Warhammer Old World: High Elves vs Dwarves

Last Wednesday, Cliff and I reconvened at Leighton Buzzard Wargames Club to have another bash at Warhammer: Old World. This time, I was using my High Elves/Melnibonians. This is my old army of choice, which hasn't seen daylight since 1999/2000, and is made up of units that date back to the 80s (apart from The Shadow Warriors, which are 1990s vintage) and are the type of High Elves that give Dark Eles a bad name. I had lots of option sto choose from (especially as I found I had waaaaaay more foot and cavalry than I remembered, so I went with 15 x archers, 9 x Shadow Warriors, 20 x Swordmasters of Hoeth, 9 x Silver Helms, 10 x reavers, an eagle, an eagle claw bolt thrower, Prince (Elric) Army standard bearer on horseback (with Silver Helms) and Riotla Snow (with Shadow Warriors) and a lvl 2 mage, all with lots of magical equipment. It was a lot of shooty power, just to try it out I guess. I was up against Cliff's dwarfs, unchanged apart from he dropped the miners, and took a war...

Elwing's Elven cavalry and Riotla Snow - Really old High Elves

  1985 High Elf cavalry - Regiment of Renown - Elwing's Elven cavalry RR10 I bought four off my friend Luke in the 90s, and my painting was never as good as his, even now. Heavy horse, big plumes, not pointy heads. The whole unit (until I get the extra figures of the musician and champion to finish it all off) Found 6 extras, including Elwing himself for not ebay prices. Back view Riotla Snow - based on the painted one by Phil Lewis Yet, I cannot get her into focus at all.
