—Description of the Bleakswords from Total War: Warhammer II.[2]
Warhammer Dark Elf Bleaksword

A Dark Elf Bleaksword armed with the sword, the weapon of his trade, as depicted for Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.

Bleakswords are the sword-armed Dark Elf Warriors who serve as heavy infantry in the armies of Naggaroth.

Role

All Dark Elves are arrogant beyond tolerance, but Bleakswords far outstrip even other Naggarothi in this regard. Each believes himself to be the greatest warrior of his age, needless of aid and heedless of danger. Bleakswords forsake the spear and the repeater crossbow, deeming the former a peasant's weapon and the latter a craven armament. Instead, they wield slender duelling swords in the Druchii style that flash past an enemy's guard to slit his throat or pierce his heart.[1a]

Notable Regiments

  • Soulskulls - A regiment of Naggarond swordsmen who amazingly have stayed together and loyal to one another in the Dark Elves' famously fractious society.
