Aelves


The red dragons of Azyr were a sight to behold. Ethoric Windhelm watched, fascinated as they swooped on the warm winds to snatch at shoals of fish, their armoured scales glistening in the rays of the sun like rubies, their wings beating with grace and force. 'Set Sail Captain' he called with a smile. He turned to his men. Rows of Aelves stood tall and proud in armour of shining silver and gold on the deck of the ship. They brandished deep blue shields adorned with the red dragon sigil of the Dawnspire.  'Long have the Aelves of the Dawn Spire patrolled these waters and  always have the Red Dragons watched over us . Now we sail into lands unknown to face our enemies and to purge those lands of Chaos, Death and Destruction. By the Grace of Sigmar the Dragon Lords will follow us into glory!" In unison the Spire guard slammed their spears into the deck.  'For Azyr!' They chorused 'For Sigmar!'. Above them, a dragon roared.

 I love the idea of the Aelves having some mastery over mythical creatures such as dragons, giant eagles and Phoenixes. The aim with this army is to build from a basic 500 points of battleline units with decent ranged attacks. My hero, the Lothern Sea Helm Ethoric Windhelm will hopefully give  a significant ranged buff these units need in the early turns to avoid messy close quarters combat. Eventually I hope to introduce dragons and dragon blades. This gives me the potential to build towards 3 Warscroll battalions.

Lothern Sea Helm. 100 Points
5 Reavers. 160 Points
10 Spireguard 120 Points
Sky Cutter 120 Points
