- Can be made up but you need a name and cool background

- Dragon Princes riding Cold Ones: "Cold Princes" or "Touchless." With the reunification of the Asur and Druchii, the Court of the Phoenix King (whoever that might be) pressed for the deadly efficacy of cold one knights to be matched with the skill of asurian training, creating a deadly mix of the two. Requiring the sacrifice of their sense of touch to tame their mounts, these nobles have become cold and unfeeling in equal measure, their only thoughts service and sacrifice.

- Pre-elite Repeater crossbows + shields who are also trained in melee with spears: "Naggarothi Seaguard." During the reunification, hosts of druchii warriors were forced to maintain the vast shipping lanes inhereted from their asur cousins. To aid in this maintanence, many took up practicing the flexible fighting styles the asur employ, learning how to fight effectively both at range and in close quarters.

- Witch elves x Sisters of Avalorn: "Witches of Avalorn." As the cult of Khaine expanded into traditional asurian territory, some of the famed sisters of avalorn chose to sacrifice their prefered weapons of bow and sword for something more akin to their western cousins, fighting instead with short blades and whips.

- "Executioners of Hoeth/Swordmasters of Har Ganeth:" What deadlier combination is there but theory and execution? Skill and scholarship? Truly, there is none. Thus stand the Executioners of Hoeth, centuries of Asur study now put to practice by Druchii hands.

- "Blackheart Phoenix" The Phoenix is made magic through its attunement to the winds of magic, yet as the Naggarothi return home, they too brought with them their ways of magic. And as their unchained arts influenced the halls of mages, so too did they influence the phoenix which make their homes in the mountains of that land, staining once golden feathers black and amethyst.

lol that's wild
Great mod ! Well, speaking about another mixed regiments - let's pick some regiments from ET or ET-based ones, but not really wierdos, and just for elves :)
1 Cult of the Blood Queen
Though the Cult of the Blood Queen had been abolished, many of the crone's worshippers had maintained their faith in secret, waiting for their mistress' call. Hellebron had not wanted for worshippers within Athel Loren. The wood elves had never been so coy about godly worship as their estranged cousins, and had thrown themselves readily into rites of blood and sacrifice as contemplative prayer. Even a few high elves, resentful of a reserved existence that brought them only woe, had been drawn to Hellebron's simple creed of blood and pain.

So....witch elves+sisters of slaugher + war dancers I guess with wardancer-like stats + madness of Khaine effect in melee? With same kind of recruitment or smth based on idk, Shrine of Khaine ?


2.Shadowmanes
Even after Korhil's death, Tyrion retained the tradition of a white lion guard. It was easy enough to arrange. By far the majority of the Chracians had embraced Tyrion's ways, and those who did not were quick to deplore their former captain’s deeds in the face of Tyrion's wrath. Sadly, this ensured that a guard once known for its honour and nobility was now thickened almost entirely by scoundrels or cowards. This mattered little to Tyrion, who saw the white lion guard as the rightful trappings of a Phoenix King, and he valued their loyalty - however questionable it may have been.

I guess it can be white lions with bit of DE design, like helmets from black guard, and Immune to Psychology ? They also can fit a role of unlore-friendly unit like ,,black lions '' to guard the true king, not just weaklings who are elected by ulthuani nobility !

3.Krakensides
Naggaroth's once-mighty corsair fleets had been all but destroyed during the destruction of Ulthuan, with only a few scattered crews remaining at Malekith's side. The Krakensides were, in fact, only a quarter of one such crew – the rest of the elves aboard the Tower of Oblivion had thrown in their lot with the Khaine-struck Tyrion. Malekith's faith in them was far from unassailable, but then the Eternity King trusted no one completely. Nevertheless the Krakensides had been stalwarts of Malekith's war host since their arrival in Athel Loren – though it remained to be seen if that would continue.

Basicaly black ark corsairs, but....maybe something new for them& Like mixing models of seaguard and black arkl corsairs, or maybe even rangers and black ark corsairs, with HE faction passive and -ld ability from krakenlord, dreaded slvaer , for -8 lead in AOE .

4 Aeskhaine
The power of Khaine sits poorly upon the weak-willed, driving them into a self-consuming madness from which there is no escape. By the time Tyrion’s host reached the Isle of the Dead, more than half of his army had succumbed to this state. These aeskhaine were completely without fear, but seldom fought with the skills they once possessed, instead tearing at their foes with fingers and teeth in their desperation to feel blood flowing across their skin. If Tyrion triumphed at the Isle of the Dead, all elves would one day become aeskhaine.

Just badass unbreakable, maybe even rampaging unit with low stats and mix of as much models as possible.

Cool idea campaign side, where Tyrion gets a final level on the khaine tree that kills him once he is wielding the widowmaker and turns him into a summon for teclis, so he can be the blind avatar of khaine, guided by teclis (it would remove the widowmaker from being picked up again and maybe lead into confed events for United elf faction, making malekith the pheonix king and so on)

Shadowmanes maybe? Black Lions would look cool.

Eternity Guard are not possible because Wildwood Rangers use a different animation set than Phoenix/Black Guard.
-GK- Sanguinius 10 Jul, 2020 @ 12:37pm 
And what about the Wardens of Cythral, isn't their animation good either?

This comes straight from the classic Warhammer Online Game:

-Disciple of Khaine

Disciples of Khaine are members of a small and elite cult dedicated to the elf God of Murder.
They carry out Khaine's will whenever they enter into a fight, reaping the soul essence of their opponents with wicked ritual swords and chalices.

As for their role in the game perhaps they can be a hero that functions similarly to a DE Death Hag with more focus on support and casting.
