Thank you for sharing that! I don't have PTSD, just an unusual amount of stress lately.

I figured. I was discussing this with a friend a couple of weeks ago - and how both of us like painting to de-stress. So it's definitely a thing.

Incredible free hand! I am envious of your skill. I struggle with simple geometric shapes!  lol

Stunning free-hand lobster Sir! It's been too long since I last looked at the Marienburg vs the livingly challenged thread. I see you've been pretty busy in the interim. Will the elf unit all get similar nautical themed heraldry?  :-*

They will be a mix of typical elven designs, nautical/aquatic, and geometric designs. I don't plan on painting them all free hand, so I'm still looking for more of the embossed elven shields from GW.




These last few sea elves added to the 28 I painted in the OWAC earlier this year will allow me to split them into two regiments of 16 if I want to. I just need to paint the banners (and shields, as mentioned above)...

Well they are looking superb. Thanks for sharing. I have recently been looking out my old 90s era high elves and this is great inspiration to push me on with the repainting. I don't think I have any spare embossed shields unfortunately but will double check the bitz-box and let you know if I find anything.

That is a very cool banner! The jellyfish is a motif i’ve never seen on heraldry before, but it fits and, oddly, gives me a 3rd Edition- Oldhammer vibe.

Finished the last details and base on the happy-go-lucky sea elf prince who gave up his claim to the throne to his equally well meaning cousin, then sailed the seas of fate, promoting peace, carrying with him the healing boon of the white sword...

Yes. He is The Khorc.

 lol

I've had a half-baked attempt at converting a Bloodthirster into something resembling one of my favorite Dragon Magazine covers (#119) sitting around for years. So the Former-'thirster no longer needed an axe.

Oh, I have a copy of that miniature. Can't remember who the company was but it was sculpted by Paul Meuler. The company has since gone defunct though and I don't know who has the rights. I may have a pic here of him painted up.

Found the link, Go all the way down the bottom of the page and start scrolling up. Look for Koscheii.

Beautiful work! Love it. Also like the seashell scenery you snuck into the background there as well.

I only skimmed through the last few pages but this is a lovely thread. I especially like the high elves. The lobster shield is fantastic!

I always felt Sea Elves never really got a fair crack of the whip with Warhammer. These guys are great.

After painting my pitifuly few Marauder sea elves, I've had a few thoughts about trying to do a small fan/hobbyist-run project (KS?) to do a small set of retro sea elves to match, since I really wish the range was a little larger and they weren't so difficult to get. I know there have been other small scale productions of retro inspired figures, so it may be worth a shot. I'd just need to work out a plan & funding...
