KoW Elves are coming (finally)

All the figures for the Elves are Mantic Games.  I built most of them at the time and then they’ve ‘rested’ in a draw for many years.  I have now put them on temporary bases and they are undercoated in grey.

Mantic figures have limited flexibility in positioning etc. but notwithstanding here is a picture of the army so far.

In addition to the standard Elves, Mantic originally produced some metal accessories to make “Drow” with heads, different spears and crossbows.  I bought some of these at the time, and with the new range of Twilight Kin, I have added these to the Elven army as specialized troops.

Add in a troop of Cavalry and a couple of Bolt throwers and this is about the entire army. I also have four unopened boxes of Spearmen which are available is necessary to build out the forces.

Finally, I have a couple of individual figures that could represent a Hero / Prince and Standard Bearer (rather then those I will include on the bases) but NO large infantry or creatures.  Instead I will make a base of Battlecats, although exactly how this will fit into the overall KoW force lists I’m to yet sure =as I want then to be managed by a “Beastmaster”.  I’ll think on this.

So the available figures for the army right now are:

I will be Multi-Basing and aim to have close to Mantic’s Minimum figure count of 15-16 figures per Regiment.

Exception will be troops of Gladestalkers, which will probably be 6 to a base, same with Crossbowmen.

So as it stands, there should be the following Unit bases

5 Regiments of Tallspears

5 Regiments of Archers

2 Troops of Scouts

2 Troops of Crossbow

1 Regiment of “House Guard” (ie. the “Drow”)

1 Troop of Double-handed Guards

1 Beastmaster

1 Troop Cavalry

2 Bolt throwers

1 “Prince”

1 Standard Bearer

By my reckoning this is a total of 2315 points (+ whatever I decide about the Beastmaster – so close to 2500 without the additional 4 boxes of Spearmen)

I also have Dungeon Saga so can use the Madriga figure and I also need to think about some kind of Mage.  If I add these two figures, this would bring the overall total army value to about 2750 I think.

So, next step is to think of color scheme(s)
