I keep getting bitten by the Warhammer Fantasy bug, and right now I'm contemplating going with High Elves. I like the aesthetics of the army, I'm intrigued by the always-strike-first elite style of army, and having them in the starter set doesn't hurt either. A local store also still has one of last year's Christmas bundles on the shelf, and it's very very tempting to grab it and buff up the force.
So, is that a good place to start? Should I throw in a battalion box to fill in some of the other core units?
