I know under AoS it is aelf...

Anyway, I would like to convert the characters from the new Gotrek novels.
I got the BIG Slayer himself and a solid stand-in for Trachos - Lord-Ordinator of the Celestial Vindicators:

But I am struggeling with a nice mini for Maleneth Witchblade:
Gotrek's new travelling companion for his Mortal Realms adventures. A former Witch Aelf, she joined the Order of Azyr for protection after killing her own mistress (whose soul is now contained in a vial of blood around her neck). She was sent on a mission to steal the Master Rune from a Fyreslayer lodge, and after Gotrek lodged it in his body to prevent it from falling into the hands of a Chaos arny she sees it as her duty to follow him around and hopefully either badger him into visiting the Order so the rune can be studied or take it from his body once he dies in battle. She is very much aware that both of these are rather unlikely knowing Gotrek's history.
Gotrek obviously dislikes her for being a filthy dark elf, and she dislikes him for making her mission such a hassle, though their shared struggles have given them a mutual respect (to say nothing of Gotrek's admitted need for someone to teach him about how the Mortal Realms work). Despite this shared respect, Maleneth is exceptionally opportunistic, seizing every chance she sees to tear the master rune from Gotrek’s chest, even if it means she’d have to fight a God-Beast on her own.
In case you haven't noticed from her name, opportunistic nature and her constant arguing with a malevolent voice only she can hear, she's basically a gender swapped Malus Darkblade, albeit more neutral than evil and without the beloved cool steed or the owner of the malevolent voice having any control over her body.
Jordainn: A prince of the african-esque nation of Edassa who Gotrek befriends in Aqshy. After Jordainn died in battle, Gotrek starts wearing his lion-engraved pauldron as a memento. He eventually gets resurrected as the Stormcast Prosecutor Jordaeus Lionheart for the Anvils of the Heldenhanmer. He reunites with Gotrek, only for Gotrek to hate him because he broke his oath to defend his fortress, which got overrun by Skaven while he was absent. This results in him being riddled with guilt, yet still following Gotrek out of a belief that Sigmar intended him to guide Gotrek to his destiny. Also he hears the voice of Grimnir whenever he tries praying to Sigmar.

Here are two pics of her:

Any suggestions are welcome!

And since I also liked the Silver Shard novel, I am also looking for minis representing these two:

Aelven treasure hunter Shev Arclis

Fleetmaster Arika Zenthe

Thanks already!

I assume you've already checked Reaper Miniatures and Darksword Miniatures? They seem the most logical bet for that type of elven characters.

Honestly - NO!
I have no clue at all.
That's why I am asking...

How about Luna from Hasslfree?

(That's a 25mm, NOT 20mm base, to give you an idea of size.)

A bow rather than sword, try Spyglass - now sold by Heresy Miniatures. This is Shae. (I think they have a few others.)
