Thanks guys, appreciate the positive feedback It sounds like your archers and bolt throwers are just as blind as mine. :) Just the archers actually, my bolt throwers do so well that my opponent complains about them being too powerful. A Dwarf player, who brings an organ gun every game, thinks elven ...

Bolt throwers and the mounted Noble done, just leaves 18 cavalry to paint

Quite the hiatus, but we're back! My friend and I finally decided that board games were just not enough and we needed to get real minis back on the table again and actually play with the stuff we've been talking about for the last few years, so he pulled his Dwarves out of their dusty case and I got...

Yeah, I made the mistake of buying some orks for 40K some years ago. They're still in a box in my closet with a "someday" label on them. Maybe if I ever live as long as an elf I may get around to actually doing that army. Units of 30 ANYTHING generally aren't something that I approve of! R...

Work progresses on the project. Got the Swordmasters finished up, did them as a unit of 20 with an extra command so they can pslit into 2 units of 12 if I want to. Painting the first rank was fun, but decided to batch paint the next 3 ranks all at once which only took a couple afternoons, but was ut...

The Asur of the Warhammer Old World were always more subtle with their magics, using magics in the creation process and infusing them into the traditional weapons, or using magic to create regular weapons and armor with unusual materials. They seemed to be more concerned with perfecting a proven ite...

The seaguard in the back are the same seaguard, I just repainted the shields white (they were blue before) to really differentiate them even more from the Spearmen. The helmets are the actual dreadspear helmets with the forehead hole filled in w/ putty. With the newest ones, I carved the faceguard o...

Been a couple weeks but I've not been completely idle. Infinity Imperial Army models got painted and I got 2nd place in the ITS tournament with them, pretty happy w/ that performance.Was supposed to go back to painting elves, but had some things pop up that made that difficult. Made a total of 5 Hig...

Probably a "GW web exclusive" item. You should be able to have another shop (online or not) order it, the Dreadspears are GW web exclusives, but I was able to order them from an online store I've used in the past for 20% off and they had GW ship em directly to me. The store you choose just...

It's certainly worth picking up, I got it unboxed but still on sprue for $20 USD, it makes both a mounted and a foot model and I still have parts to convert a BSB out of a Sea Guard. Same for the mage kit, I picked it up from the same ebay seller and made the mistake of cutting the feet off the floa...

yup, just the base Noble kit. I've got the horse and rider built and ready for primer too, you get a LOT of pieces that they don't show in the pics. Same for the Mage kit, you get a lot of optional weapons and staves and arms to really build them up in multiple ways that aren't shown, great sets 4 M...

Olthannon - you are absolutely correct about the warjack/construct being too bland, but the Retribution warjack designs really resist any easy painting techniques. They have such large, round, featureless areas that it would take me much more effort to paint in detail than I'm willing to do to that ...

Thanks guys! Terrain isn't mine, belongs to a shop I recently started going to while my normal FLGS is down for remodeling. Upper-right building looks scratch built but the bottom left house is resin and the right house and stone walls I recognize as Pegasus Hobbies prepainted terrain, also a couple...

I'd always wanted to do a High Elf army since I started WHFB in 6th ed, but the basic spearmen and archers were so absolutely terrible that I couldn't. I picked up some of the wonderful Isle of Blood models, but very strongly disliked the huge blocks of basic infantry that ruled 8th edition. Recentl...
