Here is the Army List- with the CORRECT 4th edition points (I hope)
2 Crossbows 100 pts
General + Chariot 218pts (164 pts + 54pts)
Battle Standard- 101 pts
Reaver Champion- 51 pts
Reaver Hero- 116 pts
Reaver musician 52 pts
4 Reavers- 124 pts
11 White Lions + shields 187 pts
10 Tower of Snow/Swords of Hoeth + 48 pts champion 225pts
1174 pts
Not sorry to have done these troops which I have wanted to paint for a long, long time. And I love painting challenges, they keep me going. But it did get to be a bit of a drag at the end, as I barely know how to play WF, and prefer doing figures that will see play in the near future. Still it is nice to have 1000pts more of High Elves to add to the couple of thou I have now. Eventually, 5000pts!
So here it is unit by unit
2 Crossbows from the House of the Swallow 100 pts
General Feanor and his chariot 218pts (164 pts + 54pts)
Reavers- the Seven Sons of Feanor, includes Army Banner, musician and Hero (444 pts)
11 House of the Mole- White Lions + shields 187 pts
So in total 1174pts. Not too shabby
In truth, the few times I played 4th, I did so with a 5th edition High Elf book, which is why the points got messed up. But now they are listed as standard 4th for the end of the challenge. Since all my friends play 3rd anyway, it is just numbers...
For the next challenge (I am a sucker for challenges!)
DEMONS!
Demons call to me, so my next army will be RoC or 5th demons depending on the rulebooks available. I will definitely keep up the inspiration to paint if I am painting those. Maybe some on round bases. (go ahead and shame me, I like 40K) I have been doing a lot of demonic types lately, and have a shoebox full of them set aside for the next challenge. Next best thing to a 40K challenge are the demons of chaos (short of calling howling banshees witch elves, that is)!
And thank you Iannick, Jeff, and all the challengers for making this happen. It was a blast!
Great army! Love the snow swords.
ReplyDeleteGreat write up, awesome painting.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking army, great looking army pic. I think we all suffer from not really having the opportunity to play that much. We should try to figure out a way to do an OWAC Oldhammer meet up.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds great!
DeleteY'all should come visit Montreal. It's a lovely city ;-)
DeleteGreat wrap-up! I enjoyed reading about your mash-up of WH figures and Tolkien lore.
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a lovely army, well done!
Very nice army and write up.
ReplyDeleteAmazing army Lissanne, it's quite the little strike force. ;) That chariot is my favorite of all, and the cosplay for the army shot WIN!!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!! YES!!! you certainly win the Army pose contest! that is awesome...as is your tidy little force of Middle earth elves. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Lissanne. The story behind your army is fantastic
ReplyDeleteExcellent army, and nice background! A great job, Lissanne
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comments everyone! But what Tolkien freak doesn't have a Numenorean helmet laying about! I couldn't resist!
ReplyDeleteLove the Tolkien background. Fantastic colors!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking army and background!
ReplyDeleteThis was one of my favourite armies in the whole challenge due to the attention to detail linking the minis to the Tolkien mythology. Proper Oldhammer! *Doffs cap*
