Jeff's Dark Elves - February (190 points)

February put January to shame in terms of competing demands on my time, so I'm delighted to be writing this post instead of the one explaining why I had to use my mulligan.

This month I've added the remaining  5 Dark Riders, including their standard bearer, and the first of the Ogres.

Here's the points breakdown:

4 Dark Riders @ 22 = 88

1 Dark Rider Standard Bearer @ 44

1 Ogre Mercenary with Heavy Armor and Double Handed Weapon @ 58

On to the models - First the Dark Riders...

I was struggling to come up with a banner design that was more than just a pink streamer....the skulls were a serendipitous bitz box find, and fit well thematically with the helmet banner last year's infantry are carrying.

The completed unit poses for a group shot

...and next the Ogre.

I'm particularly pleased with how the face turned out on this model.

Heavy armor might be a bit of a stretch for this model, but he's the most lightly armored of the group.

You might have noticed that the Ogre's basing doesn't match the elves, that's intentional, as long term there are several armies the Ogres might march to war with, and I wanted something that would blend reasonably well with all of them.

So that's February done in the nick of time, perhaps March will play nice (doubtful).  March's plan is 4 more Ogres and the first 2 witch elves.
