If so, then I like it, it gives them a Pirate-ish, or more seafaring look that's lacking from any of the other races. I like the Cthulhu banner, that's a nice touch. I'd laugh if their next Monster looked like Shoggoth.

Peasant Group: Members Posts: 22 Member No.: 639 Joined: 22-April 08	Well the corsairs have always been pirates, so it makes sense for them. As for the rest of the army, I'm not sure. Some of the fluff in the new High Elf book makes it sound as if the dark elves will have a slightly different feel in this edition. I think they'll be interesting.

Great Sword Group: MWU Supporter Posts: 195 Member No.: 536 Joined: 9-February 08	It seems that the Dark Elves are being designed to be more of an offensive army, sorely needed since the previous lists encouraged defensive play which doesn't make much sense fluff-wise. I think we will see less and less Dark Elf armies with spearmen units - corsairs will become the 'norm' for the standard core choice. It's hard to justify taking spearmen instead of an awesome offensive unit that has lots of attacks and can be kitted out for multiple roles.
