Dark Riders

are a melee cavalry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Plateau of Dark Steeds or Reaver Stables
==Description==
In the grim days when armies of Daemons besieged Ulthuan, keen-eyed messengers from Nagarythe kept guard for any signs of a daemonic intrusion. These Dark Riders wore cloaks of black feathers, invoking the raven-headed god Nethu to keep them hidden from the eyes of the enemy. During the civil war, the Dark Riders earned a more sinister reputation. They traveled ahead of Nagarythe's hosts, sowing terror and confusion wherever they rode, burning villages and driving their people into the wilds. In battle, Dark Riders take delight in skirting the enemy flanks to attack war machines and cut lines of supply. They revel in the prospect of running down terror-stricken victims, dragging out every moment of wild panic as long as possible before delivering the final heart-seeking strike.
==Attributes==
* Shock Cavalry
==Strategy==
A great and versatile unit for harassing enemy archers/artillery and chasing routing units. Though they are one of the worst light cavalry units in the game, they still have a solid charge bonus of 40. They are capable of serving as a weak shock cav in a pinch and will inflict a decent amount of damage when they get the charge, just make sure they are pulled out of sustained combat.
