The 2003 UK Grand Tournament showcased some amazing armies, including Scott Goldstein's Dark Elves, known as Saldirmek's Soulcrushers.

You'd think Ollie Gray was preparing an invasion of Ulthuan, such is the size of his Dark Elf army. Ollie has a whopping 8,000 points of the malicious Elf kin! Check out a small sampling here.

We've delved into the Games Workshop archives and found the original Dark Elf banners that were in the first edition of the Dark Elf army book. We thought it would be an excellent idea if you could download them and use them for your own Dark Elf army!

This article was originally published in White Dwarf 287 to update the Dark Elves Army Book with some much-needed revisions. We are providing these revisions here for easy access to all Dark Elves players and opponents.

Assembling, Painting, and Playing
We take you through the steps of gathering your Dark Elf army: from assembling to playing, with a sample army list included.

Army List for Dark Elves
Selecting a good Dark Elf army can be difficult. These sample army lists, based on Warhammer Armies: Dark Elves, might give you a few ideas.

Gaming
As a Dark Elf General, you should always rely on deceit, lies and treachery. It's the Druchii way! Point to your opponent's best unit and declare "See them, they're all going to die!!!! Bwa-ha-ha!"

Extras
The nobles of the Druchii ride to battle atop ancient reptiles known as Cold Ones. Games Workshop has produced many different Cold Ones over the years.
