High Elves, Ellyrion Reaver

 
 
 
  

I have painted another unit of Ellyrion Reavers but this time its an older sculpts than previously. I dont really like these older plastic horses but the metal riders are really nice.

In this post you will find lots and lots of pictures of the latest unit of Ellyrion Reavers.
I gave the horses a rune on the back legs as of the old painted picture and I also gave some of the riders extra details on their trousers or their shirt arms.

As with previous painted High Elves I have given them a blue/purple tint to make them look somewhat surreal. 

So please click on the pictures to see larger ones.

Battle for Kursk, WWII - Battlegroup AAR

 
At the end of the summer my friend Tobias held a massive WW2 Battle for Kursk event.
We used the excellent Battlegroup rules from The Plastic Soldier Company.

Tobias had put A LOT of work in to get all the terrain together as well ass painting almost all the Soviet and German forces for this event.
Really impressive.

We were three players on each side and Tobias acted rule and game master for the event.

It was a really fun game day.


I took the overall command of the Soviet forces and personal command of the center.
My t34 force had real problem facing tigers and pzIV and other german forces in the middle but we had better luck on the flanks.

It was a tight game with lots of burning tanks at the end (mostly mine...), but there are plenty more t34 were they come from...

So please take the time and check in some of the pictures from the game day we had.
Especially the last ones that Tobias edited, they look great.
