Thanks guys, most kind.

Hopefully they'll restock him soon! I'm not sure they were expecting this level of interest.

Lovely paintwork; must admit I’m curious about this range AND the Oathmark elves

Part of me sees these as the more sinister of the two ranges though I’ve little to base that on!

Last time I looked there were a couple of Sting Kings available on ebay UK.

The Lucid Eye range is probably my favourite range of miniatures I always forget about. Quite a few of like to buy but have absolutely no use for (but why wouldn't I need an Aleister  Crowley?)

Excellent paint job, too!

Next for this range is Vashel Goldenhand. I wanted to keep his armour nice and dull so it looked archaic and the gold hand would stand out better.







And, given the serendipitous timing, here's the obligatory snowy shot in the back garden.

Gorgeous  :-*.
Didn't know they were still around, as they've disappeared from the Warlord site...

Lovely brushwork.
The dark armour looks great.

That snow looks pretty realistic too!

The dark armour is very clever.  The highlights in the skin and hair really add interest without making the contract between the dark and light too extreme.

Beautiful. You can buy them from Arcane Scenery and Models.

Great shot in the snow too. Lovely idea  :)

Lucid Eye make some terrific miniatures. I love these elves. I'd love to know more about the background for the nordic style elves. I think their armor design is really fantastic, with enough novelty to feel fresh and rooted enough in history to feel plausible.

Cubs, any chance you could post some scale shots of the elves you've painted for Lucid Eye? I just want to know where they will fit in my collection.

Very nice figures beautifully painted but not too sure on the horned helmets

I ain't got 'em, sorry! But they're big fellas, designed to be heroes from legend at 35mm to the eye. Next to a 'normal' 28mm model they'd probably look like they were 7-8ft tall.

OK that second one is really nice I wasn't sold on the first one (though the paint job was great) but this mini is really nice.
