LPL13 Round 7: Wild Elves vs Sleeman is Here

Nice color pallet on the elves. Love the shields and their patterns!

[Ogrob]

Love the kitbash on the elves as well!

[Captain Blood]

Wonderful freehand and subtle colouring on the elves. Very appealing figures too - what make are they? I'm actually quite tempted. They just look so beautifully evil

[Swordisdrawn]

Very smart elves. Well done

[khartoum2]

Those elves are exquisite

Not sure who Sleeman is but really nice tribesman

[McMordain]

Thanks for the praise 
I'm not really satisfied with the freehand, but it will due for now. I will repaint the standard sometime in the future though. The base color choice was bad, and I had to scrap the freehand on the other side. Doing freehand on contrast paint is a bad idea, it is impossible to correct mistakes...

Ogrob hit the mark, they are kitbashed from various GW kits. The bodies are Kairic acolytes, the heads and weapons come from the Tree-revenant box. The Spite-revenant heads fit on the bodies with minimal cutting. The shoulder pads and arm guards come from the Kurnoth hunters. I used the smallest ones. The flag was in my bits box, I think it comes from the Dark elf cold one knights and the horn belonged to a beastmen. The shield in the middle is a Stormcast one, with the hammer scrapped of. The other two is a resin cast, I got them from a friend, I don't know the maker.
The whole thing were inspired by Duncan's Solakain Spearmen video on Warhammer tv.
I love kitbashing and converting and these were really fun to make.

"Major-general Sir William Henry Sleeman KCB was a British soldier and administrator in British India. He is best known for his work from the 1830s in suppressing the organized criminal gangs known as Thuggee"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Sleeman

I am sure no armed Thuggee ever came close to Sir Sleeman as the Pulp versions I'm painting probably didn't exist. But why let history get in the way of a good story?

Proper feral looking scary elves (elves absolutely should be feral, fey, and terrifying!) vs my favourite sculpts from my favourite sculptor!

Where is the Both button?

You definitely have a soft spot for Thugee figures.  Your very nicely painted figures inspired me to buy the range back when they were first released. It took me a bit longer to get pain on them than I intended.     Thanks to LPL though I finally finished them!

I love those elves McMrodian 
Very unique and yet working scheme


Those guys give me impression of the situation Indiana Jones would face Syrinx0
 

BTW i love your under cloth. It looks great with the building and have discreet skullish impression- would work for 40K too :

[syrinx0]

I love Murch's pulp figure line.  Easy to paint and doesn't require the kit bashing creativity and talent McMordian showed with the elves.   

The under cloth is a semi-sticky soft rubber shelf liner I picked up at a DIY store in the US (lowes). I purchased an extra roll to line the RUB I use for miniature storage.  This portion has joined the terrain supplies.
