Re: The Battle of Finuval Plain at 25,000pts battle

Wow, looks stunning, really :), great job.

A bit of a fluffminded question though, were there dragons on the high elf side? Back when I was more up to date with the warhammer lore there weren't (and that's the reason why asarnil was banished), yet, this might have been changed in the newer editions.

Re: Hail Ulthuan! The Storm of Chaos returns in 2014!

=D> Great, ah, the defence of brass keep, the slaughter at bohensfels, the ride of da demolisher on the causeways of middenheim.
Yet, I wasn't to pleased with the retconning of the storm of chaos either.

This seems great though, ;)

Re: Core, Citizen Levy

Interesting, this would be a great way to add a more fluffy feeling to the army and open up a great deal of options.

I only would remove the option of barding, as I don't think it's really that common and makes them too much like silver helms...

Re: "a closed country"

Grom got through because of some storm I think, it drove his fleet through the mists or something (as he intended to attack Marienburg if I recall correctly). Didn't he lose half his army in the process? I think that a large majority of the high elves, having no direct way to identify the humans bef...

Re: The Phoenix Kings Balloon Debate - Aenarion

This debate should be about Aenarion's actions and what impact these actions had on Elven society as a whole. Not only society, the entire elven race. And as to my closing point, without him, there would be no elven race anymore, there would have been no phoenix king. For sure, others also played a...

Was the old world in itself not doomed since the collaps of the polar gates and the departure of the old ones?

Re: Highelves not being "good"

Of course, I agree completely. There was nothing pinpointing the obelisk/runestone event to a certain timeframe. The story never really pinpointed the high elves at all, but then, in a small village in Nordland, it's hard to expect the humans to have witnessed an elf. It mentioned just a couple of s...

Re: Highelves not being "good"

But that would assume a sort of equality between elves and men that simply does not exist. It's not that humans can understand but don't have the knowledge, it's that with even great trouble on the part of the elves, they would only be able to understand fragments and not quite as intended. Same wit...

Re: Highelves not being "good"

Agreed, it is said that what sets men apart from animals is their ability to make abstractions, think in conditionals etc. I would imagine elves to be the next step on the ladder, seeing connections humans simply fail to understand. (as with the runestone underneath a village) And if you happen to h...
