Dark Elf Rare Units
Potentially game turning units. These Rare units will make an impact in every battle they participate in.
Reaper Bolt Throwers
I believe that one Reaper Bolt Thrower will not pay for itself, but two of them will certainly pay for themselves. Being able to start wearing your enemies down from afar is very vital. With some luck, you can turn a perviously intact unit into a hollow shell with a fierce volley of bolts.
Cauldron of Blood
I did not like the new Cauldron of Blood model and converted my own with some Rackham pillars, Warmaster Harpies, a Zombie and the Cauldron.
Considering that a critical feature of the Dark Elf army is that it needs to break the enemy on the turn it charges, and that Dark Elves have low strength, the rerolling of To Wound dice is very significant.
Hydra
Ground moving Large Monster are quite disadvantaged, but the Hydra makes up for it with a 12" charge. It allows you to field a monster without giving up an additional crucial Hero slot for the Beastmaster.
