Andrea's Teclis & retinue (219 points)

Hi guys, 
this month has been quite busy but I managed to reach the end!

I am particularly happy because this month includes, among the others, the mighty Teclis (here in disguise as a 1st level mage). It is among the first miniatures I owned and it remained painted with enamel until the last summer (not very simple decoloring...). I opted for the classic colour scheme, which also fits to the other mage of this army (March post). Needless to say, it was a pure joy to paint it: a very fine sculpt with a lot of details and incredibly characterful. I hope you all enjoy the result, as I do!


The retinue of Teclis is made by two nice Shadow Warriors units. Back in the days, when I played the 4th/5th edition, Shadow Warriors were basically ignored by all High Elves players of my gaming club. I never understood why, because I find them very cool (four of them were bought together with Teclis, more than 20 years ago). Now, I own ten of them and divided in two units: after all, they are scouts and scouts work better in small units.

So, here's the first unit (mysteriously known as "the white shields")


And here's the second unit (enigmatically called "the blue shields")


Last but no the least in the Teclis' retinue, a deadly Repeater Bolt Thrower (the second of this army). I selected a different colors for helm feathers, the sash and accessories, to distinguish from the other one (just in case I manage to play a game...).


 Well, this month points: Teclis (as 1st level mage) 59 pts + 10 Shadow Warriors (two units x5 elves each) 110 pts + a Repeater Bolt Thrower 50 pts. Total = 219 points!


 So, the last month is approaching and I prepared a few changes to the original army list, with some replacements and a couple of additions. Stay tuned!

Ciao, Andrea

  2. fantastic work! loving your colour scheme and the obvious logic to your army choices. I confess to being nostalgically 'turned' to considering a 'small' elf force! :-O
