[WM] High Elves
« on: March 22, 2013, 10:56:29 AM »
This month I started painting a High Elf army.

So far I've finished 2 units of Bolt Throwers and 4 units of Spearmen (still need to place decals on the banners of these guys yet).

Very nicely painted High Elves- I like how clean they look.

I'll have to try and organise a game against you once you have enough units ready.

Very nice :)
I would suggest not to use black for the banner however ;)

WoW, these elves are really amazing.

If you dont mind me asking, how long did you need to finish a single unit?

Thanks guys :)

I'm working my way through a unit of Giant Eagles and 4 units of Archers now...

@Geep - Game on mate, for sure. Shouldn't be too much longer before I have enough High Elf units painted up for a game.

@Toon - About 2 - 3 days each unit mate...I can't sit there for a long time to paint so I do it in spurts throughout the day. Mostly at night though when the kids are all in bed...

I finished off the unit of Giant Eagles I had going on the side whilst I am doing the Archers. I think I'll buy another blister so I can have 2 units of these guys.

What colors did you use on the eagles? I put mine on hold because I couldn't get the browns I wanted.
