The Brides of Khaine live in great temples in the cities of Naggaroth. Before a battle they drink herbal potions made from the blood of elven victims sacrificed alive in the most cruel manners mixed with poison to send them into a Frenzied state.

Weapons and armour: The Witch Elves may be equipped with weapons and armour from the Witch Elves Equipment list.

Frenzy: The Witch Elves are subject to Frenzy and must charge an enemy model if they can.
