Wood Elf War Dancers

There are a number of warhammer armies that I have been collecting since Warhammer began really. Having moved house this was an opportunity to get some of them out of the attic and view them in more detail.

The armies in my collection are

Wood Elves
High Elves
Dark Elves

Spotting a theme!

Empire
Chaos Warriors
Skaven
Dogs of War

With significant collections of dwarves and orcs/gobbos.

Plus lots of models I got just because I liked them.

In terms of 40k

Dark Angels (Main collection)
Eldar
Imperial Guard
Chaos Marines

I'll try and lay some out so I get more of them up, but this post is just about one unit. Wardancers

I have only done half of them here, as I need to get the photography set up with a tripod for indoor work.

Anyway, they follow the basic theme for my Wood Elf army, quite a bright green for most of the units with some being a bit more russet.

Half my Wood Elf Wardancer Band

Colour scheme is a lighter flesh, with bright green and brown. Metals are a mixture of  copper and iron.


Wardancer Leader, I split his two swords and moved the metal arms as he is quite leady and much more maleable than white metal.

Minimal amounts of chainmail

Big hair, Tpau?

Mask for that early Harlequin look.

I still have to finish them off, with a bit of base work and touch ups, but not far off.

I think it might be an introduction to some of their dark cousins next time.

Dark Elves Spearmen and Repeater Crossbows

Some shots of my Dark Elf force, this army has been reasonably successful, and this is with it using a Black Dragon as a mount for the Dark Elf General. Depsite putting mega pts into this arrangement it seems to work. The army colours use an antique gold for the helments and extra metal fittings with a purple for cloth. Also have leather details in a creamy leather for that flayed looked. The Dark Elves Spearmen unit uses a mix of figures, there are some older metal figures in there for most of the spearmen, the champion and the musician, whilst there are also a few of the newer plastic figures. I also used a mix of shield designs, some hand painted and some with plastic skulls, but all using the skull motif. The Repeater Crossbow Dark Elves also use a mix of metal and plastic figures, tied together with the same colour scheme. The unit has no standard but does have a musician.

Slannesh Chaos Marauder Minis

Old Citadel Barbarians or Norsemen from around 1986 which I now use in my Slannesh Chaos army as Chaos Marauders. This was before they got rid of the combined Chaos force with the release of Chaos Daemons. Talk about a backward step.
