I now watched the video - great points, going to check out some of his books and give one a spin.

Will look forward to viewing the video later - interesting discussion. To your initial post, I thought Lhunara in Malus was a well handled character. The female shade character too, even. As you say, all in all, Dark Elves are one of the better races in terms of male/female balance - though it clear...

From your note, it sounds like a pure Dark Elf set up. Just in case you mean it more generally, accessing the Alarielle rules from the ET Khaine book, as part of a ET list, might be of value. If using pure Dark Elves, and want to introduce some randomness of your own into proceedings, you might look...

Love the consistent tone set - so punchy that blue against the dark shades and nicely understated bases. So cool seeing production on this scale.

Thanks for the warning! Well - we've agreed for 3,000 points. I'll be using the ET Tyrion list, he'll be using 6th Ed Legion of Chaos. We'll use 8th Ed rules, converting/agreeing "obvious" special rule parallels once he submits a list on the day. It'll certainly be the end of March before ...

@flatworldsedge: What a shame! Maybe you can try to act as a reserve, though. If someone ends up without a partner he can contact you as a last resort. You will have no time most probably but who knows, it might work out somehow. Thanks! Appreciated the note - and I'm kind of gutted not to be a big...

Thanks so much for the votes in favour of micro-updates! It's great to know they help others too! Sorry for the delayed response in a crazy week of work. I'm home just two days in the next two weeks, so progress isn't about to speed up, so here's a quick overview of developments... First - a somewha...

Thanks Marchosias for the detailed thoughts - and you're pretty much bang on why I've never considered this before! It does indeed push things a little too much towards the coin toss; generally leaving you either exultant that the point-sink lives (and your opponent depressed by the inevitability wi...

It's very strange to my mind - they were very certain that these would be "in store only exclusive items". That would be kind of cool, but, of course, if it's worth travelling into London for at a cost of £10 travel minimum, easily £25-50 for most of South East England, well it's probably ...

Q: "How come it's taking you so damn long to paint 12 Shades?" A: That's a damn good question. Working 10-12 hours days and constant travel has something to do with it! Holding back the updates on the Shades until I can show something approaching a step change in progress. Since last photo...

@TD - Hmmm... I'm not sure - the 8 Oz version seems to include a free miracle wand... Doesn't feel like a GW product. I'd expect to see miracle wands sold separately at £8.30 each. @Amboadine - Yes! I kind of like the idea, yet I do wonder how it plays out in today's world. It feels like it could ju...

Dropped into the GW Oxford Street (London) yesterday and they said they were closing, moving to T*ttenham Court Road to a premises twice the size where they would have more gaming tables and - interestingly - exclusive products not available online or in other stores. Opening 11-12th April - tell th...

Sounds fantastic - very keen to be involved! EDIT - So having jumped in with both feet I spent an evening comparing diaries with my wife... My weekends are spoken for through to June, working 8-21:00 most days! I'd love to be part, it's such an awesome idea, and yet I'd just be the biggest scheduli...

Thanks Thraundil - that is in fact a far superior alternative - nice work. Lol.

Thanks - good points. Think we'll give it a whirl then. As you say, there's a neat excuse to wave around if my illustrious two game winning streak goes off the rails.

He doesn't own the books and is averse to spending money. (Which I kind of sympathise with!).

From a noobs point of view im finding your discussion very interresting. I am wondering what a tipical list looks like from the two of you, and what kind of general tactic u employ +1 Really enjoying it. The right to an opinion, and to argue a point, is what separates us from beasts and Space Marin...

Hey all - hope you're having an awesome end to the week! So my regular opponent, after a couple of sound beatings using just Beastmen has said he'd like to bring a full Warrior/Daemon/Beast list for our next battle. He has the old "Hordes of Chaos" plus "Beasts of Chaos" army boo...

The floating Loremaster is awesome - the rocks work superbly with his pose, and return the favour by adding a sense of movement that wasn't there before.

Just in case she's still left after you've spoken with the gents ahead of me, give me a shout! Sure Iverasmussen or Searinox will give her a good home though!

Hi Marchosias, just a small question. How do you manage to display your shades in loose formation with battle chronicer. I fail to do it ! Lol +1 I can get everything to skirmish, or nothing - but not a mix. RE: The recent post, two medusas just sounds mad in writing. I've still trying to figure ou...

Super painting - as everyone else has said, the flesh on the sorceress is wonderfully well done. Really interesting to hear how you use the glazes. I love the little gold corner of her cloak too - lovely detailing. Nice work on the striped Cold One too - keeping the colours distinct through shading ...

Super work - love the mirror, thanks for explaining how it was done. The Manticore is awesome - love the use of the chariot sword, which always had that epic feel that suggests it should be in the hands of someone mightier than charioteer #2. Thoroughly applaud the drowned H*gh Elf too, whatever the...

I guess so, but in many cases that'd mean diverting them from higher value targets like high armour cavalry or monsters that the witches and spears might struggle with. Maybe the black guard work against those, I but the cavalry might not choose that battle with you! Play test a bit and see what sui...

Hey Vallers - welcome! There's a recent thread on how to defeat Skaven that you might want to check out as a starting point; http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=76359&hilit=skaven
