Magpies strike again

I went to Hay on Wye the other day. For those who don't know this is a town on the Welsh Borders which is famous for it's second hand and classical bookshops. While I was there I had an impulse buy of a book called Battles of Tolkein. This was a collection of all the big battles from all of his works. It is nicely illustrated and full of ideas for scenarios.
Before I realised I had bought several units of classic GW elves. Now I already have a few units, but this will pad out my forces. I may be able to do some of the big elves vs Orcs battles using the 3rd edition WHFB rules.
This has mucked up my painting plans so I might not get as much done before the Fat man comes as I had hoped.
