A bolt thrower with multishot can work wonders too ;) as long as you make sure you can have a clear shot.

well, i did write quite abit for you all in my dealing with traitors article. but here is my extract on Dark Riders from it.


Dark Riders: Ahead of the armies of Druchii ride the heralds of Naggaroth, the dreaded Dark Riders who will serve as your eyes and ears. They are masters of sudden attacks and daring raids, scouring the land in search of the foe, laying ambushes for their supply trains and attacking with deadly speed against enemy reinforcements.

Strengths: Fast Calvary, Mark of Slannesh, Repeater Crossbows, Highly Mobile.
Weaknesses: Low Toughness, Low Armour.
Tactics: Usually when facing Fast Calvary I try to Panic them, but with the Mark of Slannesh they are immune to this usual tactic. Instead you should Counter them with your own unit that is Fast enough to take them out. This Role usually falls to Dark riders, Harpies or Shades.
