Good Luck with the project, nice little video you talked well and presented your minis clearly. It's only if i finish my Main Army but High Elves are going to be next for sure. I think a good colour scheme will help tie them together but right now i think there's a little too many mixed aesthetics, the Bolt Thrower and Lumineth Characters are fine and the Lumineth Archers would make great Shadow Warriors or Sisters of Avelorn (i think that's the name, they are a top pick btw) but are maybe a bit fancy to be militia archers, the Seaguard would have you covered there anyways. However i think the Lion renders you've chosen are a step too far, imo, i would strongly suggest you look for ones a bit closer to the IP in looks (the Lion animals though are awesome, keep those for sure). Quick search Holo Miniatures 'highborn elves' have some decent White Lions, 'Silvermoor elves' are nice and a guy called elfhead3d does awesome IP-fitting elves but no Lions yet that i could see sadly 😞.
@thedicelab5 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! I grabbed a white lion hero from Holo miniatures and I think he looks pretty neat. I’d definitely be open to getting more of there elves. I’m hoping the sisters of avelorn will come back in stock through gw as I really like the official sculpts and want to grab a box. I think for now I’m rolling with the white lion 3D prints I have. Though, it’s primarily due to a lack of hobby budget for this project. My big purchases next are going to be some kind of dragon so I can run a dragon mage at 2k points. Hopefully the official kit also comes back in stock on gw. I may try to use a 3D print dragon for now but it’s tough to gauge how well they will fit on the dragon base size. Next episode I will put a breakdown of the money I’ve spent so far on this army and I think people will be surprised at how inexpensive it’s been so far since I’ve been cobbling it together somewhat thriftily.

There was this beautiful missed play: 5D6 black dart on the warrior in front of galadriel from Khamul, heroic combat with Khamul into galadriel and because he can go to F6 with his ability he will probably win. That would have been pretty funny. Also, why did the elves not just run backwards? They might have stopped the WK from getting through. Great battle rep though, love to see 2 fell beasts!
@thedicelab6 ай бұрын
WK charged into a lone galadhrim warrior with a heroic combat and used his move after killing him to fly nearly off the board edge. Elves at speed 6 just didn’t have enough move to stop him since he is so fast on the fell beast. Lots of things I’d have tried differently if I got to try the game from the start again. I think I learn a few new things each game. Agreed though the two fell beasts looks awesome on the board.
