Great guide for a balanced dark elf army! You mentioned bringing shades to kill armored infantry; for a beginner I’d recommend spending a little more to bring a medusa instead. Much easier to keep alive I think, and great burst damage on armored infantry
@ Sure thing! Medusa can be hard to keep alive if the enemy has a canon or deathshriek, but otherwise they are pretty fast and easy to keep behind your frontline to constantly poke enemy infantry with big shots
The burst damage is what I like about Medusas. Their shot cooldown was increased a few patches ago, but as an SEM they can quickly reposition between shots anyway. You can/should maneuver it almost as much as an Exalted Flamer.
Dark elves are quickly becoming one of my favorite factions besides lizardmen and kislev. Thanks for this!

A good point, and probably the right one, not sure why I thought that the medusa would be hard to keep alive, thanks for the tip!

Dark Riders (Shields) not only have bronze shields over the regular version, but also 6 more melee defense. Not bad value for 50 more gold.
Yeah absolutely! Definitely preferred!
