Hello Everyone,
I've recently played my second game with my new Dark Elves and am really enjoying them though have a lot to learn. I've done up my first of hopefully many Dark Elf reports which you can find below:
I'm liking the list, but I noticed you had no shadow magic, and two units that need mindrazor/withering to deny armour/get wounds through, respectively. But as always, a nice report.
Your buddy has to be smarting after another quick exit for his DP, is there any way you think he could play him differently? All I can think is that that guy is safest in combat.

He hedged his bets that I would take Shadow I think and hence left the 2+ Flaming at home. The thing is I am a huge fan of metal as it allows you to nuke the MC before they get into combat.
With my DE I always intended to Searing Doom/Hounds him and if that didn't work I was going to put the Dreadlord in there to grind him down.
It's a lot tougher for the DP against OnG, the warmachines will nearly always grab him in 2 turns meaning the only option is to get in combat. However I will nearly always flee to prevent that, or rushing that far forward that fast will trip a fanatic screen and the Manglers which should kill him as well. I guess he has to have some bad match-ups.
