Hey all. WFB 5th was my first wargame. Started with this hilarious opening purchase Tyrion, Teclis, Imrik, Alarielle, Tiranoc Chariot (Thank god I found a cheap 4th edition starter lot afterwards) Played throughout 5th, 6th and the beginnings of 7th before falling out. A local group wanting to start up 8th has brought me back and this forum has been an amazing help getting up to speed. So since October I've been building up my Warriors army:     And my most recent unit. The first of Archaon's Swords of Chaos (Counts As Skullcrushers)  And the army so far:  |

Nice army and welcome! Whats your plan forward with it? Thanks. Your efforts in the tactics thread are much appreciated. Next up is another Dread Maw. Then I have a Giant and 3 more Swords of Chaos (Skullcrushers) Some Metal Minotaurs I plan on using as Great Weapon Ogres. Egrimm Van Horstman is in the Pile. He kind of pales in comparison to my existing dragon but maybe his ego can handle being a Chimera? Have lots of Chaos Knights to work with so probably a few more Daemonic Mount characters and a small character bodyguard. I have two of the old Boob Snake Champions I'd love to find an STL file for an updated larger Aekold as I have a fun idea for using him and some Dryad based conversions as Throgg and Trolls playing into his life is change background. Anyway that was a rambling way of saying I have a giant pile of Chaos to work through. |

Great army so far! The grey/metal/red scheme works well, those not-Skullcrushers are nothing short of amazing!
Not a huge fan of this dragon model, using the Archaon on foot on him is a good idea though. Seeing that Warcry model in the warriors: what other "current" models do you plan to use? I ask because I have a huge collection of WoC myself, and loving some (not all...) of the AoS sculpts I am trying to incorporate what I can into proper WHF ranks. Those Warriors on foot are almost impossible to rank, I use some as heroes. No idea what to do with the new Chaos Knights - they do not fit on cavalry bases at all! So many good things in the modern ranges though, especially for god-specific units...

The upcoming Slaanesh Cavalry looks far superior to the previous ones imo but probably impossible to rank up on the 25x50s. The Iron Golems might see use as Forsaken. Definitely one element of Kings of War I envy. Lots of modeling freedom. |

Yeah, not all new models work for WHF. The new Slaanesh stuff is sweet indeed - depending on the steeds size I could see it as Daemonic Mount. My issue with that option: I already have plenty of those!
Concerning KoW: aye, in terms of modeling freedom the system is awesome. I am not at all interested in the rules or their verse though, so no chance for me.

Really good looking army Eldarain and can’t wait to see further parts of the army painted up.

Thank you both! sedge It really is a great model. I'm super glad I added them to the pile of opportunity back before they axed them. Really appreciate your work on the Dark Elves Tactics thread. That's going to be my next project after I've built out my options on this one. |

Very cool army. The dragon mount is a great idea and the dread maw is exceptional. I like the chaos stargate too (any portal is a stargate to me - just love that show). All kinds of good going on and looking forward to seeing more.

Really characterful army. The BSB with the enormous banner is my favourite!
