Tolkien's Elves
« on: August 27, 2015, 05:08:56 PM »
This is my last chance at painting before returning to college for the year, so I thought I'd work on something new and interesting to me, 28mm Elves by GW.
I really love these figures, and am happy with how they turned out!
Thanks  :D

Are these the new new Wood Elves? They've turned out really nice. Quite like your colour scheme!

Thank you all for the feedback :)
FramFramson: that's right. I think they're sold as "Mirkwood Rangers" and are modeled after the spider fighters in The Hobbit movie. I decided to be more generic and go for a little less foresty scheme than in the references though.

...good luck back in the academic trenches!

Thanks!
