March of the Dark Ones – A Dark Elf roster expansion

High Elves have it too good right now, with them having one more dlc over the Druchii. I fixed that transgression against the best elves!

March of the Dark Ones adds 7 new units for our favorite edge lords, most of them are lore friendly with one unit being a liberty, but I wanted to add them!

Two variants of Lordlings which are just better Dreadspears and Bleakswords, equivalent to Silverin Guard, nothing special so far. Khaine knows they need them.

I’ll let u guess what techs and skills they benefit from. Recruited from tier 3 barracks building

Dark Pegasus riders with a specialty in taking out those pesky archers, gunners, and dogs before they can do some damage! Pro tip, dogs count as infantry!

Benefits from Dark Riders techs and skills. Recruited from tier 4 monster building.

A relic from 3rd edition, now brought back from the dead for a proper shock cav that ain’t Cold One Knights. Besides, nobles gotta start from somewhere

Benefits from Dark Rider techs and skills. Recruited from tier 3 cav building.

An edgy version of White Lions of Chrace, the unit itself an inspiration of a modern Executioner model with an axe

Benefits from Executioner techs and skills. Recruited from tier 3 Khaine building

My version of Tower Masters, again inspired by their tabletop models. A massive greatsword in hand to give enemies of order a run for their money

Benefits from Blackguard techs and skills. Recruited from tier 5 dragon building

Straight from the Man O’ War tabletop, here to spread terror across the skies

Benefits from Dread Knight skills and techs. Recruited from tier 4 monster building

While I didn’t make any new corsair variants (gib ideas) I did give both vanilla variants the passive ability "Barbed Net" which decrease enemy speed and missile resistance by 10%, to simulate the idea that in the lore, corsairs use nets.

That’s all he wrote, however I am up for some ideas for some new units that you guys feel our buddies need. BTW this is part 1 of a three part series of mods I plan to make for the Dark Elves, I just didn’t want this mod to be too big or to make it a requirement to use one big mod for one thing.

I did move around some recruitment tiers so that some weren’t too cluttered from the new units, mainly the tier 3 barracks. Both Corsair variants have been moved to tier 3 port buildings, but Black Ark recruitment for Corsairs are unchanged. Dark Riders with Shields have been moved to tier 2 cav building, alongside the other Dark Rider variants, to make room for Doomsteeds.

@Nimue, for allowing open permissions to use assets from her Druchii Cosmetics mod, where I got the Draich Master helmets from

@Frodo45127 for their Asset Editor tool which I use to assemble the models of the units themselves

@DJ Fro-Fro for their RPFM tool which I use to set most data for the units
