They range from sycophantic schemers to masterful strategists who have waged war across a hundred battlefields. Though all such Nobles pursue their own unique enthusiasms and ambitions, they are without exception selfish individuals, possessed of an arrogance matched only by their martial prowess, honed over centuries of unceasing war. Many Dreadlords owe their position of power to their bloodlines, daring exploits, or the Witch King's mercurial favours. Others are granted temporary power by means of an writ of iron - an edict granted by one of the six rulers of the great cities of Naggaroth. He who bears a writ of iron shares the sponsor's authority - a powerful tool for the ambitious. However, should a Dark Elf fail in his appointed task, or show cowardice whilst acting in his sponsor's name, the writ is melted down and the molten remains poured down his throat. Such is the price of failure in Naggaroth. ==Attributes== {{wh2_main_def_cha_dreadlord_female_0 bulletpoints}} == Character Abilities == === Active Abilities === *[[File:Wh main character abilities foe seeker.png|38px]] [[Foe-Seeker]] *[[File:Wh main character abilities deadly onslaught.png|38px]] [[Deadly Onslaught]] === Passive Abilities === *[[File:Wh2 main faction abilities murderous prowess.png]] [[Murderous Prowess]] *[[File:Wh2 main lord passive strength through spite.png]] [[Strength Through Spite]] ==== Campaign only ==== *[[File:Wh2 main lord passive kindle the fury.png]] [[Kindle the Fury]] === Item Abilities === *None ==== Multiplayer only ==== *[[File:Wh2 main weapon abilities hydra blade.png|38px]] [[Hydra Blade (ability)|Hydra Blade]] *[[File:Wh2 main item passive shield of ghrond.png]] [[Shield of Ghrond (ability)|Shield of Ghrond]] == Items (Multiplayer) == * [[File:Wh main anc weapon.png|39px]][[Hydra Blade]] *[[File:Wh main anc armour.png|38px]][[Shield of Ghrond]] == Mounts == *[[File:Mount dark steed.png|38px]][[Dark Steed]] *[[File:Mount cold one.png|38px]][[Cold One]] *[[File:Mount dark pegasus.png|38px]][[Dark Pegasus]] *[[File:Mount black dragon.png|38px]][[Black Dragon (mount)|Black Dragon]] == Names of Power == *Dreadlords can obtain [[Names of Power]] in the campaign. == Talent Tree == *[https://totalwarhammerplanner.com/planner/vanilla3/def_dark_elves/def_dreadlord_fem Skill Tree on TotalWarhammerPlanner] == Strategy == Melee specialists par excellence, Dreadlords can tank as well as dish out damage, a prized attribute in the glass cannon-heavy Dark Elf roster. Loaded up with a [[Sorceress]] or two they are likely your best choice for generic lord, drawing enemy attention to them and allowing your lighter units the chance to flank and dish out damage. == Gallery == <gallery> Def dreadlord female campaign 01 0.png Def dreadlord female campaign 02 0.png Creative-assembly-def-female-dreadlords.jpg|Concept art </gallery> {{Navbox Dark Elves units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II units]] [[Category:Dark Elves units]] [[Category:Dark Elves lord units]]
