I would say the term witch implies female.
but i am still advocating a drow themed team, (d&d fluff appearance) It fits perfectly with predominately/all female or mixed gender and there are plenty of pieces of art around the place with ideas for the scantily clad and heavy armour.
Maybe it is just me, but drow have always been my favourite Dark Elves. I always paint dark elves drow colours even GW ones. We already have a GW fluff team from GW, albeit I know it can be improved upon and there are already plenty of 'sexy' all female teams, e.g shadowforge's wicked elves. A good drow team would be a mix of both.. more females than normal and appropriate use of themed evil spider/web armour so it would work as just a normal GW dark elf too.

Re: GREEBO : Dark Elf concept, we need your advices!
So +1! I've been looking for a drow-ish Dark Elf team for years now. And I think a well-sculpted Dark Elf team that is not in some way cheesy or goofy or salacious (well, not too salaciousnecrosis wrote:but i am still advocating a drow themed team, (d&d fluff appearance) It fits perfectly with predominately/all female or mixed gender and there are plenty of pieces of art around the place with ideas for the scantily clad and heavy armour.

) would be bought by a whole lot of players even if they don't know or care about d&d drow because there is no such team out there at the moment.This thread and all the response to it definetly shows that there is a high demand for a decent DE team.

Pardon me for being clueless, but what do you guys mean exactly when discussing "drow" themes? How is it different from what's out there now?

Re: GREEBO : Dark Elf concept, we need your advices!
Drow is the term used to refer to dark elves used in Dungeons and Dragons since the late 70s. Generally speaking in DnD they live in the Underdark, have black/dark grey skin and pale hair. They worship the spider demon goddess called Lloth and their society is matriarchal, primarily run by Lloth Priestesses, with males having a lower class or even in some cases being slaves. Since first being introduced they have appeared in many DnD novels and the like. By drow themed i mean use of spider emblems and things on their armour.Lunchab1es wrote:Pardon me for being clueless, but what do you guys mean exactly when discussing "drow" themes?

Re: GREEBO : Dark Elf concept, we need your advices!
I think the buzz word i want to see in this team is 'sinister' the dark elves aren't nice. I want a team that shows this, not another leather and whips team. Also not really interested in a female only team, as mentioned elswhere it'll make it harder to differenciate between witches and other positions. also no boobs out and thongs, i'm a 31 year old male if i wan't to see boobs i won't be digging out a 28mm figurine to get my fix! I wan't something sleek, and sinister, with a nice dynamic look (this does not mean cartwheeling or handstanding)
anyways just my 2p's worth.

Try to make the chests less obvious without doing away with them completely.
Something like the chest of this woman:

+1 on the mixed gender team, just stay away from the Shadowforge approach to female characters, make them look evil and able to inflict great amounts of pain.
