You've seen them before, but I mustered the Elves for a photo shoot yesterday.

They look great all together.

Beautiful work. Both my own elves and their enemies are growing again at the moment. The beginnings of a larger dwarven force also landed on my doorstep earlier this week.

A terrific looking host. I've always been impressed with people who go out of their way to create their own versions of various universes, discarding the mass-market versions. It makes for a more distinct and personal representation, and I personally always look for what makes one force have personality over another. They sometimes run the risk of losing that "on sight" recognition, but I think you manage to maintain a distinct Middle Earth aesthetic. For those who are familiar with the written works at the very least.

It's a slow burner, but the project continues.
2 more units of Fingolfins warriors.

Going off project for a moment, it's a life-long interest to me in what inspired Tolkien. He was so original and so influential to everything that's followed, it's great to find the sources. He gives clues of course, but all of them never quite reflect what he turned them into.

Anyway, I came across this early 20th C artist the other day, Sidney Sime, and his book cover illustrations were very similar to Tolkien's sketches. So I wondered if he was an inspiration to a young JRRT, and then I found this!
If that is not Morgoth and Ungoliant, I don't know what is.

I would love to know where those elf shield designs are from. Are they decals? It all looks so good!

It was complicated. We painted a copy of Tolkien's Fingolfin heraldry, shrunk it to size and then printed it onto a transfer sheet.

Great Elves. The army looks good.
