[WM] Dark Elf army

The hydra has always tempted me to start dark elf
Well done as always

Thanks Guthwine, thanks jchaos   I shouldn't really be painting figures that aren't in my 2k list (the hydra is in my 3k list) but i got bored painting spearmen and cold one knights. Fancied a chage  
I'm also painting a manticore next

I'm same as you fracas, i love the hydra model. I'm unsure how good it'll be in the game.

I was thinking of tactics as i painted the hydra. My plan is to try and avoid cavalry and use it against infantry. The infantry will only get one stand v's my Hydra, and suffer from terror. I think i'm right in saying that even with support the hydra should just win. (possibly with the exception of tough infantry like chaos warriors)

So i could line the hydra up inbetween two brigades, protecting him from any cavalry units. Then charge him out at enemy infantry

It doesnt matter if its good, the only thing that matters is that shes cool.

Now the Hydra on my desk is looking at me, making me guilty...

Very nice model Calmacil

[calmacil]

Thanks Geep.

I finished my manticore last night. I decided i like the round bases for characters, so i've done the same for him.

[BlackEd]

Looks great!  I love the hydra!  That manitcore looks like a terror also!

[calmacil]

Thanks BlackEd 



Finished my 2nd unit of spearmen

[calmacil]

Two more units finished

[azrael71]

Dude, bolt throwers don't count as units

[fracas]

very well done
bolt thrower included

[calmacil]

Thanks fracas  

Dude, bolt throwers don't count as units

Well, the spearmen unit takes me the longest to paint..... so 1 difficult unit + an easy unit averages out to two moderate units.   Come on ref surely that counts  

[Geep]

I like your shield designs... I may have to steal them (at some point in the far distant future of my painting)

[calmacil]

Thought i might use another spellcaster in my dark elf army. I've got another one in the same pose as before, but i'm planning to use her for the cauldron of blood figure. So i made a simple conversion for this one;

[jchaos79]

That conversion is pretty cool !

so great
