Blue's Wood Elves...The Final Army Pics + Bonus Figure!

What a long strange trip it has been!!  

...But it has been fun and productive...I deem the Old World Army Challenge to be a big success personally.  I've cranked through more figures in the last six months than I have in quite awhile.  I'm a notoriously slow painter and the challenge has really motivated me to be productive.   

I'm already planning next 1000 point force for the next challenge. 

But!  Now is not the time to talk about the future and "other armies!!!" 

Now is the time to talk about what has been accomplished over the last six months!

It was quite an experience to finally fully assemble the army on a proper terrain board and take some pics to share.  I always find army photography to be kind of a pain in the ass...and this time proved no different! (I need to make a dedicated photo set up and terrain board for photography!) But after trying twice I was able to get a decent set of pictures that document this army well.

Here we go!

The Army of Sarthayer the Enforcer.

Sarthayer's small but potent Wood Elf army patrols the fringes of Elven territory in the thick woodlands the Humans call Drakenvald Forest.  This fast moving and hard hitting force protects the northern margins of the forest where the trees fade away into the grass covered foot hills of the World's Edge Mountains.  Calum Pass, the Notch, and other lesser known pathways through the mountains, allow goblin raiders from the other side of the mountains to make occasional forays into Elven territory.  It is the job of Sarthayer and his army to detect these intruders, track them, and if possible destroy them.  Sarthayer's ruthless efficiency as a war leader, and his penchant for grisly war trophies, have earned him the nickname the Enforcer.

And here is the obligatory Warhammer Armies "Pose" 

I was trying to channel Kev Adams "pose"...but my Old man face kept getting in the way...lol

There you have it.  This has been a great force to work on and I'm very happy with how they have turned out.  I'm really looking forward to getting them on the table ASAP.  I may continue to add a few things to this army...and continue to flesh out its fluff...once it has been blooded it will have its own stories to tell.

Thanks to all of you for coming along for this fun ride.  All the participants have been a real pleasure to share this challenge with and I look forward to motivating each other through another challenge soon.

Cheers,

Blue
