3,000 points - Dark Elves

I've been putting together my Dark Elf models, and making sure I have a WYSIWYG 3,000 point army (I just randomly have the urge to play a larger force than 2,250). So far, here's the list I've been thinking about running (and I plan on play-testing it this weekend if I can get everything built):

  2. Yeah, I forgot that at the 3k mark I can have 3 copies of a rare, so yes, I will be re-vamping the list for MOAR HYDRAS! Lol thanks!

  5. I prefer having a supreme sorceress in my army, especially in larger battles + what lore are your sorceresses using?
    Also, though you do have a shedload of crossbows already, why not get rid of a few corsairs (reduce the unit of 30 to 20, or something) to add some more. It may sound a little silly but 84 shots per turn doesn't actually do that much damage, especially not against heavily armoured, though opponents such as dwarves of warriors of chaos.
    I would also probably reduce your unit of 20 BG to 15, then add another unit of maybe 10 or (if you're clever enough with points) 15. I say this because BG are magnets to enemy archers, so if one unit of them gets killed, the other unit will probably reach the enemy lines.
    Just a few suggestions as to what I include in my armies, hope you found some of this marginally usefull :)

  6. Thanks, RhydPedr!

    I only ever use the Lore of Shadow because it's just awesome (especially that signature spell).

    I could add more archers and Black Guard while dropping Corsairs, but I really don't have any extra of either lol. I'm sort of using what I've got at the moment, but I'm not set on my list. I will probably try this list out a bunch more times and change little things here and there (trying out people's ideas of course) every now and then. For now I have to get the rest built lol.
