Once, many moons ago, I had placed an order with Maelstrom for some paints.  When I got my package, there was a free sprue of Mantic Elf Scouts in the box.  I thought they were awesome and the next time I ordered some more paints, I added a box of 10 scouts.

Now I've finally decided I should get more elves.  They'll primarily be used as a demo force to show the game to people.

Should I get one of each different type of thing?  A shooting regiment?  A cavalry regiment?  Some spear elves?  A warmachine?  A hero (likely a prince to keep the points low)?

What's the best way to build a tiny 500 point army to show the game off when it comes to elves?

Hmm I'm no elf expert but I'd suggest keeping to the basics for demo's so, spears archers and scouts and a hero and/or warmachine.

That way you can say that its a core force and you can add on extras like cavalry, eletes and the more exotic stuff thats in the list (more money than a basic troops choice and some of which are made by other companys).

prince, stormwind troop plus command, 2 scout troops, spear regiment plus command.

small, fast and hard hitting units are what elves say to me anyway Smiley

I guess I was basically wondering if there was some sort of obvious demo-friendly approach, but it looks like I can be pretty flexible.

So I think I'm going to start with going for miniatures I think look cool.  I like the scouts, so I'll get another 10 to either make them a regiment or operate as two troops.

I love the look of the spearmen regiment's porcupine look.  So that's definitely going to be included.

I'll probably grab the court set with the characters.

Then I'll have to decide if I'd rather have cavalry or artillery.

Thanks guys!
