Andrea’s High Elf army wrap-up

Hi guys,

so it’s time to wrap up the last months and try to summarize this third OWAC.

First of all, I want to thank you all, excellent people and Benevolent Overlord, for your support, jokes, suggestions and the great painting. These six months have been long and difficult, and having such a great company motivated me to achieve a successful end. Broken shoulder, then quarantine that do not helped at all (although forced to stay at home, it was like working twice - you know three kids...) and, last but not least, I need to confess that at the beginning I was really uncertain about the army selection. High elves were on my lead pile for a long time (uhm... they actually have always been into the lead pile!) and there was a reason for this: I was never convinced about them! But, hey OWAC is a challenge and, therefore, the challenge was accepted.

One think I have been always sure: the color choice. OWACers companions well know I like the classic color palette and pattern of Warhammer Fantasy in the 90s. So, I wanted my High Elves to spring out directly from thirty year old White Dwarf. So a little revisited classic color scheme was the most obvious choice. And you know what? There were a couple of comments from you that mentioned exactly the reminding of White Dwarf pages , and I can’t be more proud of my work!

Ok, stop writing and start showing. Here’s my OWAC3 army:

The command:

Teclis, need a personal shot:

And the other mage:

Now, rank-&-file:

Archers

Spearmen

And, finally, monsters!

Uhm... yet, another monster!

Well, my friends, so here is concluded my third challenge. I wish to see you all next year, with new, old school armies and stories!

Ciao, Andrea
