Red Book of the Elf King
Parcel Arrived Today
My order for more Elf king stuff arrived today (Along with my Symbaroum Monster Codex Kickstarter pledge) so have been a bit distracted, I have now assembled all the miniatures I ordered (5 Thanet and the Elf King) I also got the rulebook and a set of Glamour cards, I I’ll add the dice,tokens etc on my next order.
Assembly was very straight forward and the models did not need much cleaning up, the fit of the two additional bits of cloak on the Elf King left some fairly large gaps, but on the plus side Lucid Eye have provided nice secure bonds with a good amount of contact. The green stuffing of these cracks was not to bad and easy to do.
A slightly better picture of where Vachel is after last night. Will do a couple of hours now before bed and try to finish of the painting. I will take models outside in daylight to photograph when finished, will also experiment using my phone instead of this tablet see if I can get clearer pictures.I have read introductory story to rulebook and skimmed rules, the story is great and really gives you a good sense of the character for each of the Thanes, none of whom are particularly sympathetic although remaining appealing. The story makes me want to discover more about this world and should be released as a PDF, as I am sure it would encourage people to pick up this game.
The production value is very good and the layout is also very well done.
I will review the rules and provide you with my expectations prior to playing the game, and once figures painted I will review the actual game play and how it compares with my expectations.
