As the Daemon Prince swooped down on the Aelf Spearmen. Raising his mighty axe the Daemon Prince was surprised by a black cloaked Shadowblades Assassin leaping out and slashing him half a dozen times. “Oooh, they sting like paper cuts! “. But what the Daemon Prince really didn’t see coming was the black poison on the blade that would be his downfall. Assassins are delicate tools that need careful use and handling. The Aelf Shadowblades assassin are an example of this. Used correctly they can strike down your opponents warlord and win the game, used with a heavy hand and they will be swept aside without a second thought. General Shadowblades Assassin Tactics With your assassin you will need to pick your target before the game starts, as you set up your units.

On this page we will look at the Aelf Ellyrian Ravers and the Elllyian Ravers Tactics. The Ellyrian Ravers are good all round units.

Otherwise you will need to rely on your wizards. Another option would be to add artillery from one of the other forces of order like human or AoS Duardun ( Dwarf ) armies. One strength the Aelf army does have is magic. In Age of Sigmar magic is strong and having magic users in your army is highly recommended.
