Dread Elves of Maphria Island

We are developing Dark Elves based on the slaving Sultanate of Zanzibar and colonial safari.

Matthew Klaas de Witte accepted a commission from me to design a Dread Elf from Maphria, with a leopard skin and an enslaved Pygmy Halfling. Gut feeling told me he was the right man to pioneer this field. Be welcome to leave a comment for him under the artwork on Deviantart. Master de Witte has a deft hand at playing with historical styles in fantasy artwork, as can be seen in his gallery!



Please share ideas of your own for this exotic colony faction!

Thanks for sharing.

Now a Homebrew Army book has been made to reflect the Safari Dread Elves in Taphria.
Dread Traffickers of Maphria Island

Concept:
Far from the classic “urban” Dark Elves, this AB focuses on the more agile troops found in an overseas outpost.
- They enhance the DE freedom spirit to new heights, they know no moral bound and care not about
continental homeland politics;
- The Corsair basis is enhanced, the maritime link is stronger than ever; Corsairs have established overseas
their own Cult, a bit perverted compared to the other ones, and have created a society run like a Mafia;
- Beastmasters have found there a paradise of new cute animals to kill or coerce; care was given to give a role
to most GW's Idoneth Deepkin models; animal names from real African folklore.
- An association with half-snakes Nagas is now fully developed, with an access to monstrous infantry units,
the Nagas under the command of a special Medusa character. Here as well, maritime/riverine possibilities
are enhanced.
