Fight With The Heroes Of The Latari Elves In RuneWars
July 12, 2017 by dracs
Fantasy Flight will soon be releasing the Infantry Command set for the Latari Elves of RuneWars, and have published a preview detailing the sort of heroes we can expect to find within.
The set includes four infantry command figures to lead these woodland elves, namely the Champion, the Starling musician, the Herald, and the Storm Sorceress.
Of these the Storm Sorceress would probably be my favourite. I mean Storm Sorceress, come on that is a cool name.
However, the Starling musician steals the show for me simply because I can't see her without picturing this.
Do you collect this faction of RuneWars? Which figure is your favourite?

Those are very nice.
I like GW’s take on wood elves better, at least the older ones.

I’m struggling to see the appeal of Runewars. The miniatures aren’t bad (which is a pleasant surprise) but because of the way the game works they’re too expensive. Here in the UK boxes generally weigh in at around the same price as GW “elite” units (between £20 and £25) but typically contain slightly less models (8 opposed to GW’s 10) and, IMO, lower quality models. In this specific case the command figures are included in the GW boxes so for a unit with a command squad, you’re looking at double the cost of a unit if GW models for a… Read more »
Of course cards and trays are part of the cost and if I’m not mistaken the armies of the core set are about half the size of a “full” game so this is not a mass battle game the size of Warhammer Fantasy.
It’s still a dear do isn’t it? Compare them kit for kit or compare them by size of army they’re in the Games Workshop prize zone only you get less miniatures and they’re not of the same quality. It’s one of my pet hates about FFG – I’m really into Imperial Assault but the miniatures are ridiculously expensive. You might pay between £8 and £18 for a model and you will get between 1 and 3 models for that. Generally speaking for £8 you get 1, for £12-£15 you will get 2 or 3 and for £15 upwards you will… Read more »
That’s true, I never said they are cheap just that the cards do factor in the price (although their price for FFG is probably next to nothing compared to the minis) and that Runewars armies are probably smaller then WHF ones.
But you are right the quality isn’t the best compared to other manufacteres and I’m not that big a fan of PVC.
Some PVC is very good and although it can be prone to bending it’s really easy to fix using hot and cold water. But I just find this a weird approach, it’s like Mantic quality miniatures but for GW prices with the difference made up in bits of paper/card. Speaking purely from my own point of view, if I am buying unpainted models that I have to paint, then I don’t want painting them to seem like a chore, I want it to a pleasant experience (which is my Mantic are so hit and miss for me). Imperial Assault kind… Read more »
