Sorry for not having any updates the past couple of weeks. I have been busy working on this: http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k617/sporudy/20110324132508-1.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k617/sporudy/20110324132522.jpg http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k617/sporudy/20110324132536.jpg

Awesome job! Love the boat.

There is also a thread on here by another member that has done up a unit of Lion Princes. I cannot remember his name off the top of my head...I am also going the same route but have been distracted by other things and have not made too much progress.

I have been using a Krylox (i think thats the spelling) white primer on my HE's and it's works pretty darn well. It's only like 6-7 dollars at Wal-Mart here in the states. Glad to see that I'm not the only Chrace player that dabbles in 40k playing Space Wolves.

Are you going all wood elf for the army or just with archers? I love the wood elf armies based on different seasons. There was a cool painting article in WD a few years back that showed samples of models painted up based on different parts of the years. Good job on the paint scheme so far, post a pi...

Yup, love seeing conversion work!

They'd have to exterminate the natives. This starts to sound a lot like Real World History

Well if they couldn't force them them out they may of tried to breed them out.

Those would be the one's already married....

After the fiasco with the mage model, I opted to go with red as I can do better shading in red than green.

Ok here is a picture of the new color scheme for the army. I still need to do some touch ups and finish the base, but that will have to wait until I get my new glasses next week. Getting old sucks..... http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k617/sporudy/High%20Elves%20Army/20110226193038-1.jpg http://i...

The suggestions above are all great ones, another one I would like to suggest is going with a small point total. This would give you more flexability in the unit sizes without having to field every single piece to reach size requirements. Go with 1500 or 1800pt battles until you can get the addition...

I have a nice collection of Mage Knight Dungeons along with a few sets of the floor and wall tiles that one could purchase as well. Never played the straight Mage Knight version but they did have a nice modular castle you could purchase.

Also, that banner that limits shooting I believe is the storm banner. In the FAQ for Skaven 1.4: Page 111 – Storm Banner Add “One use only”. Change the start of the third sentence to “All shooting attacks that don’t use BS [...]”. Those lil furry rats can only mess up our shooting for 1 turn not eve...

If I'm not mistaken not only is the dispell scroll arcane, you can only take 1 in an army. You cannot have multiple dispell scrolls in an army anymore.

As a reminder for future games, you are capped at 3 Eagles, so 4 would be too much. That is incorrect....High Elves are few in number, but their armies are trained and equipped to standards so high that they are the envy of all other races. To represent this, an army may include up to 6 of each Spe...

I like the look so far. Have you given any thought of runnning the colors on a diagonal for a few of the models to break up the horizontal striping on a whole unit? I am a lil concerned what the spearman killed that left that mustard colored blood on the blade. Was it perhaps Col. Mustard in the dra...

If you treat a book with respect it will last. Books today are mainly glued together and not stitched like in eons past. Unlike stitching, glue will eventually break down over time. If you bend your book, open it and then forcefully flatten it to the page you want so it won't close up, expect the bo...

I have been toying with different compositions, magic items and this is what I have come up with. Lord 315pts Level 4 High Elf Archmage - Life (joins LSG) Talisman of Defiance, Silver wand: 315pts Hero’s 461pts Noble BSB (Joins White Lions) 168pts Armor of Caledor, Great Weapon, Guardian Phoenix Nob...

While I haven't picked up a brush, still not happy with how the mage is coming along paint wise, the archers I ordered did come in so I was able to assemble the 1st of 2 10-man units. I also was able to do a lil kit bashing and came up with an alternate AM/mage. http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k...

Darn them new fangled GF's......j/k

From what I can see, the BRB has the core magic items avail to all armies and the core AB's are being designed to build off of that. When I look at the magic items in our AB, a good majority of the items are 'one time use only' items. For the points on many of those I would rather add another White ...

well, you could always place a new head in his hands and say that he's out of his mind from magic.

I will say this first and formost, I consider myself a noob in most regards as I haven't read any of the novels put out by GW and know only what I have gleened off of AB's and forums. That being said I would have to slightly disagree that DE's wear pink lacey thongs. They strike me as more of purple...

Overally great looking tower. I do have to agree about the bare tree. Sort looks like it was added at the last second and detracts from the rest of the piece. The only other concern I have is the skeleton infront of said tree. It's right leg is hanging out past the edge of the ground just about at t...

After some bidding wars on Ebay, one of the larger seller of bits finally offered pairs of white lion mounts for a buy it now price. With the purchase of 4 lions and an extra set of chariot rider heads I will finally be able to start the assembly of a unit of Lion Princes. This will give me a unit o...

So does that mean that the guys that I played against cheated when they said that if I wanted to fight using multiple ranks of spearmen that they wouldnt gain the benefit from their shields in CC?

In 7th Ed when you took shields for spearmen they couldn't benefit from the shield armor save in CC as a spear was a 2h weapon. In reading the BRB for 8th ed, the description of the spears doesn't list them as 2h weapons. Does this mean that your spearmen or LSG can now fight with in CC with spear a...

While I must commend you on your grey(green) stuff skills, the image from behind reminds me of the coneheads and their love rings they would toss on each other's head.

In reviewing some great eagles in another post from the CMON I came across the following model set for release this month: http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=72163 My question is at 32mm would it greatly outsize the rest of the models in the army? Or with the size creep of the n...

I had not spent many a day reading the works of writers of a time far removed from the present, I would be at a greater loss of understanding the peculiar dialect thou hath used so far. The mere thought of seeing ranks upon ranks of gleaming spears sallying forth to converge on those so inclined to ...
