====Shadow Warriors====
Alias; the big cheese, shadow the edgehog warriors, the thinking mans warband.

These guys used to be an official warband introduced in the lustria campaign until the creators committed ritual suicide. This warband is noteable for being so op it became banned officially and made unofficial. Anyone playing this warband either doesn’t know any better, or has just asked for 20 slings to the face.

Why are they op you ask, dear reader?

Bs4 baseline elves bs5 warband leader. Ws4 for heroes.

a magic lore that in addition to being quite easy to cast has wonderful gems such as ‘aoe hidden aura that cant be broken unless you move within 6 inches on a 6+’ this is not even the best spell.

I6 and at worst i5 in every fucking model and m5, and high ld.

Access to elf bows for cheaper and easier.

Common house rulings: 

Cap elves at t3

Move house before your opponent comes over

Hire Assassins to kill opponent 

Provide loaded die to opponent


If you must fight a player with this warband, kill his mage promptly, then his most expensive heroes, the only way to stop shadow warriors from quickly snowballing in campaign is to cull them early and brutally, once the mage is down ruin his most expensive heroes quickly. 

Tactics FOR shadow warriors:

Abuse your insanely good bs,movement and initiative to be up high and run away from your vertically challenged opponents. Choose at least longbows, get quick shot then trick shot. If you instead desire a melee focused elf. Get  the weapon master skill, then obtain a rapier(or 2) these work wonderfully with your high ws meaning you will get to roll far more attacks than is listed on the hero. 

 After 1-3 matches of this, congratulations you have won the campaign as you are now the sole player, don’t worry I hear Lucifer has a shadow warriors band just like you.
