I am refurbishing some very old Warhammer figures that once upon a time were used when our children played WHFB. They are destined for our different fantasy setting.
I am doing up some High Elf females of the "Maiden Guard". painted in the 1990s by our daughter. The "green" unit seems complete:

But over the years in a box the "blue" unit seems have lost its leader and maybe 2 figures.

I can do without the spearmaidens but not a leader. I have looked in internet and the officer seems to go for an impossibly huge price.
So please, does anyone know of a physical or 3D print file for a suitable officer for the "Blues"?

Perhaps Crocodile Games?
Amazons

Bad Squiddo Games, perhaps.
Lots of Females in lots of different gear, including Amazons.

Thanks, so far the Wargods one looks like it fits the style best. Having difficulty finding one in UK.
Found this one that looks a decent fit for style though I'm not keen on the cluttered base. But a scalpel shoud sort that!

Alternately, you could add ‘unit fillers’ - decorative columns, or animals - instead of spear maidens.
There is this 3D print elf maiden guard:

The 3D print looks interesting. Thanks.

The faces would look like bronze masks or armour if painted such.

Possibly worth a look is there by Forlorn Hope: https://forlornhopegames.co.uk/category/fantasy-warriors/wood_elves?page=2
Not sure who made them originally but I think they are 80s-early 90s. I discovered their existence for the first time yesterday!

Old Grenadier minis, mostly sculpted by Mark Copplestone. All blokes though, far as I can see, not sure if that works for Maiden Guard...
What about the Foundry/Warmonger nymphs?

Not exactly cheap, but if you only need a couple...

What about designing your own miniature?
I'm guessing not all DIY is free, but you'd save on shipping costs, at least.
Search on "design your own miniatures .stl". I found Hero Forge, and a few other companies.
fwiw, I searched on "whfb High Elf females Maiden Guard" .stl" and found this one, though not as good as what you found. Free download?
Could you really do a remix on the file and further customize it? Or mebbe contact the designer?

I have some of these from years ago lurking in a tray of figures. I will seach the Amazons out.
Also thanks for the nymphs suggestion - I have some of them too!
The Reaper ones look useful too.
Thanks for all the suggestions

Kallistra used to do a nice range of 28mm fantasy figures. The Elves looked very similar to these if I remember correctly. Only the Pygmys are on their website , but I have called them before and they have been able to supply figures from their old ranges.

A search of my lead/plastic mountain yielded an elf in metal:

In plastic a human(?) or elf(?)

Neither have quite the look of the others.
