Grey Elves Faction

This is the offical thread for my new Grey Elves faction. I have been working on this faction for a while and will hopefully be able to post a playable version in the next few weeks. This plan is for the faction to contain 5 buildings, 9 units and a couple of upgrades, making it rather small by magitech standards. Heres a couple of pics of units:

Looks cool! How about the Undead faction, though?

Looks cool! Judging by the clothes and the siege weapon looks like they will have some Gothic influences in their structure design?

Thanks for the support guys  :thumbup:

@ultifd: The undead faction could use a few tweaks and polish but I plan to merge Grey Elves with Undead and Dwarves to create a Fantasy Pack similar to the Megapack and do a clean-up of all factions at that point.

@Hagekura: Basically the idea behind the Grey Elves is that they were founded by a group of ultra religious elves (monk-like hermits) who went into the mountains. After a while other elves began to follow and small communities formed. The Grey Elves are reclusive and like to keep themselves to themselves in the mountains unless threatened. They live a pretty sparse and semi-nomadic lifestyle and shun the undisciplined pagentry of the "main" elves.

I'm not a huge creator of background fluff for my mods, but that was the basic idea i had in my head when i started creating the faction.

@Will: Thats an awesome idea! I built the unit as a standard hand-cranked repeating arrow firer, but after hearing your idea it would be cool to have the unit as a kind of "death's organ". It fits perfectly with the dark and sombre feel of the faction. Having the weapon play a tune of sacrificial death to the gods whilst making a battle sacrafice of the enemy  :wicked:
