Most kind of you to say!

Well - here's another unit finished off with these five Skarloc's Archers

... and the obligatory group shot!

The Wood Elves of Kachas Pass - 15 archers led by Erdolas Thringal

10 more Elves to go for Brommedir's Bows...

Hurray, Elves!!!

I think there was a problem with the last photo, looks like a duplicate of the last back shot of 5 models...

Ooooh.... I think I have 2 or 3 blisters of those archers...

What are the shields you used? Something rings a bell in the back of my head, but I cannot pinpoint it...

Oops! Cheers Heldrak - Fixed now!

Argonor - the shields are the leather covered Goblin shields from Hasslefree - they do some nice wooden ones too which I used with my Orc archers.

Ah, yes, thanks! Very useful store, that Hasslefree one, am also going to get some steel ~~balls~~ spheres (I've forgotten what I need them for, but it'll come back.... I hope

), and some minis in due time.

Does the archers have shield pegs (I don't remember), or did you just want shields on the unit? I need to dig one of those minis out for my next CROM! test game, I think...

It is really nice and inspiring to see all those old minis, of which I own my fair share, painted up and posing in such nice terrain (I'll have to steal that 'rock' idea with the multi-steps, and I also quite like that you have bushes on bases (trees I've been basing individually, and not nearly as artistic for quite some time, now).

VERY WELL DONE! The last shot with the Oh-So-Cool standard really shows off what a fine job you did with the Old Elves.

Love them!!! the classic Wood Elves are a very tempting range to collect.....maybe in the future I'll have to tack some down.

Cheers,

Blue

Argonor - the archers have shield pegs - some of which had to be trimmed a little so the hasslefree shields sat close enough to the body to look right.

The three step mountain/hill is actually a vacuformed piece from Amera - loads of great and cheap terrain to be had there! Must get on and do more trees and bushes myself sometime...

Thanks again Deafnala and Blue! Actually it was a hankering for some Jes Goodwin Elves for my original Orc collection to bash up which led me to my current lead addiction! Got a load of them which got put on hold when Orc's Drift came along - spearmen, eagle rider, cavalry, wardancers and all sorts...

Been painting up the rest of Brommedir's Bows today - hardly inspiring work as I'm using the old citadel regiments plastic archers but I'm nearly there...

Well I've only gone and bloody done it....

I've finished!!!!!!!!!!!

Just put the finshing touches to the last of Brommedir's Bows -

Certainly is a nice feeling to be done - although there are a few odd minis lurking in the paint queue that I had intended on painting up to replace some I've already done, and there are a few more of the original characters I need to track down...

But I am now at the stage where I can play the damned thing so that'll do me for now! Think I might go and have a celebratory beer - despite the time it is!

... and get thinking about how I'm doing to do the scenic elements I still need before the Bloodbath commences...

Oh - nearly forgot the big Grand League group shot!

FANTASTIC!

The big game is almost here...

Argonor · « **Reply #506 on:** September 02, 2011, 09:13:29 AM »

The good ol' Warhammer Armies Plastic set

Lovely stuff and well done! You must be creamed!

Been away a while, and I miss out on this epic mile stone! What can I say, mate - it's all very impressive! And it's all so good looking!

I'm on paternity leave now for a few months. Stuff your lead in a sack and haul ass to Sweden, let's get a game or two in with these little wonders!

DeafNala · « **Reply #509 on:** September 07, 2011, 12:49:38 PM »

IMPRESSIVE...you certainly brought ot qualities in the plastic Wood Elf minis that I never suspected they had. A REALLY EXCELLENT paint job.
I LOVE the Elf with the tall white feather in the bottom photo on the far left. Is he a Talisman piece?
