Oathmark elves revealed! Plastics pics p. 6!

[MattW]

Noticed the sculptor posted this on the Oathmark page, though there’s been no official word either way.

These will be some very tasty elves.

[Ogrob]

Ooh, I do like that. Looks just about perfect.

[3 fingers]

Oh I like those,never use them but that's never stopped me before

[majorsmith]

Never really done elves but these might sway me

[Quendil]

I like it apart from the sword which looks too big

[Coenus Scaldingus]

Not sure of the oval plate, but the rest is certainly promising. Wonder how uniform they'll be in terms of shields and helmets...

Would seem to be about as close a rip off of the GW style as you can get.  I think it is pretty poor and rather than trying to do something new it is just another artless rehash of what is already available.

Too bulky, lacks finesse and elegance, sword is too big and a really dreadful attempt at "chainmail". Looks like he has wrapped himself in an offcut of curtain material:

The breastplate does seem a bit askew but as I've been playing a lot of skyrim and have square eyes that may just be me. He's going to have to switch that shield onto his back in a hurry if that is a hand and a half sword though.

There's a nice hint of the old Ral Partha elves there. So I'll say yes, I like it.

[Severian]

Hmm. Not really convinced by this, I'm afraid.

The oval breastplate is a bit odd, and that sword is too broad (and probably also too big), I'd say. The helmet and shield are too medieval (well, pointy, anyway) for how I imagine elves. Also the whole figure is somehow flared rather than upright, if that makes sense: just too bulky for my taste.

The old Ral Partha elves have always been my favourites, though they're very small by today's standards, but there's an elegance about them that I'm not really getting here.

But then again this is just one figure, and if this is going to be part of a plastic set then who knows what else might be included. And there's nothing wrong with it, just doesn't quite fit my imaginings...

[nic-e]

Paint does help.



I don't hate them but I'm not wowed.

[Sir_Theo]

I don't mind it. Quite old school looking. Not as good as the Dwarves or the Goblins.

[Johnno]

Think it looks pretty good, albeit the sword and shield look too "human" for me.

This range is looking good.

[Sir_Theo]

The elves also look like they may fit ok with the old Grenadier fantasy warriors High elves.

[westwaller]

That's not a bad Elf, although I agree the sword is a bit hefty. That Goblin though is really good. I would like to see more!! The Dwarves are good too but its the Goblinses that we wants...yes precious 'nasty' goblinses.

[Severian]

Yes, certainly better when painted - and there's more detail (e.g. on the scabbard, and the edges of the mail skirts) that helps too. But still not quite there...

The goblin on the other hand is excellent (and definitely not green).
