Many find the witch elf’s pose to be divisive. You can level them up quickly and once they have block they are quite a handful. These expensive players start with frenzy and dodge so are both a threat on offense and defense. Now, the true stars of the dark elf team, the witch elves! These psychopathic females are what really make the dark elf team the most unique. The helmets fit in with the nautical look of the dark elf team, but has the unfortunate side effect of making them look like a certain TMNT villain. To tie them all together as one cohesive position, I gave them all Idoneth Deepkin heads from the Age of Sigmar range. The female lineman torso is a little small and femine and the blitzer legs feature some serious booty, but them together and the result is she’s a little dummy thicc as the kids say these days. Since that meant I had a spare pair of dark elf blitzer legs, I experimented and found I could fit the torso of the female lineman on them. It took a fair bit of cutting and filing to get the two bodies to work together, but they came together in the end. 2 has a dark elf blitzer torso on elven union blitzer legs. The GW box only comes with two blitzers and I didn’t want to buy a second box and be left with a bunch of minis I don’t need, so I got a little creative. While there are more unique players on the dark elf roster, the dark elf team is the only elf team to allow four blitzers and starting off with that much block is really helpful. The team features several conversions, even if it’s just a simple headswap because I prefer my teams to avoid repeat poses whenever possible.įor me, four blitzers are a must-have on a starting dark elf team. I stocked up on bits from bits sellers and bits from friends and finally got them built and painted at the tail end of 2020. I think I bought them back in 2019 when I found them for sale unboxed but unbuilt at the bits in of my friendly local game store. The dark elves have been sitting around in my Pile of Potential for quite some time. ![]() Because they deserve it! These will not be posted by in any kind 2020 sequential order. Instead of a 2020 review post, I’m going to give each project it’s own post. Part of that delay was mustering the willpower to haul out the lightbox and take some shiny pics of my minis which I didn’t manage to do until last night. Leap can be fun but is a bit woody… Have helmets and muchos spikes to set them apart.I had a plan to write a year-end review of 2020 with all the projects I finished, I even started writing a lengthy post about it that I meant to finish … but here we are in mid-February and I didn’t finish. I like a couple of blodge tacklers, and at least one strip baller. To be honest in a league I’d start with neither initially, probably opting for 4 blitzers (did I just contradict myself?) and adding a Witch after a few games.īlitzers… the only elf team that can take 4, so tool them up different. I recommend not grabbing the Assassin until later in a league, unless you’re playing a single fun pickup game. Having only 10 linos helps me never forget… and forces me to take at least one. Otherwise you’re better of playing regular or High Elves. The reason is that if you’re going to play Dark Elves, you simply MUST include at least one of their unique positionals, namely Witch Elves or an Assassin. You might ask why? (you might not care…). Though you can play with 11 linos, I deliberately only built 10. I once took a 3-0 schooling against a team of 11 Dark Elf linemen in a league – it was a salutary lesson and one that, in part, has driven the addition of extra linemen to this particular team build. Notoriously difficult to use against a good opponent – however a very fun team to play. ![]() After looking at the sprues, I changed direction. This was supposed to be a wood elf project, but alas it went wrong. Another Blood Bowl team! I know some of the ToP readers don’t play Blood Bowl, but I have no idea why that might be, it is the game of kings.
