10mm Fantasy Armies for Kings of War - Various (Elves)

[fred]

We are gaining more converts!! <<evil cackle>>

Welcome to the world of 10mm - were armies are what you paint, not single figures!!

As to basing - I've not tried leaving gaps for the figures, it should work, but it always seems hard to get the last few gaps done.

@ Bren:

Many thanks, glad you like them. I think you should definitely dig out your 10mm Elves and start a thread here - this scale is a lot of fun!

@ fred:

I've been trying a few things out in terms getting models on bases neatly, and I've had a few ideas for different sorts of units; I guess I'll see how well I thought them through when it comes to painting them though. If I can get models primed this week (i.e., wet/humid weather permitting), I should have some more to show very soon - I'm really champing at the bit to get stuck in with the next unit.

In other 10mm fantasy news, also received some Eureka models from Fighting 15s here in the UK today (ordered on bank holiday Monday, here on Wednesday the same week - very impressive!  ).

So, reviewing my little haul today, it looks like there are going to be some more woodland creatures in this elf army. I got a pack of treemen to use as Forest Herders, and they are giant-sized... Getting them onto a 20mm base will be tough!  

I also got dome dryads, dogs, and a "Forest Hunter" who is large infantry, and they look so cool that they may just jump the painting queue. Finally, I got some elves with two-handed weapons, and I'm delighted with how well they scale against the Pendraken and Kallistra stuff.

The forest hunter is a cool figure, I've not seen him before. I used the Kallistra freemen, and they are very big!

The other Eureaka figures are great too. I've used the dryads, dogs and some splintered light tree spirits to make sylvan kin units.
