Title: Tolkien's Elves
Post by: Hurin on 27 August 2015, 05:08:56 PM

This is my last chance at painting before returning to college for the year, so I thought I'd work on something new and interesting to me, 28mm Elves by GW.
I really love these figures, and am happy with how they turned out!
Thanks  :D

Are these the new new Wood Elves? They've turned out really nice. Quite like your colour scheme!

I really like these, both as models and how you have painted them :D well done matey.

Thank you all for the feedback :)
FramFramson: that's right. I think they're sold as "Mirkwood Rangers" and are modeled after the spider fighters in The Hobbit movie. I decided to be more generic and go for a little less foresty scheme than in the references though.
