the first time i was introduced to dark elves was the drow in d&d videogames and i always thought they were cool and they were the typical dark elves for me for many years.
then i somehow got introduced to warhammer, never bought anything of it just read all the armybooks over and over i borrowed from some guy who strangely bought all of them which i first thought is a requirement ^^ (seemed massively overpriced for me aswell) well i was confused warhammer dark elves didnt have the black skin and white hair but i kind of liked them because how the models look and i love playing rogues in all kind of videogames and their appearances somehow remind me of them , cant really explain why. their mentality of dishing out lots of damage but die horribly if get hit might have contributed to that
so i basically never owned any single warhammer model (meaning no battle ever too) but iam not clueless because i read a lot on websites about various armies, the official page, and i could look at all armybooks of the latest edition because of that guy and always was interested in the gw stuff, hence the term semi newbie.
i might start buying some dark elves around christmas if some money is left, because for my birthday that guy from mentioned before gave me the latest dark elves army book (yays lots of money saved!). iam primarily interested in painting though, because my city isnt that big, so there is no real tabletop or trading cards scene here and i will have a serious lack of enemies.
because this page seems to be the only one where not everybody thinks they are total badass and have to teach you because your own ideas suck, i thought for a potential future dark elf player this page is the best place to be and i hope to get some intel on 30000000000 questions i have later about building an army (hopefully asked in the right section)
sincerely,
your maggotcarrier
