My Army

**Monkeymatt** · Militiaman Joined: 24 May 2008 Posts: 61

Well I have decided to add a bit of backround to my army(When I have enough money to start getting most of the models)

Leader:Prince Londrey on Star Dragon,High Elf Mage Morvael

Cavalry:Dragon Princes,Silver Helms,Tiranoc Chariot

Foot Soldiers:Swords Masters,Spearmen,Archers

(At the moment I only have the Spearmen,Swordmasters and Archers but this is my plan)

I will post pictures of my men soon

Backround:

Prince Londrey and his brother Morvael are sons of Finubar.But realising that telling the public about his sons would put them in risk so he asked Tyrion and Teclis to find the best way to deal with it,Which ended with Tyrion getting the Dragon princes to look after Londrey and Teclis took Morvael to the White Tower.

Londrey did well with the Dragon princes and soon asked to try and ride a dragon,and after a long amount of searching Tyrion found someone who wouldn't tell about Londrey being the Son of Finubar he was aloud to train with Dragons,At this time Morvael hadn't proved a good warrior and was now bring trained into a Mage.

At the age of 162 Londrey had fully learn't about using dragons and now with the help of his brother called on every High Elf who could fight to join him on a crusade against the Dark Elves.

Hearing that 2 of the Phoenix King's sons were going on crusade,Nobles from all around Ulthuan joined up to prove how loyal they are.

A good start, though I would add some names in there (for your prince and such). It would probably fit into your fluff also that your Prince hails from Shapery, which is probably why Teclis would assist you. High Elves are a proud race and if your from that same region you'll probably get more help.

Either that, or I suggest this idea (actually this one makes more sense to me):

Your Prince (Named ____) is from Caleador (hence the dragon and dragon princes) but has a twin brother (Named ____) who has been training with the mages of the white tower for quite some time. When your prince went to the White Tower seeking aid the twin brother (characterized as a Wizard Lord) was appointed to join him along with a contingent of Swordmasters.

While Teclis would be awesome to have along, I don't think he'd stick around too long as he usually is running back and forth from the Old World to Ulthuan. Just my two cents.

But great start on the storyline, I always love to see people add fluff to their armies!

Right I have edited it again.

Fluff looks better though quite interesting. I would point out though that elves usually spend ages mastering skills (like hundreds of years) so in most eyes 34 is quite nothing. Maybe 134, but other then that I'd vote for something older.

Otherwise it's looking better, I like it!

Yes I'mgoing to try and get my dad to take some pictures of my troops so I can post them and in roughly 5 weeks(Hopefully) I should be getting about £500 ($1000 ish) from the selling of my nans house,Which I will use some of that to get a Battalion and proabley a Dragon and a Mage.

nice work MonkeyMatt.

Check out the Lion Chariot it's powerful on the battlefield and a great model. Also, you should be able to grab a bargain on eBay for White Lions and Swordmasters - I did (although I got mine a couple of months before the new High Elf army book came out last November)
