I have a distaste for elves of all flavour. That comes from years of min/maxers destroying AD&D campaigns with jank High elf or Dark elf builds (esp. the Dark elves..."I use the inate Darkness 30', then use the tumbling skill to get behind the target, and my character's Blindfighting skill negates the penalties from being blinded, and since the character is using bucklers and daggers, plus his 19 Dex, means he's 0 AC and has three attacks, with the first one being a Backstab.) it ruined the idea of them.

I have stayed far away and have tried Orcs, Orgres, kobolds, and Gnomes because elves and dwarves are the most common races, even above human. Rarely they are picked for the roleplaying experience, but for the bonuses that come from being that race. ...+1 to hit with longswords and bows before profiencenies or stat bonuses.


I would get some eldar.models, so I could do last.stands, or any other situation where they get wiped out to the last man. Maybe the last Craftworld's last stand? I love them that much. Forever being killed by Orcs or humans or robots or whatevers. You know, just typing it gets me thinking of how great.that is. hmmm...maybe I should do Slannash Demon army...huh, what was I saying? Ah yes, Elves, don't like 'em.

I wasn't joking about getting space elf models to play out last stands. But my distaste for elves doesn't extend to the players of elves. I would pitty the person that can't seperate themselves from the models or game.

ah! So I am not the only one that has a murder boner for elves due to 2nd Ed nonsense. You don't know how good it is to hear that. I always felt the odd man out.
