Well, one elf at the moment. Not much of an empire but it's a start. Got a handful of Alternative Armies Crystal Elf Empire figures recently and this is the first one painted up. He's a dragoon and I have another two to do before moving onto some garde and a spell casting duo. Only took me 27 years to get around to getting some of these models!

OMG I've seen those on their site and thought they looked a bit Meh.. but with a paint job like that it looks like a superb mini can't wait to see to see more of them painted.

There are some really nice models in the range and I don't think the pics always do them justice. I did my own ham fisted review of the models I got over on my blog. The pics might show them in a better light.

Got a couple more elves done. Two more dragoons including an officer.

Loved doing these and time to move onto some additional characters and troop types.

Very cool!

Stunning work as usual, sir.

I am really starting to consider these fellas as a basis for some conversions for a retro-sci-fi faction.
Thanks!

Do it!

If you look under AA's Flintloque Elves of Armorica range there's a pack of Grenadiers of the Garde I think they're called. They're armed with muskets and were originally from this range before being absorbed into Flintloque. Might be useful to you.

Lovely work once more, the Crystal Elves are super figures and you are doing them proud!

Slow going but I've added another painted elf to the warband. A swordsman or duellist with an Elric inspired paint job.

Magnificent!

OUTSTANDING! The Elvin Lads, especially the Albino Duelist, are BEAUTIFULLY painted creations. VERY WELL DONE!

I thought they bore a resemblance to French Dragoons, but the Retro SciFi vibe is strong as well...definite potential here.
