There is nothing like a good elf bashing. Those pointy eared sneaky treehuggers.*g*

I’m sorry but my first army was dwarves, and in roleplay games I allways tend to take the short meaty guys…

How does buying the miniatures work versus what they represent in the game?

Do you just buy a box of four and then assign them whatever roles you like?

Exactly that, I tend to paint names, numbers or rank on the bottom of the base so me and my opponent know which is which.

This campaign i used my elves as snipers with the powder monkeys, so it was shot for one action then move and reload as the next action.

My friend who is a die hard Ork player is..*shock*.. going to run an Elf pirate crew! His reasoning is the figures look fantastic and suitably Errol Flynn for a pirate campaign.
