If you have played much Warhammer recently you have noticed the new books have been making the armies tougher.  On other web pages you can find plenty of complaints about game balance or how Demons and Vampire counts are broken.  Well not to argue with web scholars but I am more annoyed by the dark elves.  Don't get me wrong they do not have as many things which seem broken but it might have the most what the @#%&* moments of any army codex.  For example the assassins might be broken but why do they have BS9?  Do they need this?  What does this hit on anyway?  Wood elf lords are only BS6 so where does BS9 come from?  Sure this is not the same type of game problem as the assassins always swinging first, or their use of rune of khaine and manbane, but it is a lot more bizarre.  Like Kouran who "once sacrificed half his army to draw an enemy into a trap" but is only a hero of a unit with a max size of 20 so that is only 10 guys.  What about the hydra having fiery breath and regeneration.   It must suck to be a mommy hydra cause junior keeps breathing on her.  While talking about the hydra why do the beastmasters who babysit this beast have 3 attacks?  Shouldn't the genius running the armies form up units of these guys instead of spearmen?    Best of all these is the use of eternal hatred for the whole army.  Why does this not mean the same as eternal hatred for Vampires?  Oh well you can't expect them to remember vocab words from 2 books back.
