An excellent set of reports and post game analysis. Your army seemed better painted than anything I can do at the moment! It does seem a shame that if someone pays for a bought pro-painted army then they can score so much higher on the overall rankings. You got top marks for sportsmanship and won 5 out of 6 battles - that tells me all I need to know about you as a player and person. Keep this good work up and good luck for next time.
While you may not have scored as high as you would have liked in painting, I thought that the colour scheme you chose, though simple, was striking and really stayed true to the High Elves. Good of you to accomplish this without using blue.
Well I think that you can get over the paint score problem pretty easily. Movement trays are easy and cheap to build, banners are easy to repaint and make a bit livelier, conversions are harder but a centre piece can be done as well.
I think painting score shouldn't really effect the tournament. Sure, having a shitpainted army facing you isn't "fun" and just drag down the feeling. But I felt they just nitpicked at you =/
