Which Army for 48pt Expansion
Ok, the plan is to have a 48 pt HotT Tournament in July so the question is which army/armies to double up on ('cause we all know I won't be able to do a full 48pts from scratch before then, or at least I do). It'll either be my High Elves (most likely) or my Dark Elves. Here is my High Elf roster as it stands:
-High Elf Commander w/retinue (Hero General)
-(2) Dragon Knights (Knights)
-(1) Reaver Knight (Rider)
-(2) Elf Spear (Spear)
-(2) Elf Bowmen
-Phoenix Guard (Blade)
- Shadow Warriors (Sneaker)
- Dryad (Lurker)
I'd like to add (2) Magician stands as I feel this army is lacking in the magicky elfness, and (2) more spear. That's half a new army there. Another Blade would be cool (the Phoenix Guard figures are awesome!). But what else, what else? Any suggestions? Please drop me a line and LMK what you think...

Bolt Throwers for Artillery? I know you have one laying around, that chariot you have as a Behemoth (if you use the lions) or as a Knight (with the horses). Only other thing I can think of would be one flyer, that really cool giant eagle you have.

Ooooo, I like the idea of a Behemoth using the Lion Chariot - I like that a LOT! Thanks, alec I think that just moved up right behind the Magicians on the to-do list!

Ok, got a start on my High Elf army expansion on Sat at June Game Day. I was able to get the Bolt Thrower put together and put on a base. I also cleaned the crew, but I will paint them first before I put them on the base. Which means I will have to partially putty the base of the bolt thrower, paint it then add the crew, and then finish puttying up the base to paint the base all at the same time. I also decided to add the White Lions of Chrace elves (the old OOP versions) to the army as Warband. I need something to punch through opposing Blade and Spear, and the models are cool besides! These guys will have more golden armor and earthy colors (tan, brown, bt orange) so they should stand out from the shiny blue armor of the majority of my army. Next up, two stands of Magicians (one on order) and two Spear. Not sure where I am going after that since I dont think I will be able to finish the Chariot up in time for the tournament and still get the other stuff done. We'll see how it goes. The 48AP tournament is July 10!

Funny guy, Mack. Seriously, though, I never have been successful trying to think of suitable Horde minis for High Elves (I had to consider it when I added the Sneakers in; I dont particularly LIKE the Dryad Lurker but it's what I came up with). Got any ideas for High Elf Hordes???
