Has anyone had any experience using them?

The Dark Elves have four listed here:http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat40032&categoryId=400018§ion=&aId=7600001

and Lizardmen have four listed here:http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?catId=cat40032&categoryId=400018§ion=&aId=7600001.

Are they any good, or just good for selling models?

FYI you posted the Dark Elf one twice.

Also, in my experience, the GW lists have been a bunch of random crap that isn't all that effective.

The DE lists are pretty awful. Even when they get something right (Black Guard with ASF and CD Champion), they still get it wrong (run as 5x3 in that list). Yes, against equally bad lists I'm sure they'll each hold their own but it wouldn't do you much good against anyone who put half a thought into their list.

Whoops!

I ran the followers of Sotek list once, and actually it did surprisingly well. But in general, yes, GW lists are pieces of BS purely designed for selling models. *Shakes fist*

i stopped reading GW batreps a long time ago. i look at the loadouts for characters and stuff and just get confused.

its all tied into profits, which makes for a less enjoyable batrep.
