Welcome to my second major battle reports thread in which I will post many battle reports of High Elf games - if you aren't familiar with my style and videos you may want to visit my Tomb Kings batrep thread found here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/230276.page

Here's a look at my army so far:



Recently I played this army at a tournament in New Zealand called Tin Soldiers 2. A brief slideshow video of me explaining the army and list can be viewed here:

part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3SYOQiIV4U

I played a number of practice games with this army leading up to the tournament, none of which resulted in battle reports. I know some of you wanted to watch these, but the army just wasn't finished or even assembled completely during those games. but now, new reports are out! Click on the link below to view a playlist of all games that my high elves played in the tournament.

Below: Dastardly Dryads defy the dragon princes at dusk. A lot of D's were used in that sentence.



There will be more battle reports added to this thread as I play new games, over the coming weeks and months.

Glad to see the High Elves in action finally.

Must say I have a few reservations about your list, still the army looks fantastic hope it works well for you.

Look forward to watching all these reports.

Beautiful army Vaul, and fairly interesting for HE too. I look forward to watching your games in the tourny ...

Nice looking army.

Interesting idea taking the skeinsilver, with a small army to get +2 to first turn, very nice.

It actually has 11 deployments, so doesn't usually finish first.... the +1 helps to counteract the problem of facing the prospect of my opponent getting to pick each time.

Well, you have one of the coolest accents ever

I ran out of time watching it after parts 1&2 before I got to the battle reports, so I'm going to watch some more when I get back on a computer with spearkers

Excellent painting, and I guess I'll find out soon if you have generalship (sp?) to match!! I'm looking forward to it since I'm starting high elves and have some similar units, so I will get to see how you use them!

Always a good listen. I enjoy playing them while I paint- which means I don't see all the pictures, but your narrative is usually sufficient. And if you mention a particularly critical moment/impressive picture, I'll put down my brush and have a gander.

I'm about half way through the tourney and greatly enjoying it thus far. Thanks for posting.

The batrep thread resumes with a new High Elf battle report - this time with a 'novelty' list that I would never use in a tournament. This one is just for fun.

High Elves vs Orcs & Goblins

I have put a lot of effort into buying, assembling and painting two warhammer armies this year. The time has come to play them off against each other.

Sorry to post this twice in both of my threads... it's just that some people follow the TK one, and others follow the HE one...

Introducing the Dragonmage!!! Probably one of the least efficient things in the high elf army book. Good times, crankin out a decade old model.

How do you make those bases o_o they look great

He mentioned on one of his other videos that the bases are from a small company,can't rember the name though.

That's right- take a look around for textured plasticard and you should find something similar.

RZ

I think I rember them being called Iron Halo or something like that.Anywho to get back on topic,nice reports very intresting.

You know what I've discovered, Vaul?

Your video batreps are great to listen to while painting.

Kudos on the victory over the Orcs!

Ah, I do exactly the same. If it sounds like a pic I particularly want to see, I put down the brush, and pause it for a gander.

Thanks for posting...

RZ

Thanks for more great reports Vaul, always enjoy when you put a new one up for us. Definitely good stuff to build / paint too

Nice victory too, game got pretty gnarly there once the dragon princes went, but the lions certainly hacked it back for you.
