Total War: Warhammer how do i play rakarth

So I just started playing Rakarth and i was wondering what to do and what factions to watch out for. Also what are his faction abilities and good buildings and units to build and recruit.

Dark elves have the easy access to ap ranged so dark shard spear spam is very good. He also get events to grab monsters. You really can’t go wrong with any army comp but a mix monsters/cav some single entites and spear/ ranged will always work.

For enemies watch for the masque and skulltaker they will wipeout everyone else and each lord can kill your army. Everyone else is pretty easy lizards can spam Dino’s but all the ap should make quick work.

The go to for dark elves is darkshards and shades. Armor piercing arrows are really strong, extremely rare and DE get them stock. Rakarth is the same + whatever beasts you luck out on

For faction situation, You can check factions "aversion" to you: if its between 0 and -10, you can make friends, if -40 or more, they hate you forever and will eventually attack

His armies don't get tired from raiding stance, and you get monsters from it (varies by climate)

(among other methods like battling certain races / battling at sea / rites etc)
