Although I am short and hobbit-like portly, I chose the very tall and elegant Elven force for my base army. The special rules for the Elves have a distinct French flavor. Haughty Disdain, Longbows, Spangly Armor and did I mention Haughty Disdain? The base force also includes a Giant Eagle which can be very helpful. I really like the way the army plays on the table. Sort of like the German SS in a WWII rules set - small units of very good troops with a lot of firepower! Playing against Gordon's Orcs/Goblins/whatever is like trying to stop the Russian Horde on the Eastern Front! It is quite a bit of fun.
I haven't taken many photos of the army yet. And I don't have any of it in action, but here are a couple of photos of my heavy units - my Dragon riding hero and the Allied Griffon. The Griffon has been involved in a couple of games and has done pretty well. The Dragon hero has been too expensive to field in a game to date because our points list has been limited. Looking forward to getting that rectified soon!
The Elven Hero mounted on a dragon. The dragon is a nod to my sons, Marc Paul and Andrew as it is a figure they used to play with as kids. A bit of nostalgia that makes me smile! |
Another view. The title of the hero is "No, No, No!" with a hearty figure wave! |
The two units mounted on their flying bases. Rare earth magnets are so cool! |
This Elven force now has an enemy to fight as I have organized an Undead Army out yet more ready-painted figures in Gordon's toy bin! I love these painted figures because you only have to do ~10 figures and you are ready to play a game! Looking forward to the first clash between these armies.
