Term, you buying to play or just for kicks / painting ?
If you buying to play then you should really look at making an army list first, other wise just go crasy in the shop/store/web

As Tauzor mentioned, if you're picking up Dark Elves for the sake of playing as opposed to pure modeling, you should start by not buying anything and making a few lists at different levels of play. Dakka has quite a few Dark Elf players so you'll generally get feedback pretty quickly from putting a Dark Elf list over at the WHFB Army Lists area.

Welcome.

And as the rules currently stand with this version of Warhammer FB (a new one later this year we hear) Hydras seem very popular.

Welcome to Dakka Dakka. You should try Cold One Knights, I hear they are good. Or is that just the Lizardman part of me talking?...
