15mm Tree Army



I've added some spider and slug swarms and an arcane artefact to finish my tree army (coz they're so much easier to paint than the Elves). This one is unusual in Sword and Spear as none of the units can benefit from being stacked with leaders (Beasts and Large Beasts) and some (Swarms and Monsters) that don't care about leaders' command ranges. Therefore I decided to remove all Generals and Captains from the list, and give the Beasts steadfast to make up for it. This was actually cheaper, in any case. I have splashed out on magic users to mitigate this, and also get a decent amount of Summoning as I plan to summon all the swarms to the table.

So my 1500 pointer looks like this:

50 Trees: 17, 25 (1082) + (Wiz3+Wiz3+Wiz3+Wiz3= 400) = 1482

I also did a base, well a tent, for my Elves.

  3. Thinking about canning my flying monster, it's very expensive and doesn't seem to achieve anything

    1. Yeah, monsters (and heroes) are difficult to use. I don't really feel I have worked out how to do it, yet.
