Gav Thorpe explains a focused revision intended to make more of the Dark Elf miniature range viable without replacing the army book. The changes address underused troops and inconsistencies between models and rules: Warriors become cheaper, Executioners gain their visible armour, Cold One units receive different ways to manage unreliability, and the Black Guard’s hatred becomes more enduring. Notes on magic, assassins, the Cauldron and Beastmasters reveal why straightforward, memorable amendments were preferred over a larger redesign.

A small Cadian platoon holds a tomb entrance against Necron Warriors that return through Sustained Assault. The defenders cannot win by exterminating the attackers; they must prevent a unit leaving the tomb long enough for the mission to succeed. Suggested platoon assembly links the scenario to a manageable set of kits, and modelling perks reward extra grenades or a converted sergeant. Simple household terrain represents the narrow exit and a pillared area with deliberately asymmetric visibility rules.
