Dark Riders

The Dark Riders are heralds of the armies of Naggaroth. Mounted on black horses with glowing red eyes, the Dark Riders range ahead of the main army, spying on the enemy and spreading mayhem and confusion. They are the eyes and ears of the Dark Elf army commander, reporting back with vital information about the position and strength of the enemy's forces.

Dark Riders are expert horsemen, spending most of their lives in the saddle, and are deadly shots with the Dark Elf repeater crossbow. When called to take part in a pitched battle they are usually deployed ahead of the main Dark Elf Army so that they can slow down and harry the enemy as they try to deploy for battle. If they are attacked they will normally fire off a quick volley of crossbow bolts and retreat, relying on the speed of their fleet-footed Dark Steeds to outdistance any pursuers.
