Weapon options High Elf Prince

The High Elf Prince warscroll has me confused. Specifically, the option of taking the "Phoenix Banner" has me confused: A High Elf Prince is a single model. Some Princes are armed with a magical Starblade, while others wield a larger Enchanted Polearm, such as a halberd or a spear. If ridi...

For those of you making the plunge (I'm still undecided), here a list of suggested bases for all Warhammer models, including High Elves. Contains the full list of round and oval bases that might be used for age of sigmar https://www.dropbox.com/s/wqsx9u96fihqbz0/Warhammer%20base%20size%20chart%20V1....

Rebasing for Age of Sigmar. Hypothetically...

I was wondering of anyone here is considering or has rebasing some things for Age of Sigmar usage. Not wondering about the why (or why not) but the how. Which base sizes would you use? 32mm or 25mm for infantry sized Elves? I distinctly got the impression that due to the scale creep IoB plastics for...

Re: Different Nagarythe Colour schemes?

If you can pick up a copy of the High Elf heraldry book, there's a nice section on Nagarythe in there. Short of it is, Nagarythe (post-sundering) does not use purple as a predominant colour anymore. Main colours are black, dark blues, dark reds & white contrasts. https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img...

That's a great looking unit. How long did it take you to complete in total? All the steps as you describe them sound fast... Rod Not very long in aggregate. I worked on bits & pieces beforehand but did most in two stretches during my holiday. All in all I think you could do it in a single weeke...

Basic outline of the technique followed: - Models were undercoated using Army Painter Plate Mail spray - Models were base-coated using GW base paints. I highly recommend the...

Dirge of the Phoenix

Hi all.

I've been working on army fluff for the last few years, in one form or another. The End Times books have rekindled my interest, and I thought I might share the bits I do commit to (digital) paper here so you might give me your feedback and thoughts.

Enjoy!

Re: Campaign of the end of times Rumors (only rumors)

Got the book this morning and it is impressive. Seriously, if you're in the fluff at all get it, it's more akin to a Forgeworld book than a Warhammer campaign one.

I see the juicy bits have already been spoiled above... like Teclis conspiring with his (great-)uncle :D

I actually like the idea of the elves forming one last great alliance. "I hate you so much but only I deserve the right to end you." I like this. After all, Elves are still Elves, and the major (not only) thing keeping the HE & DE apart of the centuries has been Malekith's (*spits*) i...
