I've been rummaging thru some old models and decided to refurbish some GW figures for HotT. I'd like to build an elven army reminiscent of pre thrid-age tolkien elves, mainly the Noldor of Feanor. I have an old Mageknight figure I'm painting up as Feanor and have cme up with the ff elements: 2 x Blades; 2 x Shooters; 1 x Magician (general) Any recos as to the other elements? link

Perhaps some heavy cavalry of some sort: cv or kn? Grelber |

I'm thinking of adding 2 riders. I'm not sure about the source material but Luke Ueda-Sarson's notes mention horse archers only. I'm also open to adding more "fantastical" elements but can't figure out what. |

Oh here are Luke Ueda-Sarson's notes I was referring to: link |

Heavy cavalry is attested. I like the Ueda-Sarson article. You know, with minimal changes you could use the 10mm Warmaster Fantasy High Elves. Also, Copplestone Castings has some 10mm figures. |

good figures but I'd like to reuse the old GW figs. I've seen some posted around that look fantastic. |

I'm rebasing my GW LOTR figures for HOTT (well really D3H2 – the DBA3.0 version of Hordes 2.0) – even as we speak. Work great though I often use one less figure per base than the conventional DB mounting scheme (this is allowed under D3H2). TomT |
