| Introduction: All dark eldar are good marksmen with BS4. At first glance it would seem that the Dark Eldar would have little use for snipers in Commorragh. Successful Archons however would see the value of snipers on the battlefield for disrupting the enemy and sowing confusion. Their value would be in creating a diversion to allow the rest of the army to close with enemy units to take slaves. Take the core warrior and equip them for the sniper role. Mandrakes would be good from an infiltration standpoint but their forte is HTH combat. Perhaps half-breed mandrakes could be recruited as snipers? Alternately, Snipers could be chosen from dark eldar warriors that demonstrate stealth and marksmanship on the battlefield. |
