This list takes what I personally really like in the Dark Elf codex and brings it into a list. Lots of prehistoric lizards with some crazy rock n roll dark elves riding on them or leading them around. Unkillable lord on a Chariot for the Leadership 10 bubble for the chariot / knights and to help support charge units with the hydras / knights. Chariots will be used as supporting charge units to help break up big blocks of infantry for the hydras and knights, same as the lord. Some good shooting and supportive magic to help bring it all home.

Whatcha think?

love the heavy lizard theme.... will look extremely cool once painted up.... some of my favorite models in the range are the new cold ones and the new hydra kit.....

[calitom]

Agreed! Love the kits and the theme. The only frustration is the lack of a Cold One chariot model, but it wouldn't be too hard to just take a Chariot from another kit and do it up. Likely the Warriors of chaos Chariot kit as it seems to be the closest to what a Dark Elf chariot would look.

Unless you are really wedded to fielding your lord in a chariot, I would put him on a cold one so he can join the CoKs. The chariot will be shot out from underneath him by the first cannon shot and then he will not only be walking, but his deathpiercer lance will be completely useless since only mounted characters can use one!! Other than that, I agree it will look really cool.

If you need Dark Elf Chariots I have 2 I've been trying to sell for a while now

[calitom]

Yeah, gonna be looking to swap the lord to the Cold One. Thanks Frank.

And sure, when I wind up buying up the army (probably after the Chaos Dwarf book comes out) I'll hit you up on that Randy.

[redshirt2375]

Sounds good. I'm sure they will still be there by then ;D

[garrett]

I see you like chariots. With elves do you have to take stupidity tests for dark elves.
