Day 12: Keeping with the Dragon Theme

DAY 12: DRAGON PRINCES

I converted these guys after the 7th edition High Elf book came out.  The addition of Always Strikes First and Star Dragons to the entire army really spoiled a lot of my enjoyment with the High Elves, which was a shame, given that they are the army I first collected when I started playing the game.

I tried a few different things to bring myself back around to the High Elves... a new paint scheme... some new models... new conversions.  Nothing brought my attention back to them.  But now...

Now we're in 8th edition.  The handful of games I've played as High Elves has shown me that now, with bigger units and the "Step Up" rule, ASF is a leveling force.  With all the re-rolls and the first strike, HE get to take a good chunk of models off the opponent's side.  After that, the opponent gets to do exactly the same thing... unlike in 7th, where the opponent would charge in, lose all the models that would otherwise be attacking, and bounce off.

No fun at all there.

Hoping that changes when I start picking them up more.

Some close ups...
