Don't do elves and stuff myself, being a boring old more-or-less-historical-only fart.


I have always wanted to be more of an historical gamer/painter myself, but apart from WW2 I can never make up my mind on a period. The advantage of  fantasy gaming for me is that I can use the army pretty much constantly against any opponent, whereas my inner historical pedant wouldn't let me field historical armies against anachronistic enemies. I did buy a Perry French HYW army some years ago, with the thought that with a few fantasy type heroes added it would double up as a fantasy army, but the amount of cleaning up the poor casts required killed off that one. I quite fancy doing a historical Ottoman army using TAG figures and add some flying carpet cavalry and Djinn options at some point. :P

I think the proper term to describe these is SHITHOT!!!   :-* :-* :-*

The glass armor is genius and I'm totally ripping off the elvish script for shields.  Great work man!

Very impressive. Normally I do not like elves, and I especially did not like Mantic's elves, but you made me actually like them!

Simply brilliant!
Now one can see, that even the shunned mantic elves (too small, even puny looking) can look that good!

keep on

Very good stuff and great paintjob....
I wish to see all these minis gathered in a picture, and I'll be pleased if their scale fit well together.

Fantastic work! I hope that gets the juices flowing for you. I'm not familiar with all those different sculpts, but they make a fine army together.

Beautiful shield and armor work on those point-ears!

Here's hoping the mojo keeps going...

Lovely painting, no doubt about it - but what REALLY pleases me is the use of models from diverse ranges/manufacturers.

I mish-mash/multi-purpose everything nowadays, and it has had a positive effect on my ability to field playable forces.

Wow them is good elves what do grace your shelves!

I can only marvel at the amazingly painted NMM and the 'glass armour' which looks great but I admit I don't have the foggiest idea what it is or how it could have any practical use. :?
