Who was it who released some Elvis elves?  I can picture them, but can't recall the company.

Jesus H. Christ on a crutch... It's a German company, right? Well, Elvis must have left his legacy behind during his stint in the military.

The miniatures are there to be painted. You hardly need my permission. :-)

I altered between '3000 miles to Graceland' and a DVD with Elvis #1 hits. Elvis on Hawaii was a absolute favorite. His late scene costumes are quite Warhammerish.

I knew there was a reason I could feel the life being sucked out of me when she's on the radio!   :wink:

Anyway...

Fantastic entry Hammershield.  Especially the work you did on the show girls.  VERY VERY creative!

Igor Karpov... if THAT name does not make you flinch, I dunno...  :wink:

Why haven't I heard of this company before? Some of their stuff is really interesting...

Wow Hammershield, the Elvi and showgirls are very nice. I would love to see the whole group used in a game report sometime.

Fantastic! Reminds me of a friend who did a 40K space marine chapter "The Sons of Elvis". All the bare-headed models had green stuff pompadours and the army banner was a giant black velvet Elvis painting.

Even he never thought of adding showgirls for sisters of battle though!

Nice work guys. Real tough this one I must admit, however, Peder has stolen the limelight here 8)

Peder do you actually have an adventure with these figures?
Best wishes,
