Chapter 2 - Prince Tyrion


Tyrion, The Defender of Ulthuan

"Though our fair homeland is beset on all sides, we shall resist, as our fathers did before us. In these dark times, as our tainted brethren ravage our shores, we stand defiant and shall emerge victorious. For we are the Asur, the true kin of Aenarion, and Ulthuan shall never fall."

Tyrion and his twin brother Teclis are the two foremost Asur warriors to have come from the line of Aenarion, these two twins are are the Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger of the Asur, with Teclis a weak but powerful mind and Tyrion the foremost swordsman and warrior among the Elves of Ulthuan, and possible all of Elf kind, perhaps even in the whole Warhammer Fantasy world. (FD- if the elf Propaganda is to be believed "scoff")


Background



Tyrion is one of our favourite Elven "Special" Characters in the Warhammer Fantasy lore. His martial prowess is the Ying to his twin brothers Loremaster Yang. Should you set up your  army and face this elven prince, you will know he is a threat to any mini on the Warhammer battlefield. Tyrion cannot be ignored, resplendent in his golden armour, sat astride Malhandir the finest horse in the elven realms, waving the stoic Asur ranks forward with Aenarion's own blade "Sunfang" and slaying enemy champions in combat. 



  

The dynamic model mirrors the famous stance of Napoleon in the famous painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps", the same stance was used on Archaon, Lord of the End Times.

We don't think this is a coincidence, this elven warriors pose is surely inspired by Napoleon's famous painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps". This makes for an evocative model on the battlefield, suitable to lead the disciplined legions of the Asur.

Interestingly, this famous painting was procured as a set of 5 to be hung in different locations in France, Spain and Italy, four where competed and differ from each other slightly, a fifth was never completed by the artist and remained incomplete in his artists workshop until his death.

The Painting


This is an old paint scheme from the mid naughties, as you can see he is resplendent upon his goblin green base which was the basing method of choice or us at the time. As such we will just give a brief overview on the painting strategy employed.





I (The Fat Dwarf) recall being very excited by the release of this mini back in Warhammer Fantasy 6th edition. I negotiated with Gildoren to paint it for him, I was still very much on the learning curve from starting in the hobby and would eagerly paint up a dynamic character mini from any army (even the treacherous Asur!-FD).



Malhandir is an elven steed of noble origin, and as such is venerated with his own headdress 

You can see from the images that I was rigidly following the "layering" technique that was prevalent in the Games Workshop community at that time.


"Our fate brings us here and our fate sends us home! Forth! Forth now! For Ulthuan and the day of our destiny!"

My line work wasnt quite so good back then.. 



This "unfortunate" went the same way as the famed assassin Urian Poisonblade

Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went ...

Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 - Har Ganeth Darkshards

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords and Dreadspears . I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to hav...

Warhammer Fantasy - High Elves Chronicles of The Glorious Host Chapter 1 -  Archmage & Eagles This post is about my High Elf Archmage on Great Eagle conversion. If you want to see the links to what iv used, or the other relevant blog posts then please see the end of this post for the "HANDY LINKS SECTION" Lindalan the Pure of Heart rides the Great Eagle Gwindolir "Lindalan" the Pure of Heart has gained added manoeuvrability and resiliency by being mounted on a Great Eagle . This post is about kit-bashing a High Elf Mage on a Great Eagle for a High Elf Army. Lindalan first appeared in Phaedrils' Sky Patrol - An Army list from one of Gildoren's Campaigns A Great Eagle is an appealing mount option for Archmages in any High Elf army list, the Great Eagle offers increased mobility (and toughness) as they follow the rules for monstrous beasts ( p85, WHF Rulebook 8th Edition ). Also gaining a "STOMP" attack in combat. Lindalan's hobbies inclu...
