The Hellebronai (Dreadspears)

are a Regiment of Renown melee infantry unit introduced in Total War: Warhammer II with The Queen and the Crone.
== Recruitment ==
* Recruited with: Regiments of Renown Recruitment panel
==Description==
Dark Elf armies are formed around a core of utterly merciless soldiers, schooled in slaughter by a lifetime of survival amidst the twisted streets of Naggaroth's cities. Most such warriors are conscripted into service, but a few muster willingly, having identified some manner in which the battle will play to their personal advantage. Dreadspears consider themselves to be true soldiers, and look down upon the Bleakswords as brash adventurers unsuited to the proper business of battle. Through blood spilt and shed, they have learnt the strength of discipline, of the locked shieldwall bristling with wicked spearpoints. Dreadspear regiments are therefore the reliable bastions around which a Dreadlord can form his battleplan. Whilst the army's wilder warriors roam freely to slaughter at will, the Dreadspears hold key positions and repel counter-attacks.
==Attributes==
* Spear Infantry
==Strategy==
Dreadspears with poison attacks and expert charge defence. Poison allows them to weaken the combat effectiveness of their enemies, making them even more tenacious to deal with.
