My kingdom for an elf :*(

To those of you who didn't know the facts, I shall fill you in.

I decided that I wanted a serious tourney fantasy army, one which is able to win both on general scores and painting scores. Now my level of painting sucks at best and I am currently playing Dwarfs, not exactly a power house. So I hop on ebay and pick up a studio painted High Elf lot for 3420 Yuan... ~$500USD. Sweet deal, 4 charriots 2 dragons, pheonix guard, eagles, etc... Yeah that was in late January, now a minute away from march and the tournament I'm in - I'm fucked at best. I opened a paypal claim vs. the makers of communist goods in china but at this time I have no 'real' army. I could slap together some Dwarf list of suck... NO! I will not, I want to fucking move! My love for Dwarfs has been replaced with hatred towards their tiny legs and their crotch height stature! I could do Ogres, but I want to win a game or 2. So, out roll the unpainted Empire. Fuck I hate stupid circumstances of shit. Anyway, my 1k Empire isn't as solid as my high elfs would be but here's a sneak peak just in case I need to roll it out:

Heroes:
Cap'n - Pegasus, Pistol, Full Plate, Shield, Lance, Ring of Burning Head
War Prst - Barbed Horse, Heavy Armor, Shield Great Weapon, Icon of Mag

Core:
Knights x5
Kinghts x5

Special:
Pistoliers x5
Pistoliers x5

Rare:
Steam Tank

Yes a steam tank at 1k, simply because the 300 points it eats up will buy me time to assemble and prime other things that I need for the army.

Still, if it comes, my 1k High Elf list (I hope you come in!)

Hero:
Dragon Mage, Guard Phnx, Silver Wand

Core:
Archers x10

Special:
Dragon Prince x5
Dragon Prince x5
Tir Charriot
Tir Charriot


Cries, so abusive, just need the Made in China people mail it... :*(
