Lissanne's Middle Earth High Elf May Wrap-up

Well, I now have a 4th edition High Elf army from the Battle of  Unnumbered Tears by Tolkien (1174 pts)

Lissanne's Feanorian Reavers, part 2 Extra! Extra! (93pts)

3 Reavers with shield, bow and spear, 93pts

Lissanne's High Elves- Waiting for Feanor or someone like him (279pts)

This month I have done my mandatory General on a chariot.  I have been calling him Feanor, but when it came down to it, I didn't think the figure I had represents Feanor well at all. So I matched the paint scheme to my army banner, and it will be a useful leader, or a hero if I find my Feanor later on. (General 160+4 for sword, spear, heavy armor, Chariot 84 total 248pt)

Lissanne's Feanorean Reavers - Part 1 Reaver's Command (269pts)

 I said I was going to take my time on the Reavers, and I am.  As it turns out though, there is no need to mulligan.

Lissanne's High Elf Tower of Snow/Swords of Hoeth (208 pts)

10 Swords (16 each), including standard bearer, musician and champion (+48 pts)

'There too were the folk of the Pillar and the Tower of Snow. and both these kindred were marshalled by Penlod'- the Book of Lost Tales vol 2.  the Fall of Gondolin.

Another of the 12 Houses of Gondolin, Swords of Hoeth as the Tower of Snow.
The champion 'Penlod the Tall' is half a head taller than the other rather tall figs, so is a accurate figure to be unit champion. I decided I didn't like the look of the shields I had put on the test figure after all, so these have no shields.

Lissanne's High Elf House of the Swallow/Bolt Throwers (200pts)

(Or the Early Bird misses the Mulligan..)

"Now the folk of the Swallow bore a fan of feathers on their helms, and they were arraed in white and dark blue and in purple and black and showed an arrowhead on their shields.  Their lord was Duilin, swiftest of all men to run and leap and surest of archers at a mark"

Lissanne's High Elven House of the Mole/White Lions

While everyone knows JRR Tolkien, few know this is the 100 year anniversary of the start of his writing the tales of Middle-earth, which he began in 1917 with the tale of the Fall of Gondolin.  Within that story, there are 12 houses of Elven warriors- this month, a unit based on the House of the Mole.
