Ever since TOW was announced, I've been collecting and painting a High Elf army. When quarantine started, I dove headfirst into the hobby, and it was a great way to keep myself busy while stuck in an apartment. I built around 8th edition, and loved playing the edition a ton. I loved the big swings, I loved the big pile dice rolls and how dynamic it was. I always wanted a huge army and I wanted to put it all on the table at some point. The biggest I got to play was 3,000 points and it was a blast, but I've yet to meet an opponent that can field ~7,000 points against my High Elves. Now that a lot of the community is moving onto The Old World, I've acquired a large amount of base adapters so that I can keep my army 8th edition sized. For the first time I've put the army out on the table to see how much the footprint has changed. This comes up to about 5,500 points before upgrades and magic items except for mundane gear like shield options. I don't know if it's going to fit back in the display case now, and I would like to paint and flock the base adapters and trays so there's more visual cohesion with the units. Anyway, here are some pictures! Sorry for the bad quality, I don't have the best lighting and my phone camera is ancient by today's modern standards. ![](https://i.imgur.com/kOPi0Tg.jpeg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/myjEyVy.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/yYWqVEQ.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/av63BhS.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/vWDH4ul.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/y1ZKqBi.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/ne2xeU9.jpg) ![](https://i.imgur.com/uR635gH.jpg)

Good work. They look great. High Elves are next in my queue after my current Tomb Kings project.

Good work. They look great. High Elves are next in my queue after my current Tomb Kings project. Your Tomb Kings are looking absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to see what you do with High Elves. Any particular theme/region you think you'll be sticking to, or have you not thought that far ahead?

Any particular theme/region you think you'll be sticking to, or have you not thought that far ahead? I don't really theme my armies. My goal is usually just to have every choice in the army list painted and available for play. Not that I've ever fully achieved that with any faction. For preparing your movement trays, I use Rust-Oleum camouflage spray paint. Deep forest green for grassland and khaki or earth brown for dessert. It covers much better than painting movement trays with a brush. But it isn't shiny like regular spray paint.
