Oh come on. Wood Elves can hit pretty hard, they just don't last in a drag out fight.

And that's exactly why Shadow Warriors are not my favorite warband by any measure. Just make sure that if you do get into CC it's because you choose to, not the other guy. And choose wisely.

The idea is to shoot up the guys I don't want to fight while running away from them.

Right. The only unfortunate part is that "the guys I don't want to fight" is almost everything. (For a campain anyway, if it's a one off then that changes everything. But mordheim as a one off gives up half the fun.)

They are a very good war band, and can be a lot of fun. But they are definatly not everyones cup of tea. And you may find some opponents being rather grumpy about them.

I have no idea how the game is played, but the shadow warriors stat line isn't bad, the s3/t3 is a pain, but they aren't that bad. How good are everyone elses stats?

It's more the price tag then the stats. It's very hard for shadiow warriors to replace losses, and fairly easy for the vast majority of other warbands. Whatever you do, get all your heros to start, and DO NOT loose one. You'll never catch up.

Ah yea, I have eight elves in my war band, the guy with the Beastmen has twelve, and I'm assuming the Skaven guy has even more ^_^'

And if a hero goes out of action you don't get to roll for him in the exploration phase. That's where all your income comes from, so every dice is precious.

More work done on them tonight, LGS for gap filling, pouches from the Phoenix Guard sprue, and various feathers from al over the place.

One of the things that's fun (yet sometimes frusterating at the same time) is adding equipment to your models as you buy them new gear.

If I were to model a new warband now I'd probably use magnets in the arms to make weapon swaps easy. It's not such a big deal for shadow warriors though.

They looks great - much better than the original Mordheim shadow warriors (those are curiously ugly models for high elves)!

Good lord but those were awful. I'm sure they were intended for the main HE range but got rejected. That's where a lot of the latter warbands came from (well ostlanders and averlanders anyway). I just use my 6e metals, no real need for much equipment modification on them after all.

Have fun! It's one of my favorites. And it's not so bad when you get addicted. Even 10 warbands is cheaper and less painting then one army haha.

It's a very cool model. Mine used to double as a shadow armor and great weapon noble.
