So I decided to turn this thread into a POLG. In about 3-5 days I will be getting an another unite of darkshards and a bolt thrower. I will post those when they are done. Also maybe fingers crossed in a week or 2 I might be able to order 2 units of witch elves. And by then I should have the hair mor...

Thanks for the answers. I talked to my gaming group about it and they said no,because they did not want to fight the base rules.

Here is some more close ups. All the pictures were taken on my phone so sorry if the quality is a little low.

Heres some more pictures.

Heres a close up on the FC and a model.

So I finally got my darkshard unit done and I think they came out pretty good.

So one of my many conversion ideas is to convert a dread lord onto a lizard men carnosaur. And that would be he's cold one mount. But the carnosaur's base is much bigger than a normal cold one's base. My question is it ok to make a models base different.

Thanks for all the advice. I am gonna build a few list around some of your guys ideas and do a lot of testing. After that I might post the final list I came up with.

Looking good thus far indeed. As for the blonde hair, paint your figures to match your vision It's not like all the black haired elves were evil at heart and joined the bad side during the sundering and all the blonde ones stayed behind in Malibu listening to the beach boys and surfing Welcome to t...

So I painted up the standard bearer. Its the first time I ever free painted something on a cloth like that but I think it came out ok. I don't know how you guys free from paint. But what I did was drew the big version of the scythe then did an outline of the flag. After that I drew a much smaller ve...

That looks great. What did you use for the basing.

As i said I think I fixed the lighting problem. Painted up 4 more DarkShard bodes I think they came out great. Also if any one has any good ideas for the cross bow plz share, right now I don't have any ideas for the cross bows.

So with my new codex I can now make a list and proxy small games now. The list I want to make is more of a learning list so I can wrap my head around the rules and army. I made the list around the battle force pack and stuff I heard was good. 750pts Hero Master-80pts great weapon,sea dragon cloak Co...

Thanks for all the support. Dyvim tvar I agree it does look a bit odd with the blonde hair. I will keep the hair as it is for now, i like the pop it adds to the model but if i find an idea for the hair i like i will use that.

So a few days ago I got my Darkshards in the mail with with the codex and a lot of paint. I am using the paint theme from the paint recipe book. Thanks a bunch xFallenx for making the guide it was easy to under stand and looks great. I painted up one in a few hours right after I got home form school...

Depends on the scenario and your opponent. Too general of a question to have one answer. If you gave us some more specific hypothetical situations it would be easier. Standard deployment and victory condition-victory points.Table has a few hills and a couple of forest on the table.Opponent has a ho...

Vietnow and Red, that makes since.Now to help the OP when deploying your units do you want them spread out or clustered.

Ok thanks, I already ordered a box of Darkshards. Would I still make the 20 darkshards and have 30 or what else should I make them into.

Sorry its little confusing so you are say its just better to buy the individual models.

So after looking at other people's conversion I think I will give it a go. My first try will be Dreadlord on a dark pegasus. My idea is to get a Eltharion on Stormwing and get some Black Ark Corsairs. Take the body form the Corsairs and use that and keep the legs already on the original model and th...

Sorry if these questions have already been answered a million times but I am still gonna ask it anyway.So is the Dark Elf Warhost of Naggaroth worth picking up? Then what are the best units to pick up first and to build a sold list at around 750-1000 pts.

So I am new to Dark elves to. Form reading about stacking the deck an making sure you have the right match up. Would a normal DE game look like this? Turn 1-Move your troops a little into position. Kill enemy "stuff" that's in the way aka skirmishers. turn 2-Move your troops to make sure t...

Thanks,I don't think they will care to much. To be honest I have never done a conversion before . So I am worried I will miss up and it will look bad.

Hello,So I decided to start fantasy after my friends have been into it after a few years. Looked at all the armies and thought Dark elves looked the coolest and decided to play them.

So I am sorry if this has been asked. But as a new Dark elves player I noticed that you have to convert a lot of our lords and Heroes. As a person who is in school and does not have a lot of time on their hands making conversions takes a lot of time to do. So I was wondering is using some of the Hig...
