The Shadeborn

 Hidden in the shadows on purpose, because they are the Shadeborn...

 

... and that reason was I was taking them to an event in the local Warhammer store last weekend.

 

So not to hint at what I would bring, letting people guess that I would take either Elathain, the new Kurnothi or Hrothgorn, I instead went for these Aelven assassins.  Because they have reach on their attacks, all do at least 2 damage even uninspired, and their shadow abilities make them mobile as hell for that very fast redeployment should it be needed.

 

Now, I didn't fancy painting their traditional all black and dark grey colours, but instead went from a more misty look, guess I should call them the Mistborne then instead.  Out of the mists they came, the murder hobo's!

 

Battlewise, I have a plan for them, as I figured out a way for an 18 hex (!!!!) charge, and will be coupling them probably to two pure Strike decks for maximal assault capabilites.  But the downside being I need to find some balance in objectives, as the strike decks usually have rather hard and situational high score end objectives. 

 

But never the less I will be looking forward to bring these to the table, as due to reasons somehow they have been waiting so long for paint, even though I also loved the look of the figures!
