Once upon a time I was a teenager reading the 5th ed High Elves army book and I fell in love with Warhammer. I gathered a high elf army (as well as a greenskin waaagh!) over the years that was stubbornly always metal. I didn't like the plastics from 4th ed or 6th ed. Anyway, Age of Sigmar came and killed warhammer fantasy battles, and in a moment of financial need I sold my beloved metal High Elves.
I'm clearly in a better position today, given I have started collecting and playing Lumineth. I recently came into possession of one full set of the Island of Blood High Elves and another set of each of the units as well. On the one hand, Swifthawk Agents are sort of interesting, on the other getting a hold of a pair of Lothern Sky Cutters makes playing Lumineth look cheap...especially for an army that will never receive an update.
A part of me thinks I ought to leave these guys on their square bases and have no intent to use them in Age of Sigmar--but to simply paint them as a not-really-viable Warhammer 8th edition army (it's honestly not bad though and there's nothing a blob of phoenix guard can't remedy). Of course, I don't know anyone in my area that plays 8th edition...and 9th age isn't truly appealing to me.
Anyway, is there anyone else that would do the same and put in hobby time for a dead game? Would you sell them off? Keep them in a shoebox? I really enjoy these sculpts but their size difference next to the Lumineth rank and file is jarring. I guess I've talked myself into this course of action, but I'm also happy to be talked out of it.

Why shouldn't Destruction have an industrious faction? I think Gitmob, with all their war machines and contraptions would mix well with wolves and, uh, dire chicken grotbags, would be perfect. They're as much builders as would be possible for the destruction ethos

Worked out my color scheme on this unit. Still needs some cleaning up.

I once would have wished for the double turn to go away, but I certainly respect its place in the game and as a design choice. To me, it ensures that Age of Sigmar is played for fun above all else. I played Warmachine competitively, and do not wish for AoS to resemble that game even at its height.
My best friend is a Bretonnian through and through, and he won't touch a miniatures game where Bretonnians aren't actively supported. I want Bretonnians back. Not as a city of Sigmar in Azyr, but maybe as a human enclave out in Ghur.
Currently there is no Death faction that really draws my interest. A Soulblight faction with soulblight battleline units, possibly styled as they are in Castlevania, would be awesome.

My favorite is when someone tilts when losing to you because they KNOW that they're vastly more intelligent than you, but the dice bear out this terrible injustice upon their ego. I like a little salt with my sweet tear tea.

But I hope that they won’t. Especially because they managed to retain some old Skaven minis.
It is amazing they have the gall to repackage 20+ year old models like gutter runners and csm bikers, but they'll delete non PG high elves.

Back to Order Draconis: is it fun to play with it against? Or is it just the same battle over and over again?
-
Thanks for the quick reply! Would you say that paying for a second battalion isn't worth the points, since the outliers are going to be sitting objectives? Also, would shadow warriors work instead of PG?
-
I'm new to AoS and interested in Order Draconis. My understanding is that the lists* remain largely the same, even if the different elements had their points adjusted. I also see that the army is sort of a one trick pony, but is that a trick that can have several permutations depending on terrain and opponent, or is it just "can you go first and get the charge on turn 1?"
*Is there really more than one list at each points value?

Hey all, I'm wondering how the quality of these books stacks up against the Horus Heresy novels? My favorite Heresy book was A Thousand Sons, so I guess, how do they hold up against that?

Nice! The stone looks really good and the color balance is solid. I can't wait to paint my Eltharion either!
