Kingdom of Avelorn High Elves

Following the reaveal of my latest High Elf miniatures, all from the Kingdom of Avelorn themed batch now it is time to reaveal the whole batchpainting all together...

As I just love these combined Army photos, I think that the combined

Sisters of Avelorn

Here we finally have a newly bought unit, not just old miniatures that i repainted for this edition...

I have bought and painted a unit of Sisters of Avelorn. 
Perfect end to the themed Kingdom of Avelorn batchpainting I did as this is the last unit from my large batchpainting.

Birch Treeman

 

As the kingdom of Avelorn has the worlds largest population of treemen and treespirits in the world I think Its only fitting to have atleast one treeman to my collection.
The treemens of Avelorn tends to the forests in Avelorn so I guess they will be reluctant to travel outside their forests to join my other forces on their expeditions...
Atleast I could use the miniature in an conflict set in Avelorn.
I think that the miniature actually is and old Wood Elf special character, Durthu the treeman.

It was a fun miniature to paint.
I opted to paint him as a birch treeman as I thought the white bark would fit nice into the other miniatures. I wanted lots of white to fit with my other elves. 
And I really like the white and black colours of a birch. 

 

Here under is a concept art I did with Chatgpt of my pictures. Fun sidehobby...

High Elf Mage of Avelorn

 

Next out from my Kingdom of Avelorn themed batchpaint is a mage.

The miniature is an old Wood Elf sculpt that I really like.
I painted her in white to make her look mer High Elfy.

 

Here under is a concept art I made of my miniature with Chatgpt.

Handmaiden of the Everqueen

Next out is an actual Handmaiden of the Everqueen. With the current edition treating them as a character rather then a unit.
I actually bought this miniature new when she was re-released as it wasn't a miniature I had before. So not all of the miniatures from my 'painting High Elves for Warhammer' project is repainting older miniatures, some of them are actually new. hehe.

As with the other High Elves i paint now I wanted a rather unnatural, otherworldly feel to her. So she is painted i rather bleak colours with a blueish tint or shade, that I think makes a nice contrast to the earthy brown and green of her base. Making her look like a fairy, not really belonging in this world.

If I place her in the unit of Handmaidens I can get them to 12 miniatures that are a more even number. 

Handmaidens of the Everqueen

 

I have painted a unit of old Handmaidens of the Everqueen.
Unfortunately I didnt have the original standardbearer but i managed to convert a standard miniature to carry a larger banner and it worked out really nice.
The banner it self is handpainted.

This is the next unit to reveal in my larger Avelorn themed batch paint I just made.

I really like the sculpts and they were fun to paint.

These miniatures dont have any current rules so have have some different options to field them.
The easiest but most boring way would be to use them as 'count as' Lothern Seaguards without shields and call it done.

The funnier option would be to give them rules based on older edition of the game. Special rules I dont have any opinion on, same with their older stats. But weapons and armour I think should be updated to the current edition.
In this edition the Handmaidens of the Everqueen are a Character with a Handmaidens spear and a Bow of Avelorn.
So I think a unit of these would use the stats from previous edition but with with the special spear from the character to give them a special flare, an unique role. 
I dont think they should be given the Bows of Avelorn as these would be similar to the Sisters of Avelorn. Its better to keep those units separated. These Handmaidens can keep the longbows.
The spears are not that special but its something to make them unique.

Or as a friend advise me, maybe use the Wood Elf Eternal guard rules.
