Jeff McCaffrey's Dark Elves II - Introduction

This year I'll be continuing to build the Dark Elf army I began in OWAC 1.  I'll be rounding out the force with some cavalry and Mercenary Ogres.  I also intend to finish up the models that were only half painted at the end of the last challenge - since they're partially painted, I can't count them for this year's challenge, but I'll be using the challenge to motivate myself to get them finished.

The List:
10 Dark riders with Standard - 242 pts.

5 Hell Drakes - 195

5 Ogre Mercenaries with Double Handed Weapons - 290
1 Ogre Champion - 110

1 Level 5 Wizard on Cold One - 100

10 Witch Elves with Extra Hand Weapon, Poison - 140

Total 1077

The cunning plan to get them all painted:
Month 1
5 Dark Riders
1 Wizard on Cold one

Month 2
4 Dark Riders
1 Dark Rider with Standard
1 Ogre

Month 3
4 Ogres
2 Witch Elves

Month 4
8 Witch Elves
1 Ogre Champion

Month 5
5 Hell Drakes

Relatively low model counts, so it should be achievable in spite of what promises to be a busy spring.  However, since I can't leave well enough alone...here are the models laid down incomplete at the end of the last challenge that I plan to tack on to my challenge painting.

Level 5 Hero on Warhorse, Heavy Armor, Shield - 58

20 Warriors with Standard & Music - 242

15 Warriors with Halberds - 195

I'm planning to knock out the hero in month 1; 5 warriors a month for months 2-5 and the halberdiers in month 6 - we'll see how it goes.....

And of course, a little thank you for our benevolent overlord to round things out.

Let the painting begin!
