Armed with repeater crossbows β magazine-fed weapons capable of unleashing blistering hails of bolts β these Darkshards can take positions at the rear of the battlefield firing storms of iron-tipped bolts, against approaching foes, or move forwards to weaken the enemy line with a withering volley before the Dark Elf attack charges home. Though often scorned by other warriors for their distaste of close quarters battle, the Darkshards are unflinchingly proud of their marksmanship and are certainly no less cruel than their fellows. It is not uncommon for a Darkshard to forgo a killing strike to eye or heart in favour of a gut shot or other debilitating blow which, while ultimately so less lethal, guarantees that the enemy's last moments will be spent in mewling agony. ==Attributes== *[[File:Missile infantry bow.png]] '''Missile Infantry''' {{wh2_dlc10_def_inf_the_bolt_fiends_ror_0 bulletpoints}} ==Strategy== {{strategy}} This unit is ideal for dueling archer units. While their shields protect them from enemy missiles, their shots diminish enemy shields. This allows them to comfortably win most ranged battles. This also helps shred infantry or cavalry that may be relying on shields to block missile damage. {{Navbox Dark Elves units}} [[Category:Total War: Warhammer II units]] [[Category:Dark Elves units]] [[Category:Dark Elves Regiments of Renown]] [[Category:Dark Elves missile infantry units]] [[Category:The Queen and the Crone units]] [[Category:Regiments of Renown]]
