This page was just an excuse to draw Elfin, really. As you may have noticed, he’s really handsome. So, other than that, it… doesn’t do anything. Sorry. I meant it to introduce the units, and give Teraluin some more character, but in the end it was pretty useless… oh wait, Falamir sees something. That’s really important! Remember that! Except then there’s a rather pointless cut to the blue-eyed commander and Falamir’s helmet changes design between panels. Oh, whatever.

I think this may have been the first battle my spearmen took part in.

Check back tomorrow to see if Falamir’s helmet changes anymore! Also to see what he saw, if anything!

 This was a true scenario, up to a point… I’m not sure what the original circumstances were, but I do remember quite clearly that my mage (here given the name Linyo which means ‘pool’, and whom I do not have a model that resembles these images to represent him – I just drew a generic mage for the comic. I don’t even remember which model I used. It was three years ago, okay?) really really wanted that Jewel of the Dusk, which is only 15 points and gives him an extra power die to cast spells with. The Starwood Staff, on the other hand, gives him +1 to the result of his roll, though if he rolls double 1s the spell still backfires. I got really lazy on the second panel, but I spent all my creativity making the silly chibi unhappy Linyo and the resigned Teraluin.

Flairé: Teraluin looks like me, just blonde and blue eyed.

Good call. There might actually be a reason for that.

Flairé: Really? Besides the fact that I’m the basic reference for your basic male elf?

No, that would be it.

Check back tomorrow to see if these goofy guys ever get underway and out to that battlefield!

Warhammer comic page 1

 This is a short (10-page) comic I drew based on a Warhammer battle between my High Elves and my brother’s Bretonnians. The guy on the right is my famed “Blue-eyed Commander”, here given the name Teraluin, which means “Straight-blue”. The guy on the left is his “Green-eyed Second”, here given the name Elehtyar, meaning “Star-spearman”. These are not ‘canon’ names, just names I gave to them for the sake of them being able to speak to each other normally. I drew these two frames on separate pieces of paper, so as to get greater detail. Which I didn’t because I was lazy. But they did come out slightly better than if I had done it all on one piece of paper. I was intending to colour the backgrounds. Tuesday night I just scanned them all and then yesterday I pasted them together and added text. I don’t have Photoshop on my laptop, so getting it not to look horribly shoddy was a bit of a challenge. Next, y’know, I need Photoshop and an art tablet and then I’ll be unstoppable.

Check back tomorrow for the continuation of this thrilling set-up! : P
