Mini Painting!
GarandMarine:
In other news I just painted up a giant spaceship thingie for I think Firestorm Armada. I give 0 fucks and I'm pretending it's an Honorverse heavy cruiser.
Grognard:
someone actually makes Honorverse miniatures...

Argh, I am tormented right now. I want to start assembling and painting my elf force for Warhammer Fantasy. I just don't know if I want to make them High or Dark elves. So far I have two sets of the starter box high elves. So that's two heros on griffons and two male mages. Neither of which I can really use for dark elves without some major bending or lore. 20 sea guard, which I could use as Dark Spears, if I got rid of their bows and maybe did something with the embossed sea dragon logo on their shield. And 20 Swordmasters which I could use as Executioners. Then there are 10 mounted reavers with bow and spear. Plus I have 10 Mantic elf scouts which I could use either way. And a box of Dark Elf warriors that could be assembled with sword, spear or repeating crossbows.
Other figures laying around that I have are a bunch of Mage Knight... 22 I could use as Witch Elves, 6 women with sword and shield that look dark elfish. A couple of sorceress dressed like dark elves, and a few more dressed more like wood elves, and a part squad of archers with bows.
I really would like a Dark Elf army, but so much of what I have really works better for High Elves. With the whole bow instead of crossbow thing. And the mantic line of elves work better as high elves. They have a dark elf line, but it's much smaller and more expensive... I almost have enough right now to make a 2500 point High elf army. I am kind of thinking to make them first, then start working on Dark Elves later, when I can sink more money into it... Argh, I just keep going back and forth, and I don't want to start assembling and painting before I make a decision.
GarandMarine:
Go High, then you start your DE when you can throw more cash at it. Mantic's DE line is fantastic and a money saver compared to workshop.
Neko_Ali:
Unfortunately Mantic really isn't the answer for Dark Elves... They only have a few items, and it's just metal parts added onto their existing elf line. Coming in at $25 for 10 instead of $35 for 10. And only for spearmen, crossbow men and the war machine. Some of their elf line is useful for DE though, as is. So there's that.
There are some other companies that make good models for DE as well, like Raging Heroes and Avatars of War. But they aren't any cheaper than GW's models. But they are still good for model variety and gorgeous sculpts.
