Since then I've been building up my army (or in other words, I splurged on eBay) which consists mostly of 4th edition Archers and Spearmen for my core with a mixture of plastics and metals (which I'm slowly replacing with plastics where available). When we got back into playing in 2008, my friend who got me into Warhammer was using Empire so I ended up taking on High Elves. I first played Warhammer with some friends back in the early '90s and didn't have an army per se, buying a few Empire and High Elf models that I liked. So, given that disclaimer, why am I writing this review? Well, I'm a Warhammer player and High Elves are my army.
