Being new to fantasy i chose to play Dark Elves for the army feel and aesthetic, plus Dark Eldar was my first 40k army; but all i have gotten is scorn and derision from other fantasy players just for being a new player using the Elves. When you see someone putting out some corsairs, sorceresses and chariots do you instinctively cringe? Yes they have a strong book, but is that the only reason people cry foul when i say i am a dark elf player, or is there something a bit more substantial to it than that?
In 40k people whinge about Imperial Guard, Wolves, BAngles, Nids etc but these concerns trivial compared with the hatred Dark Elves receive. Evidently i am missing something, so could someone fill me in?
Apologies for posting a list in the general section, still new here. In reference to that list, after playing 1 game with 2 hydras i took the second out upon seeing jsut how dirty it was...
