Master

is a Hero unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Shadow and the Blade.
== Recruitment ==
* Unlocked with: Halls of Mustering or Raider Lodges
==Description==
Those Dark Elf nobles that manage to survive to adulthood are sent on a year-long raiding expedition. Dark Elves abhor weakness of any sort, so those youths that fail to make their mark during this time do not endure long thereafter. Some are slain by ambitious rivals; others are murdered by their own families, who can neither tolerate nor risk a weakling's presence. Should the stripling acquit himself well during this rite of passage, he begins his ascent through Naggarothi society.
However, this is a ladder with very greasy rungs, and more nobles perish in the climb than ever reach the heady heights of becoming a Dreadlord. To alleviate the understandable paranoia engendered by the Dark Elves' treacherous society, a rigid code of etiquette has evolved. The lowborn classes may not approach within three sword lengths of a noble without being summoned. A retainer may stand as close as two sword lengths whilst a trusted retainer, such as a bodyguard, may stand just outside a single sword's length. The closest, most intimate space is reserved for lovers, playthings and mortal foes (the latter being far more trustworthy within reach than not).

== Strategy ==
A capable anti-large unit, put them on a Cold One Chariot if you need an anti-infantry chariot unit (if you have the DLC, use Death Hags since the Cauldron of Blood provides some pretty good buffs instead) or a Dark Pegasus if you want some sort of snipe-duelists against enemy lords that are large or to wipe out artillery. 
For all purposes, this is the Dark Elf version of the Noble. They are capable anti-large and armour piercing duelists. They should be kept nearby a lord to keep them safe via Guardian or run a supporting/flanking role with cavalry units.
