Tolkien elf cavalry conversions - painted 13.1.20
« on: January 04, 2020, 08:06:06 PM »
As part of the ongoing Tolkien First Age project, I’m now back working on cavalry.  Here are a few workbench shots.  These are mostly Oathmark elves from the waist up, grafted on to various other plastic cavalry (Conquest knights and Gripping Beast Arab cavalry amongst others). Hoping to get some paint on these soon.

These look great! Can't wait to see them painted!

Where'd you get the little feathers on the horses' heads from?

Cheers. Oathmark elves are the source of the feathers too.  You get about five per sprue.  Brilliant resource to elf up a few horses.

Nice work! I see a sneaky Perry miniatures WOTR trumpet in the mix too!

Good spot!  I just had a command sprue kicking around... :)

Thank you.  It’s not brilliant close up but I hope it looks elven!

Beautiful work, absolutely brilliant kitbashing and sculpting in particular.
