A quick review is in order:
JANUARY
5 Dark Riders & Level 5 wizard on Cold one (210 pts)
FEBRUARY
5 Dark Riders with Standard, and Ogre Mercenary (190 pts)
MARCH
Mulligan (Apparently designing and painting sets for the kids' school
play and painting miniatures is too much painting for one month...)
APRIL
4 Ogre Mercenaries (232 pts)
MAY
10 Witch Elves with extra hand weapons & poison, Ogre Champion (250 pts)
JUNE
5 Hell Drakes with Lances (215 pts)
And here's the completed force for OWAC II, weighing in at 1097 points
The Dark Elves pose with their Dread Overlord
As I had hoped, combining the dark elves I painted for OWAC I with OWAC II's output and upgrading a couple of unit leaders to champions and promoting a couple of heroes allows me to put a 3000 point army in the field:
19 Warriors with standard and musician - (231)
Warrior Champion - Hero 10 with light armor, double handed weapon - (92)
10 Dark Riders with standard - (142)
10 Witch Elves with extra hand weapons and poison (140)
10 Witch Elves with extra hand weapons, crossbows and poison (170)
5 Hell Drakes with lances (215)
11 Crossbowmen with standard (156)
Crossbow Champion - Hero 10 with light armor and crossbow (93)
12 Crossbowmen with standard (169)
Hidden in unit - Assassin 10 - with light armor, extra hand weapon and crossbow (94)
2 Whelp Masters (30) leading 5 Chaos Hounds (115)
2 Repeater Bolt Throwers (116)
5 Ogre Mercenaries with heavy armor and double handed weapons (290)
Ogre Mercenary Champion (Hero 5) with heavy armor and double handed weapon (110)

Wizard 15 with Cold one and protective runes (235)
Total: 2997 points
Technically not completely legal per Warhammer Armies, as I'm short 20 warriors, but that's more like guidelines anyhow...right?
Impressive army! And you can get those warriors done in OWAC III, right?
ReplyDeleteNo. They're about half done, so I would have to strip them and start over to do them as part of OWAC III; I'm happy with how they're turning out and have no desire to start over.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDelete3000 pts! Booom! :D
ReplyDeleteAwesome sight, it's a gloriously colourful Oldhammerish force!
ReplyDeleteFrom one DE general to another, excellent army you have there!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing the challenge with a well painted force. Great seeing it combined to form a larger army, well done. And yes... guidelines... Looks like a great army for oldschool gaming.
ReplyDeletestunning work on those evil elfs...great job.
