go with the red. Red complements (and gives contrast to) your blue skin.
going withthe blue cloaks would leave you with little to no contrast, leading to an overall very dull and boring looking scheme.

Personally I use a Sabol army transport bag.
you purchase separate foam trays for it which you can customize to fit your models. (you pull out squares from the foam to form the mini-slots) Perfect for those unwieldy models with pointy bits all over.

I really cant suggest you to put your sorceress, who wants to stay out of combat, in your only ranked combat unit, that wants to get into combat. oh and as to your idea of dragon mage charging you? most likely he wont. it's a dragon MAGE. it's really not meant for fighting. (though it can do pretty ...

Choosing to go the magic route, I'd go something like this: Sorc, lvl 2, The guiding eye, Tome of Furion (to ensure she gets some longer range spells) 10 Crossbowmen with shields, champion and musician Sorc goes here. champion to accept and issue challenges to protect her (and the BS comes in handy ...

well. it sure seems like an odd case. I'd say they still have to overrun since it was technically in the turn that they charged. but honestly, I'm not sure everyone would play it that way. and i'm sure it doesn't come up often anyways.

Gamezone mini's tend to be a liiiiittle bit larger than GW models, but nothing noticeable unless you really look.

The metal only looks rough in the pictures, the surface texture has about the same quality as the GW metal models.

lovely would like to see them painted however (and those do look like 25mm bases to me unfortunately..)
Where are those wings from? (reason I ask is because a friend of mine is looking for a nice pair of feathered wings for a deamon prince conversion and those are lovely )

the spear on that last one really needs to be repositioned.. it looks like she tripped and is falling over
now if the spear was angled downwards as in a charging position... that'd help the model out enormously.

Great looking models, but they look more like some sort of dark angels than harpies. (not that that's a bad thing) a few points that could be done better: Harpies don't wield spears. some more claws would be better (and of all the spears to choose you took the clunky warrior ones.. would not have be...

They still look too... "warrior" to me.. not exactly executioner like.. and the hafts of their swords are too long even for 2 handed weapons. (and why you'd pass up on the GORGEOUS exec models is beyond my understanding, but to each his own.) Aaanyways.. you definitely need to tone down th...

since you'd immediately loose the rank if you loose a single dark rider (which is easy given a 4+ save) I'd rather run them as 2 units of 5. but if you do run them as a big unit, keep the shields. Fast cav can't have ranks, and so you HAVE TO have the shields to gain the rank bonus.

Loving it! the style of painting is wonderful and the lack of colours serves to bring the army together. However! Lack of colours aside, I really think you could benefit from some contrast. it does not need to be overly intrusive. for example you could put dead grass on the bases. it would bring a s...

Marvelous painting, really. The only things I can comment on not liking are: Bows. not very dark elfy... however, modifying these models to wear crossbows would most likely look silly/out of place. So I can understand why you left them as is. And then there's the tall grass. I'm not quite sure what ...

Exactly what part of this list could be considered as "friendly"? 4lvls of magic +DS cloak AND dagger. (with DE magic, one mage with dagger would suffice) Knights with +D3CR banner ASF BG Hydra. all in one list... if you brought this list to a "friendly" tournament around where i...

The magic in this list alone would send it right to nr 1-2 in the swedish composition scorings. add to that the killer assassin, the "mass" shooting, a dragon and a hydra (oh yes, a single one of those gives a negative scoring here...) you're likely on a score of 1 on your chart. the list ...

why would you have an always strikes first banner on a cavalry unit? they charge (hence they strike first) anytime they're in combat anyways. and on that same note, when they charge they have S6. making the crimson death redundant as well. the sorc with lifetaker seems out of place... but then again...

I just feel this has to be illegal in some way.............. I hate chariots... I think 1-2 is the maximum number in any army. If someone pulled this list on me i'd just kick him and refuse to fight until he learnt to make proper lists I'm sure it could work though.. people would have trouble with t...

well I havent cut out the back of any corsairs.. I have however put a flame (candle) to them and bent them to make em fit onto other legs.

with this I have made one running noble with GW and one noble on manticore.

pics will be coming up when i get them magnetised and stuff.

I think I would rather have seen them as a rare choice.. but then again, I use both hydras and reapers so then i'd never get to field them...

too many goodies for our special slots...

isn't there a limit of max 10 to any stat though? (which would mean 10 attacks instead of 16 in the example given)

or maybe I just misread something somewhere...

attacking first IS a charge bonus, so no you don't attack first.

Names are purely from imagination. I sat down for 5 minutes and randomly made some up Sorry, can't post a link to my brain... I have since revised the list a bit, switched some gear and made the Sorceress into a lordling instead (Magic seems overrated, but i'll add a sorceress later on. I edited the...

start with black over the entire eye. Paint the raised part of the eye (most models have this) white. add a black dot in the appropriate spot.

remember to use diluted paints (not too much though) and a very fine detail brush.

Lots of useful tips, none really matching my original Idea though. The idea is basically it's a young manticore that is being trained. as such it doesn't have that many decorations yet (piercings and such, and I hate those things anyways ) I also thought about a tail swap, but I kinda like the littl...

Thanks for the replies ^^ I kinda like and dislike the beard... mainly dislike it because a lions beard doesn't grow that long... but I like it cause it adds some detail to the model, so it stays. (I might decorate it further though if I can think of anything good to do so with, I never liked flesh ...
