nine09nueve Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) The kid is good :) And you had to spend a fortune to get all this pieces to assemble this army. Thanks I'll be sure to tell him when he's back from school! Actually not as bad as you'd think - to start with I got a good deal on a bulk of elves - then selling the heads and the hands helped pay for the other bits... and it gets added to over time... and it just meant not spending money on other stuff instead!

BrickSev Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 and it just meant not spending money on other stuff instead! That's the hard part I would have one of the greatest Lego armies in the world if I focused only on a single project but since the reason I spend money for a hobby is to relax and have fun, variety is important to me. So I move from one project to another otherwise I get bored Quote
nine09nueve Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 So I move from one project to another otherwise I get bored Some people are consolidators (happy to do the same thing over and over) whilst others are expanders (need to be constantly doing new stuff) Neither is better or worse... That's life! Quote

Anduin1710 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 And I thought I have many elves. This is unbelievable! And now they have to change yellow into skin color. :p Quote
BrickSev Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 And I thought I have many elves. This is unbelievable! And now they have to change yellow into skin color. :p If I'm not mistaken the flesh color is used for the "Licensed Themes", right? Personally I have no problem with either the flesh or yellow color. As long as the Minifigure looks cool, it's fine for me Quote
nine09nueve Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 As long as the Minifigure looks cool, it's fine for me Heh - hoping that means I get a thumbs up then? Quote
BrickSev Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Heh - hoping that means I get a thumbs up then? Of course. You have a very impressive army and the Minfigures do look cool so everything is fine Here your thumbs up Btw do you plan to expand your army further? Also let me know how you "table-top war-gaming rules" project goes. I'm very curious Quote

I'm very curious Yeah sorry - the core troops have been exposed on their own for too long - been buggy at our Lego household - have all the models ready just need to find time to film and post them (and not get too distracted by other projects in the meantime!) As soon as I have some stuff ready I'll let you know... Quote

As soon as I have some stuff ready I'll let you know... Don't worry. I too get distracted by several projects at once Do you like only Wood Elves or do you some project regarding, just to use the classic Warhammer-like definition , "High Elves"? Btw I'll look forward your new stuff Quote
nine09nueve Posted February 26, 2015 Author Posted February 26, 2015 Nah have loads of army plans... Just little things get In the way... Like time... and cash... and life! It's so much easier to do wood elves... TLG don't seem to have the right torso/legs in the right colour combos for high elves - and forget about helmets for them (or the lack thereof!) I suppose high elves could be customised, with a decal here and a lick of paint there... But that's not so easy for me as I'm just starting out in that area and have limited skills. But there are so many other factions that can be made so much easier without customising that I'll end up going in other directions first! Quote

Time, cash and life: the three things that always stand between us and our hobbies High Elves in Warhammer style is indeed a very complex project. I was thinking more about something "loosely inspired by". Namely Elves without the "wood" part There are surely other "easier to make" factions. Has anyone ever thought about using some "Chima headpieces" (I'm not a huge fan of them, though) to create some Lizardmen? I know it wouldn't be very accurate but I'm very curious Quote
Wardancer Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 I thought about High Elves a lot and its almost impossible if you look for making them white. For some reason, there is a distinct lack of parts with white/Silver combinations. One important step towards this was the CMF Greek battle Goddesses torso in white and gold, but this is only one part. Lizardmen I would enjoy seeing. There are lizardmen heads by brickforge and lots of dinosaurs to make bigger units. Quote

Let's hope in the future we'll get more white/silver parts Regarding the Lizardmen: this year we'll get a lot of dinosaurs, they would be perfect as Lizardmen's mounts. After the mounts they get in Warhammer are de facto dinosaurs Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Time, cash and life: the three things that always stand between us and our hobbies I would add Wife as a fourth... but mine is lovely and lets me play (with my son's Lego!)

(apart from the helmets.... ) Quote
Wardancer Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Can current decal-makers make decals that have real metallic paint on them? Also on legs? Quote
BrickSev Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 I would add Wife as a fourth... but mine is lovely and lets me play (with my son's Lego!) Well I'm not married so... lol I just have a very special person and, of course, she is more important than any hobby but this is not a thing relevant to the topic Can current decal-makers make decals that have real metallic paint on them? Also on legs? I'm sure some of them will be able to do it. Personally I'm not a fan of decals but I recognize there are circumstances where they can be very useful Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Having said all that... very nice work (again as usual) by Baron von Brick (hmm wonder if he's on here?) Quote
BrickSev Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Having said all that... https://www.flickr.c...in/photostream/ very nice work (again as usual) by Baron von Brick (hmm wonder if he's on here?) That's very similar to what I was thinking about when I mentioned "High Elves". Great work, indeed Quote
Rogue Angel Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 The Baron has some great Elves there, but the helmets are the one thing we need. You cannot make a true High Elven force without them. Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Do you hear that "Thrash"? The people have spoken - we want High Elven helmets... and we want them soon! (I would say now but it's a bit aggressive...) That's at least 4 people that will buy them... (and I bought over 200 of them for my last army!) much love D Quote
Gary The Procrastinator Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 That's crazy-awesome. Very impressive army!! And cute kid too Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 That's crazy-awesome. Very impressive army!! And cute kid too Yeah - we like him!

Let's hope in the future we'll get more white/silver parts Some more golden high elves ---> http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=106617 Quote
BrickSev Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Some more golden high elves ---> http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=106617 I gave a quick look. They are nice, sadly a little "too much aggressive ads" on the pages he linked but overall and interesting army Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 16, 2015 Author Posted March 16, 2015 +1 to the ad pages (perhaps we should encourage him to post in a more viewer friendly site?) but yes - definitely some good ideas there! Quote
