==Warscrolls== The common keywords of these warscrolls are: '''ORDER''', '''AELF''' and '''SCOURGE PRIVATEERS'''. ===Leaders=== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-black-ark-fleetmaster-en.pdf Black Ark Fleetmaster]:''' The first thing you notice is that the Fleetmaster, like most Aelf Heroes, is not a powerhouse. He has five attacks, all with Damage 1, which is not too scary. He is also not too tough, even with his cloak. The second is that he is one of the cheapest heroes in the game. What his main purpose is to buff your other stuff to high heaven by giving one of your Privateer units rerolls To Hit, not specifying melee or range. Think of him mainly as a cheap tax, as he's infinitely worse than anything else in this faction, but necessary to make the faction work. ===Troops=== ====Battleline==== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-black-ark-corsairs-en.pdf Black Ark Corsairs]:''' Your crazy corsairs come in two basic flavors: Knife and Crossbow or Knife and Sword. No matter which you pick, they always come stock with a 5+ save that rerolls 1s against shooting and they gain +1 To Hit in melee only if their unit size is 20 or up. Thanks to this, most would agree that the sword is superior to the puny 9" crossbows even though they get two shots each, but that is not quite justified. Simply put, you need both. At best you want a big 40+ unit of Knife'n'Sword, fanned out wide as a dragnet to contain incoming charges with a second rank with hand crossbows behind them. The crossbows can be in the same unit, allowing you to to get the +1 hit bonus in melee, while using their ranged attacks from the rear ranks during your shooting phase. The corsairs also cause an additional enemy model lost to battleshock on 6+s for each enemy model fleeing. *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-scourgerunner-chariot-en.pdf Scourgerunner Chariots]:''' The first thing you will notice about these chariots is that they are comparatively harmless in melee; getting no charge bonuses and having only a bunch of meh attacks. That's because they're not really chariots. They're highly mobile platforms loaded with lots of ranged weapons that can also charge if necessary. Thanks to their comparatively high ranges of 16" and 18", combined with their rapid 12" movement, these things are what you use as fire support, as swift war machine hunters and to use hit and run tactics. For the ''Realm Reavers'' Battalion, a unit of at least 3 is advised. Otherwise, just run them each solo as the leaders gain +1 To Hit and if they're run solo, each one can be a leader of his own imaginary posse. ===Behemoth=== *'''[https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/AoS_Warscrolls/aos-warscroll-kharibdyss-en.pdf Kharibdyss]:''' Wound-per-Wound the Kharibdyss is by far the strongest unit in this list, with a bunch of terrifying attacks, potential for healing and a nice Bravery-lowering skill to make more chumps run away screaming once it tears into them. It is also slightly faster than your Corsairs, though comparatively slow for a monster, so it can still be out-maneuvered if you aren't careful. Wound-per-Wound, the Kharibdyss is also the most efficient target for the Fleetmasters' ''At them, you Curs'' Command. Unfortunately, since Corsairs tend to be fielded in units of more than 12, they are still the most logical choice for the Command ability. On the other hand, the Kharibdyss is already plenty scary without it.
