SCENARIO III - DEFENCE OF EAGLE PASS
Dark Elf Player's Battle Scroll

The Dark Elf force consists of 2,000 points chosen from the army list in Warhammer Armies Dark Elves. Choice is limited to the troops listed here. Whenever the scenario calls for an exception to the list, it is clearly indicated below.

Malida, the Hag Queen
Malida, the Hag Queen, leads the Dark Elf army and counts as the army's General. Malida is the mistress of the Witch Elves of Karond Kar.

0-1 Witch Elf Harridan
(Hero Choice)

Champion
You may choose one Champion for each unit in your army, armed and equipped as the rest of the unit. Each Champion in Special or Rare Units may have a magic item up to a value of 25 points.

Units may have magic standards only if it stated in the list.

1+ Witch Elves of Khaine

Dark Elf Warriors

Dark Riders

0-1 Cold One Knights. The Cold One Knights may have a magic standard up to value of 50 points.

0-1 Couldron of Blood

0-1 Executioners. Executioners may carry a magic standard up to value of 25 points.

You may include up to 500 points of troops in your army as reinforcements sent by Kaldor to ensure your success in this confrontation. The points cost of these extra troops will be deducted from your army total in the final battle. The choice of troops is limited to those listed on this Battle Scroll.

Depending how fast the Dark Elves clear the pass, they could deny the High Elves a chance to deploy for battle properly when Raider's main force arrives. If you destroy the High Elves before turn 5, Calaidan's troops defending the mansion will almost certainly be unprepared for the final battle. Refer to the High Elf Battle Scroll for this scenario to see what effect this battle will have in the final scenario.

Charge!
The quicker you get to grips with your enemy, the better. Your troops are superior in hand-to-hand combai and only too eager to slaughter all the High Elves within reach.

Kill your Enemies!
Rout or slay as many of the High Elves as quickly as you possibly can. Never lose the opportunity to charge in and kill more of your hated cousins. Be ruthless - kill the High Elves even if it means that you will lose some of your own troops.

Flank your Enemies!
The most efficient and effective way to wipe out the High Elf regiments is to charge them in the flank or rear. Units of Dark Riders are perfect for this. Remember if you break a High Elf regiment you have an excellent chance to pursue them and cut them down or drive them off the table.

Dressed to Kill!
Make sure that you take all the hand-to-hand orientated equipment available to your troops. The more attacks that you can dish out the better. This applies to magic items as well. Favour magic weapons and choose plenty of Witch Elves to cause most of the damage.

Malida is one of the ancient Hag Queens, the mistress of all the Witch Elves of Karond Kar. She demanded the right to cleanse Eagle Pass of defenders, knowing that ther wll not retreat, and will have to give their blood to Khaine, the Lord of Murder.

She is one of the youngest Witch Elves ever to have risen to the status of Hag Queen. Though she is thousands of years old, Malida is still young compared to many of her sisters. In battle her thirst for blood has made her one of the deadliest servants of the Witch King, for she wishes to become the greatest of the Hag Queens ever to have ruled over the Sisterhood.

Malida sees the campaign in the Shadowlands as a perfect opportunity to spill blood in the name of Khaine, and dreams of restoring the Great Temple of the Bloody-handed God in the ruins of Anlec to its former glory.

Equipment: Blood Blades.

Save: 6+

Blood Blades
Malida is armed with two magic swords which eternally drip poisoned blood. The Blood Blades have a Strength of 5 and cause D3 Wounds. With these lethal blades Malida may make 1 extra attack because she is fighting with two weapons and therefore has 5 attacks when frenzied.

Blood Dance: Malida is swift and has unique style of fighting wich gives her an armour save of 6+.

Devotee of Khaine: She may join unit of Witch Elves only.

Frenzy, Hate High Elves
