I just picked up some of the Copplestone ones and based them, then collected others I had in other boxes together and thought about when and where I could fit them into the queue. I've always been a fan, and they were released just as I was getting into miniatures. They fit the bill perfectly based on the requirements you shared so far! They are some of the first figures in the Fantasy Warriors range that Copplestone did, and even within the wood elf range itself you can see he gets less chunky as he goes. The high elves are much thinner by comparison, not just the weapons but the heads and everything. But by the time the high elves were released Grenadier had lost it's previously amazing casting talents (it was really a nose dive) and the high elves lose so much thickness in the casting that the chunkiness of the wood elves is preferable, IMO. The lead wood elves castings I was basing the other day are pretty good. I haven't got Mirliton ones to compare to, though. Time and time again I shake my head at companies failing to enforce with their sculptors that they need to add X thickness along the casting axis. Why is this so hard that 40 years on from 1980, when the casting art was fairly mature, it still happens today?
