I've used the last couple of Riotvilles to motivate me to paint up new armies (Dwarves, Orcs & Goblins). I was planning on doing the same again and picking either Lizardmen or Ogres - but then I remembered my Dark Elves. My first army, I'd neglected them too long - both with painting and playing, and it really is time I gave them the love they deserve.
So my plan is to probably play Dark Elves at the next Riotville (assuming we're allowed out our home by then) and use that to ensure I get a load of Druchii painted up. I have one sensible-ish list (my Riotville lists are never truly sensible; they focus more on cool models/fun games than being competitive) and one that is completely mad.
Sensible-ish list:
The BSB goes in the Corsairs, the Sorceress in the Dark Riders. The Sisters of Slaughter accompany the Bloodwrack Shrine forming a 5 x 5 unit. It's got some fun units in, but is worryingly short of bodies. The list is tight on points (1,797 total) which prevented me from swapping the Shades out for a larger unit of Darkshards, giving the Sorceress a ward save, or increasing the Sisters unit.
Crazy list:
Yes, this is Monster Madness, and bang on the nose of 1,800 points. It'd be fun to paint at least.
Other list I haven't written yet:
I will probably paint to the first list, but the other two are very tempting.
