That is a lot of Elves!

Whatever you have to spare, please let me know.
There could well be some stuff in there that would fit the bill.

 Urm, no.
I have to confess I've just found the odd plastic lotr figure I'd painted and forgot about.
Oh alright it might be a few more.
Right before you ask Matt it might actually be enough for a game(both sides)There may or may not also be enough plastic on sprue's to fill a carrier bag,if you don't try and put in the forty or so metal lotr figures that were possibley in the cupboard as well.Nor mention the half painted Arthurian unit that wasn't wedged in amongst the lotr buildings.
 I never made.
I'm not sure , I should carry on looking.I just spent the York show telling everyone I couldn't remember the last time I did any painting just for me.
Turns out I was bang on, lol
I can confess this on the forum because  no one knows.what I look like lol

Would be worth checking whiteknights sea elves too they have a dark elf look to them

Ooh... I'm looking forward to seeing how this project progresses. Melniboneans are a bit of an obsession of mine and I've also been using the WFB 3rd edition High Elf army list as a basis. I've got an almost pure Melnibonean army with a handful of High Elf characters and the Dragon Masters dragon thrown in for good measure (all in the lead pile of course so nothing painted). I've got a few additional High/Wood Elf bits I could add if need be but I like the idea of keeping it as Melnibonean as possible. Once I've stripped the last of the models I plan to lay it all out and post pics of my insanity.  ;D

Mason: The look of those old wood elves fits pulp fantasy well, I think. Tall boots, open tunics, big big hair... :)

Abdul: Blimey those Druillet pieces are impressive. Ditto the minifigs dragons - I don't think I've seen those before.

Lowtardog: Second that! White Knight's stuff isn't a million miles away.

I know about your 'obsession' as your thread on the Oldhammer forum came up when I was searching for info.
Most impressive.

I also checked out the Melniboneans in your gallery, very inspirational.

I did consider going for an all Melnibonean force, but I know what I am like....it would take forever to get all the archers needed so I opted for a halfway solution, Melnibs as elite Archers and Skarlocs for the merchant companies.
If I had taken too long to start I would just get distracted by another shiny thing instead... ;)




Would be worth checking whiteknights sea elves too they have a dark elf look to them

If I expand this to include a Naval force I will use WK's Elves as they are great.
 :D

On to it!

Not to derail or steal the thread,
I am a long time fan of Elric and oldhammer.
I would love to start a small project. I have  some celtos, Gw, chronopia somewhere.
lots of info for all the young kingdoms colors, but what colors are the Melnibones armor?
I can't seem to find anything.
