And now for something completely different...
When it comes to getting my gaming kicks, 40k has always been my main squeeze. I was always more into the desolate vision of a war torn future than the traditional fantasy world of Elves and Dwarves. At times I dipped into Epic, Space Hulk, Dark Future and Blood Bowl but always came back to the familiar arms of 40k... until a couple of months ago.
Myself, Gotrek and Praetor chat regularly about 40k and gaming, one day the conversation turned to Warhammer Fantasy. Both Praetor and Gotrek have played WFB and were familiar with the rule system and armies. I on the other hand, was not. So I started reading, and Praetor very kindly passed on a small collection of High Elves (many thanks again fella) and I'm now keen to try and put together a decent HE list.
Now I probably wouldn't have gone with HE if I'd set out to choose an army but the models I have are a great starting point, I've been getting some great advice from Gotrek on how HE work and what units work best and I'm really looking forward to playing them. I've decided to go with a fairly traditional (I think) HE army. Lots of archers and lots of spearman. Fast cavalry for precision strikes and for dissuading charges and heavy cavalry to @?#* things up. Support will come in the form of bolt throwers and HE wouldn't be HE without som good old fashioned sorcery! I haven't decided on much more than that. I want to start out with the bare minimum I need to build a balanced powerful army.
So all I need to now is fill out my army with key units, repaint them (the paint job was done by the previous owner and is awesome but I want to put my own stamp on them) and play some games
