So I've decided to downsize my army lists to just 1000 and 2500 points. Here is what I'm thinking for my wives' Dark Elves.

Dreadlord w/ Armor of Eternal Serv., Soulrender, Shield, Sea Dragon Cloak
199

Sorceress w/ Lv2, Tome of Furion, Talisman of Endurance
180

24 Warriors w/ shields, full command
183

10 RXB's w/ musician, shields
115

10 RXB's w/musician
105

5 Cold One Knights
135

5 Shades
80

Total Army Cost: 997

Looks solid. I would personally drop Soulrender and try to pick up the Whip of Agony (I would pick up the spare points by dropping shields from the one unit of Xbows).

**Vulcan**

At this low point level, the Dread is just too expensive for what he does. You'll get most of the effect for much less cost by using a Master instead. And using Soulrender without the POK (and a 2+ armor save) means it's all too likely he will be killed before he ever gets to swing. Either Crimson Death (S6) or the Whip of Agony (S5 AP +1 attack) will work much better.

The reason for the Dread is that I can't fit a Master and a Sorcerer in this point level.

**Vulcan**

Oh yeah, the 25% limit.

**Grasss**

I wouldn't use warriors, they get killed to fast for me.

Everything in our list dies quickly. T3 AS 5+ is as good as our infantry gets... which is pretty darn squishy. We don't even have a heavy infantry choice that can carry a shield!

At least Warriors are cheap enough to have a lot of them. But I prefer RXBs for a) the truly ridiculous volume of shooting they generate, and b) being the toughest infantry we have, since they actually have a parry save on top of that 5+ armor.
