PAINTING: Bigred’s Dark Elves Grow

Hi all,

Here’s a little followup post regarding that Dark Elf army i’ve been working up for my initial foray into Fantasy. Since the last time we chatted, I’ve fulfilled my promise of not buying any more fantasy minis until every single one I bought with my initial purchase got painted up. So here they are. I’ve got the army color theme established and just need to really go into “factory production mode” So far we have:

10 Cold One Knights
10 Shades
1 Lokhir Fellheart

I’m off to pick up a Dark Elf Batallion box which will get me:

20 Corsairs
5 Cold Ones
16 Warriors w/ crossbows
12 Warriors w/spears & shields

~I’ve been playing a few games and am still quite shaky but starting to get my Fantasy “sea legs”. I know a bunch of you guys play both systems, so what is you advice for my next set of purchases to build upon this core to get a lean and mean 2250 pt army? Note than I am a big fan of the Cold One Knights models, and I really like the Repeater Bolt Throwers.
