The Sidhe Court Project LogNo More 3rd edition Clone Archers (yes, i'm old
), and mismatched bases for me. I am overhauling and converting an army I want to use in a series of local tournaments (from 2000 to 2500 Points). So to keep me going I’m going to post a project log. Comments, inspiration, and motivational help all welcomed from my fellow gladers!
The Sidhe race is part of the irish/scotish mythology and generally aligns pretty well with the GW athel loren Mythos. Here are some links:

http://celticsociety.freeservers.com/sidhe.htmlThis is just a nice dictionary I raid for names:
http://www.efairies.com/fairy_lore.htmMy Army theme is a minor realm within Athel Loren ruled by a Forest Spirit King and Queen. They rule independently but are still part of the Wood elf community (showing fealty to Orion and Ariel of Course).
I have several Variants of this list with the lord choice varying from an archmage, high born, or ancient. The main difference between most of them is how gutsy I feel about magic defense.
Here is my status- I will Update this as I go.
