High Elves Regiment of Renown missile infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Queen and the Crone.
Recruitment[ | ]
Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
Description[ | ]
The Shadow Warriors are masters of ambush and guerrilla warfare, and are elite warriors even among other Elves. They strike swiftly and noiselessly from concealment with deadly accurate volleys from their longbows, before charging forth to slay any survivors with a flurry of blades. Even at times when the populace of Ulthuan does not consider itself at war, there is no respite for the Shadow Warriors. Weary and grim, they constantly patrol the barren shores and bleakest hills of Nagarythe. They keep a constant vigil against approach of the evil Druchii who sank their homeland beneath the waves.
Attributes[ | ]
- Missile Infantry
- ▲ Good Range: This unit has a larger range than most other units of the same class. This allows it to take out hostile missile units before they can come into firing range.
- ▲ Vanguard Deployment: This unit can deploy in an expanded deployment area, allowing it to start the battle within striking distance of the enemy - or somewhere unexpected.
- ▲ Master Ambusher: This unit can move whilst hidden in any terrain, firing in any direction even whilst running!
Abilities[ | ]
Strategy[ | ]
This Regiment of Renown gains the ability 
Snipe and 
Loec's Shroud which helps them hide and escape enemies. Snipe is useful as it requires the foe to have an enemy nearby in order to target this unit with melee or ranged attacks. Thus, these units are some of the ultimate harassing units, sneaking up and targeting a vulnerable unit and kiting back into hiding with their ability. If they get caught, they also have decent melee stats and may win a prolonged engagement.
Like every other High Elf archer unit outside of the Sisters of Avelorn, their armour piercing at ranged is quite bad so avoid heavily armoured targets unless you want to simply overwhelm with volume of fire. Notably, their armour-piercing in melee is good for an archer unit.
