I had great fun doing the challenge, and while I met the challenge goals, I didn't quite meet the goal I set for myself, falling one unit short. I had planned to get all the required minimums painted in the challenge, but ended up short one unit of 20 warriors. However, since the Warhammer Armies book is based on a 3000 point force and says to adjust requirements for significantly smaller and larger forces, I feel comfortable saying I have a legal 1500 point force to put on the table.
The army list:
Characters - 20.9%
142 pts: General: Level 15 Hero with Heavy Armor, Shield and a Barded Warhorse
118 pts: Level 10 Wizard
54 pts: Level 5 Assassin with Light Armor, Extra Hand Weapon and Crossbow
Rank and File - 65.7%
242 pts: 20 Warriors with Standard Bearer & Musician
156 pts: 12 Crossbowmen with Standard Bearer
156 pts: 12 Crossbowmen with Standard Bearer
170 pts: 10 Witch Elves with Extra Hand Weapons, Crossbows and Poisoned Attacks
116 pts: 2 Repeating Bolt Throwers
145 pts: 2 Whelp Masters with 5 Chaos Hounds
Monstrous Host - 13.3%
200 pts: Hydra
Grand Total: 1499 points
The army prepares to take to the field and bring glory to its Dread Overlord.
Awesome awesome awesome. very well done. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Jeff. That hydra is awesome
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a unique looking Dark Elf army. The use of colors other than black & purple is inspired.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, especially the use of bright colours which means they would fit in a Slaanesh army quite easily
ReplyDeleteBeautiful army! Still love the banner on the blue and yellow warriors- so great! And love the warriors too!
ReplyDeleteI concur, great looking army. I like how you varied the colors but kept it cohesive. I'm sort of working on my plastic toy monster as well. I think yours looks great.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work Jeff! I like the poison green that ties it all together, it's a great and different look to Dark Elves, and it works!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I shall be looking at this if I ever get round to painting mine. Great effort :)
ReplyDeleteThanks all, things are (finally) getting back to normal; I actually managed to pick up a paintbrush for 20 minutes or so last night. :)
