Thoughts on Warhammer Armies

So for Christmas, my lovely girlfriend got me a gift certificate to Grandiosity, my FLGS (Friendly Local Gaming Store, for all of you as bad with acronyms as I usually am =P), which I promptly used to purchase the Battle for Skull Pass Warhammer boxed starter set. Since then, I've assembled the models and played a few skirmishes between Dwarves and Gobbos, and found it to be quite enjoyable.So now I've come to a impasse -- I don't wanna play Greenskins or Dwarves!

So, for all the people that may eventually read this blog, I shall lay out my plan. Grandiosity is starting up a Warhammer Fantasy Campaign this month, and so I plan to assemble a Wood Elf army before then. Issue:

It ain't cheap.

 Regardless, the starting size for the Warhammer Fantasy campaign is 1000 Points, which I can do with a Wood Elf Battalion and a Spellslinger, so that's the plan. Wood Elves have an earthy feel, so I'm thinking mostly muted colors, but if anyone reading this has a suggestion, please put it in a comment! If I get enough responses, maybe I'll set up a poll for the final army colors.


For reference, Here's the link to the Wood Elf Main Page

And here's Grandiosity's website: Warweb. This is a great site in terms of the sheer amount of content available. There are some things that can ONLY be found here, as well as good prices on a lot of stuff from other companies. They've got Reaper, Games Workshop, and a ton of stuff from "lesser-known" companies, as well as supplies ranging from paints and brushes to basing kits. If you're ever in need of something, check these guys out, they'll make sure you get what you need. Until next time, happy gaming!
