Editing Warhammer/Tactics/6th Edition/Dark Elves (section)

==Alternative Army Lists==
The Dark Elf army was blessed with three alternative army lists. Two of the lists, City Garrison and Watch Tower Patrol, are just alternative slots for specific units etc. but the Cult of Slaanesh is a completely different thing so it has it's own chapter below.
===City Garrison army list===
If your tactic is to pepper your opponent from afar, this might be your choice. Repeater Bolt Throwers are a special choice in this army. 8 Bolt Throwers in 2000 points? 6 in 1250 points? YES please! Also note that the revision affects only partly this list. Characteristic increases (Cold One Knights Ld) but do not get chariots 2-in-1 and the points cost of warriors is not decreased. See Chronicles 2003. And in the entry of sorceress the number of attacks should be 1.

===Watch Tower Patrol===
A quick and mobile list. All characters must be mounted, no assassins allowed (WHAT a tragedy..). One lord choice less than normally allowed. No High Sorceressess. Core includes Dark Riders and Cold One Knights, special Cold One Chariots and Harpies and the only "slow" unit is in rare: Shades. 

===Cult of Slaanesh===
This is an unique list of the 6th edition since it combines two armies (Chaos and Dark Elves). Dark Elf units can take the Mark of Slaanesh and the general must be a Sorceress with the Mark of Slaanesh.
==== Lords & Heroes ====
* '''High Sorceress:'''
* '''The Anointed of Slaanesh:'''
* '''Noble:'''
* '''Sorceress:'''

==== Core Units ====
* '''Warriors:'''
* '''Devoted of Slaanesh:''' 1+ Witch Elves with poisoned attacks traded for soporific musk and frenzy traded for Mark of Slaanesh. The musk is a downgrade as devoted already have good WS & I. Frenzy output is mitigated because devoted get 2 attacks base, while Immune to Psychology is always on thanks to the mark. Overall, use them like witch elves.
* '''Shades:'''
* '''Marauders:'''
* '''Daemonettes:'''

==== Special Units ====
* '''Dark Riders:'''
* '''Cold One Knights:'''
* '''Mounted Daemonettes:'''
* '''Warriors of Chaos:''' Your real anvil, shunted into Special. Still you theoretically only need one. Can't be upgraded to chosen.
* '''Furies:''' 0-1. Compared to Harpies, more expensive, more dangerous and that ward save probably won't do anything 2/3 of the time but still worthwhile

==== Rare Units ====
* '''Chaos Knights''' Takes two rare slots, must have Mark of Slaanesh and can't be upgraded to chosen. Since bolt throwers are essential, these are rarely seen.
* '''Reaper Bolt Thrower:''' Fielding Warriors of Chaos with a shooting backline is why you're here. Just like the main elves, fill up on these but guard them well.
* '''Chaos Spawn:'''
