So for months I've been contemplating jumping in the deep end and starting a fantasy army, writing up army lists and having a couple of proxy battles to see what I like. Recently another friend had been talking about playing Lord of the Rings which got me thinking about making a generic army for WHFB, LotR and Mantics new/upcoming game Kings of War. So thinking along these lines I've decided to free myself of the shackles of Games Workshop and make a generic Elven army using various ranges from different companies to make something unique. So here's the ideas I've got at the moment, I'll start with Fantasy and models I'm thinking of to fill a HE army and then go onto an Elven Kingdoms LotR army and finish up with Kings of War.
Noble/Prince/Special Character: Various Reaper minis.
Mage: Various Reaper minis.
Archers: Mantic Elven Bowmen
Spear men: Mantic Elven Spearmen
Sea-Guard: Possibly Galadhrim Warriors from GWs LotR range.
Sword Masters: Mantic Palace Guard
Phoenix Guard: Gamezone Dark Elf Lancers
White Lions: ???
Silver Helms/Dragon Princes/ Ellyrian Reavers: GW Dragon Princes
Shadow Warriors: Various Reaper Minis, Lothlórien Elf Bowmen (GW LotR)
Lion/Tironic Chariots: GWs HE chariots.
Repeater Bolt Thrower: Gamezone Bolt Thrower or GW HE RBT
Great Eagle: GW Great Eagle
Dragons: GW HE Dragon (can't beat plastic!)
Lord of the Rings
Characters: Various Reaper Minis
Galadhrim/High Elf Archer Regiments: Mantic Elven Bowmen
Galadhrim/High Elf Regiment: Gamezone Dark Elf Lancers? Galadhrim Warriors
Wood Elf Warband/Mirk Wood Sentinels: Various Reaper Minis, Lothlórien Elf Bowmen (GW LotR)
Galadhrim Knights: Dragon princes
High Elf Cohort/Riven Guard: Mantic Spear Elves
Kings of War:
As half my models will be KoW products I imagine it'll be simple transition :)
