This is one of those tribute threads of which I pick out something I know a great deal of, and inflict it on members of the guild because I think it would fit their persona.

For example, some of you may of seen my Bretonnian Army.

I have an affinity for heavy cavalry charges... I like them, and thats why I play them, lets face it, I'm Old School. Also I hang out with wiccans and pagans a lot... so I also play Wood Elves

Something about an army of walking trees and more archers than I know what to do with really makes me smile.

Now for the guild members

In Medias Res was easy to decide on. A classical studies major, a good idea of ancient history, she's definitely Tomb Kings.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Mummies and Skeletons and Chariots, oh my... Yeah Something tells me that In Medias Res would do a really good job understanding the inner workings of an army based on Egyptian Mythos.

Kingpinsqueezels has a love of rodents and jedis, what better than Skaven

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Clan Eshin, giant walking rats that fight like ninjas. Yeah they lack cuteness, but what can I say, they're rats, not squirrels.

Divash wears her Judaism like a badge of honor. She takes pride in her heritage and culture. High Elves for her.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

I don't think she'd have a problem with a blue and white army. Divash is also quite regimented in her ways, as are High Elves. I just think Divash would understand the whole game mechanics better if she had an army that was both versatile and regimented.


Now for Dark Phoenix

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Khorne, an army of heavily armored, unstoppable killing machines on horseback which fight along side demons to destroy all challengers with big angry swords. Yeah sounds like DarkPhoenix.

heart Luff you DP.

Oh and another easy one... Behatzlacha-S gets to play greenskins.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Why? because Behatzlacha has a tendency to be silly, and believe it or not the greenskin army, which is comprised mostly of orcs and goblins is an excessively silly army, Especially the goblins. The picture shows a goblin fanatic, who swings a heavy ball around and around and, being chained to the ball... flies into the enemy ranks. Then he keeps spinning the ball and goes off in random directions, including his own troops. Sounds like something Behatzlacha would think of.

And finally Dis Dommu, for him, I give him the Empire

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

The empire is the most versatile of all armies in Warhammer, you can go heavy artillery, you can go heavy cavalry, you can use infantry with spears, swords, bows, crossbows, even muskets. Dis Dommu himself tends to be a jack of all trades. He has his own style to him that is unique, yet he's just one of many. For him, being so versatile, he gets Empire.

Queen Tomo has to be Slaanesh, another chaos army of heavy armored troops and demons. Why Slaanesh? well the reason is quite simple.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

They wear pastels colors. Pink, purple and teal. I always think that Queen Tomo appreciates things painted up like Easter eggs, so just from the color scheme, she gets to be Slaanesh.

Princess Tadakichi would also play a chaos army, the allied contingent of Slaanesh, which falls under the same pastel color schemes but more sky blue and lavender than teal and pink. Can you say Tzeentch?

User Image

Both Slaanesh and Tzeentch have their own qualities to them, yet they are both friends and competitors with eachother, which is why Tomo and Tadakichi get them.

I'm not sure why I keep giving the girls the Chaos armies, however I think a guy has to take Nurgle simply because Nurgle is the "Great Unclean One."

DanskiWolf has a bit of Russian Heritage with him, I think he would appreciate the Kislev, not to mention there's a month on the Hebrew Calendar which has the same name.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Nothing says Made in Russia like Bear Cavalry.

ffdarkangel has to be the Lizardmen of Lustria, she's a Florida gal and has stated she doesn't like cold weather. I see her happy in a warm jungle environment.

GO GATORS!

Awesome Uchiha Sasuke was tough to pick, but seeing that she's dark and brooding it was either Vampires or Dark Elves.

She picked vampires.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

MMmmm Gothic Horror, for the win. Yeah I think Awesome Uchiha Sasuke wouldn't mind terribly commanding an army of zombies and skeletons with a vampire lord as her general.

Elisheva was a tough one to pick, but I think that she is best represented by the Ogre Kingdoms.

Elisheva has that sort of, in your face personality. Reminding us all about Shabbas, wishing us all holiday blessings. Yet she appreciates her own sense of wierdness which makes her unique. She may not be the most active of all members, but she makes her presence known.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

B"H!

Also Orges are the quintessential allied force to several armies in the Warhammer World. Greenskins, Empire, Chaos, over half the armies can side with the Ogres, and lets face it, who wants to go after a group who has in their ranks an 8 foot tall musclebound scary looking ogre. Think Shrek.

rainy day blues is the next one for the great analogy thread. I'm giving her the dark elves.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

rainy day blues is clearly having a problem with her shul. She's not liking the congregation in regards to Rosh Hashonna and Yom Kippor, she clearly is looking for something more, something different, something that is not in the community she is in now. In short she's on the verge of rebellion and separatism. Much like the rebellious nature of the Dark Elves, who left the High Elves to pursue their own way, right or wrong.

Bear cavalry? SWEEEEEEEEEET! xd

This is COOL. I think you really nailed us, Neuf! I can't see the picture for my High Elves, but I can picture them in my head, looking very correct and proper, a bit haughty... something like the 'good' version, or at least the not-evil version, of... oh, Lucius Malfoy, I think, as portrayed by Jason Isaacs (who was also one of the main elves in the LotR movies).

Divash
I can't see the picture for my High Elves, but I can picture them in my head, looking very correct and proper, a bit haughty... .


Here this will help...

The picture shows a line of spear men followed by a line of archers.

The spear men are wearing scale mail haubreks, like long dresses of armor, a shining silver, over white and blue robes, conical helmets adorn their narrow blond heads, the shields are white, with a golden 12 pointed star in the center. They proudly display a blue banner at the front of their ranks.

Behind them are the archers, not as heavily armored as the spear men. They wear long white robes and vests, with puffy blue sleeves coming down their arms with a matching blue sash around their waist. They wear not helmets but simple head dresses, each adorned with a gem or a large blue feather.

So... who wants to describe this picture of a High Elf Dragon Lord to Divash?

Also... I didn't paint any of the above models... I WISH I could paint that good, However I have my own style, but it lacks the textured dry brushing and attention to detail that the museum quality pieces above seem to have. (Except for the skaven and the goblin, that's more my style)

Ooh, the pictures are working now, and they look awesome! I love what you picked for me! smile

Added another to the main list... which raises the question.

So is anyone displeased with the selections made?

Unfortunately, EA left out the only two armies I was interested in playing in an online environment.

Good job though, they were excellent comparisons!
