High Elves - Overview

The High Elf army was by first 10mm army - some 12 years ago. It started with a win on eBay of a moderate sized forced - and has grown and grown over the years to be a huge army. The current army is so large it rarely gets on the table in its entirety.

The core of the army is GW Warmaster figures, including the 3 different rare troop types, which I have managed to purchase for not too much. All the Warmaster figures have been purchased second hand, mainly in job lots.

As well as this core there are additions of BoFA plastic elves, and some Pendraken figures - though these additions would probably be better used to make different armies. The BoFA figures will probably be the core of a Wood Elf army.

Lead Mountain

There is a small lead mountain of Elves, just a few units, in case I need some specific figures for a game.

Rather than painting new figures, the army could do with a bit of a revisit and touch up of paint jobs, as a lot of figures have suffer chipped paint over the years. I think as these figures were the first warmaster ones they don't quite fit the bases as well as some others, so there are plenty of edges that get chipped.

Also I have changed colours for bows over the years, so these could do with standardising.

Dwarves - Overview

This is another fairly new army. Initially I had a few Dwarven infantry units from the BoFA set who where part of the Dogs of War army.  Then a few cannons where added (initially as allies for KoW Men) and some gyrocopters. This just about gave me a playable force for Warband.  Then the excellent Copplestone LoTR dwarves were available on sale - so this was enough of a reason to add these to the army - giving me a good solid core of infantry. Now I just need to paint these chaps.  The main element missing from the army are missile troops. As these are definitely a slow burner project, I am in no rush to get these and will wait and hope that Copplestone will make some Dwarves with bows.  At the minute I'm steering away from some of the GW elements like the orange bearded Troll Slayers. But I am happy with the engineering and black powder elements.
