IntroductionHigh elves have always been my first love. I got into the hobby around 2004 and my interest level has fluctuated in that time… after a short break from the hobby I came back to it in 2010 and rebuilt my high elves with a load of new box sets and stripped back the old models where they were salvageable.
I decided when I got back into it to do my High Elves with NMM and went for a theme that with hindsight was a little too busy, I then couldn’t raise enough motivation to actually finish any of it!! So at the end of 2012 I bought a WoC army instead. By about the middle of last year I had enough units to (theoretically) field about 5,000 points fully painted

So now it’s time to go back to the high elves. It will be a Caledor theme, with a sub theme of dead dark elves appearing as unit fillers where appropriate. Normal Metallics will be used rather than NMM, the main colours will be Red and Cream but Blue will also be used for all Gems and also for tertiary cloths and plumes. Red will be used for ALL Dragons, Dragon Armour and Dragon Iconography.
I’ll start with an index listing all the models I have and/or intend for this army.
IndexKeyRed = FinishedBlue = Work In Progress (minimum basecoated)Green = Considering buyingBlack = bought, not yet WIPLords/Heros3 Dragons – I’m doing 1 climbing up the rock (while killing a load of Dark Elves), 1 flying towards the rock (Asterion Style) and
1 Forgeworld Carmine Dragon - All assembled, but I keep adding finishing touches to the model before I get round to spraying
1 Mounted BSB holding the banner out of the dragon box built
1 Griffon (Being done in Chracian colours for display only) half painted (kinda lost interest, it lacks dragons!!)
1 Prince on Lion (being done in Chracian colours for display only) Half painted (kinda lost interest, it lacks dragons!!)Several mages on foot -
1 finished2 Mages on Horseback -
1 base coated Several Nobles on foot -
1 finishedHopefully somehow I’ll be able to put together at least one mounted Prince
Core2 x 5 IoB Ellyrion Reavers - Nearly finished - so many bloody details!!58 archers stripped back, but they need a good clean before painting
2 x 28 Spearmen - FinishedI just went nuts and bought 70 more (60 more and
a couple of fillers), this means I'll be able to field 3 units of 7x6. They are now mostly assembled, this is going to be a mammoth paint
12 Silverhelms – Just doing finishing touches, soooooooo many gems!! I should really come back and actually finish thisSpecial21 IoB Swordmasters - Finished18 Dragon Princes Built – The old, much better looking ones including a champion from the 1993 models for a bit of variation
24 Dragon Guard (Black Guard Models, Phoenix Guard Substitute), 24 includes unit filler - all Finished30 White Lions (done with Corsair Models) - ConsideringShadow Warriors - All FinishedRare1 Phoenix
4 RBT (2 Old Metal ones and 2 plastic ones which are Built) - All done5 Terradons (great eagles) - DoneCurrent Army Shot
