Foundry Elven Revenants
« on: April 04, 2011, 03:40:22 PM »
Now that LPLV round 3 is well and truly over, I thought that people might like to see some individual pictures of my Foundry Elven Revenants:



Mayalari, Man's Last Temptation


Alatha, Slain in Darkness


Eluthne, Born to Shadows


Taenor, The Observer


Calandi, Soul-Deserted



I have a full set of these, so the rest of them may appear at some point...  ;)

Lovely painting Heldrak, but I have to confess by being disappointed by the close ups of the faces. The scuplting makes them look more masculine than feminine and it goes as a credit to your painting that I didn't notice it until I saw the close ups.
Looking forwards to seeing more of your stuff in LPL.

Always loved these figures.
No earthly (or unearthly) use for them, but very cool.
Nice work Michael.

Like these a lot, the beige and greens work really well together, lots of detail on the minis. Really like the bases as well.

Great stuff

A great set of sculpts.  I painted mine in the 'traditional Black and Reds.  These look fantastic.

Thanks, gang.  :)

As Captain Blood says, it can be problematic to find a gaming use for them. They're very large in scale, so they don't fit in with Elf figures from other manufacturers and they are pretty unique stylistically. I've always really liked them as they strike that balance between elegant and sinister that I think that Elves should have.

Good stuff, with a nice restrained palate.

Is it just me, or has Alatha strayed from the cover of the Pixies' Surfer Rosa?

I don't have a problem with the faces on the female Elf figures, but I did think that they had frighteningly large "man" hands... :o

Superb stuff. I have a handful of these minis, and they're a joy to paint. Your colour scheme is wonderful.

Like Heldrak says, it's annoying that they're out-sized sculpts. Having painted mine up last year I bought a pile of 'regular' Foundry elves from eBay and they don't fit together!!  :-[

Still lovely figures to have, even if you can't do much with them.  ;)
