Looking for the archetypal Elf Ranger

My God, it's full of chin!

Ithandir gets my vote, as well as Sylvanus with 2 swords from Gamezone.

For archer, Scarloc's Wood Elf Archers are pretty sweet. My favorite is the dude with the eye patch.

Again, teeny-weeny in comparison with the bloated figures of today...

My God, it's full of chin!  

And then some!  

Or would that be Chin some?

Gracias,

No pictures to post at the moment, but I have made a couple of nice male elf conversions using a mix of GW's new plastic corsairs and the plastic wood elf bits.  I've done two that way - firing a longbow, with sword and bow, and with sword and axe-thinige.  I used heads with the lower faces covered by scarves, but not all of the wood elf heads have masks or scarves.

I have also made some conversions of female elves using plastic Wood Elf and 40k Dark Eldar wytch bits.  They are the tallest members of this warband (the next Mordheim warband I am running - shadow elves), in part because the wytch-elf bodies are taller than the fantasy elf plastics... but it goes well with all of that black leather, if you ask me.  If you go with converting from plastic elf kits, you can assemble something that fits the weapons and armor combinations you have in mind.

This one from red box could fit the bill (it's the one on the right. bow and quiver are on the back.)

Beautiful job on those figures, generulpoleaxe!

He is looking for something a little bigger than the Red Box figures, though.

Here are a couple from Darksword I like.

I'd love to see pictures of those conversions, just to see how they look. But if you don't have a camera, it's no big deal.

In the meantime, I think I'm going to go with Ithandir and see if I can add a bow and/or a little gear (Anybody know a store with a decent price? Looking at a couple places where he's about $18 USD, plus $2-4 shipping to Canada).

It's a really nice mini, so in the worst case scanerio, I'm sure I can use it for another character.
