BAO 2013: Round #3 - Wood Elves

For Round 3 of BAO, I played Troy Perez and his Wood Elf army.


Troy (this guy on the left) was playing a very different Wood Elf build from mine. He was playing the Eternal Guard and Treekin-bus army which is a good army against heavy troop lists (especially Skaven), but was going to have a tough time handling my cavalry and small unit list.

Having played many Wood Elf versus Wood Elf games, I have found that the player with more shooting comes out on top, and this game was no different.

Dark Elf Army List (Update #1)

With this progression of posts I will show what I am currently adding to my army list for the Alamo GT at the start of November. Each update will include new units, changes, and reasons why I felt the need to add or drop items, units, etc.

Here are the units that I am currently planning on bringing to the Alamo GT:

Dark Elf Thoughts #1

Well, the new Dark Elf book is out now, and although there has already been lots of discussion on various forums and podcasts, I wanted to take a look at what I thought were the major changes in the book, as well as my though process as I begin to design my army list for the Alamo GT. Here we go!

Painting Contest Progress #3

Another few days have passed, and a little bit more time was spent on the paint competition miniature. Here is my progress:

New Stuff: Dark Elf Army Book

On Saturday morning (tomorrow), I go to pick up the new Dark Elf Army Book. I will be playing Dark Elves at this year's Alamo GT and army lists are due October 24th. This gives me about three weeks to really go over the book and get an army designed (with what I have and can paint in such a short time). I will update this blog on the army design choices and everything else going on as I prepare for the Alamo. Let's get going!

Painting Contest Progress #2

A little more than a week has passed since I worked on either paint contest model. The models are due Saturday and I don't think I am going to be able to finish them both. So, I made an executive decision to finish one of the models (even if it is not perfect) so that I have accomplished something. With that being said, here is the progress I have made in the last two nights.

Painting Contest Progress #1

So as I posted a little while ago, I have been working on two models for an upcoming paint contest. I generally don't enter paint contests with delusions of winning, but I find that each time my painting gets a little bit better. As such, I enter the contests to see if I can't place a little higher or try out a new painting technique. These pictures are about a week old, and much more progress has occurred, but I have been busy. And without further ado, here is my progress so far:
