High elf Eagle claw bolt throwers


Next out in my repainting project of my old High Elves are a couple of old bolt throwers.
Here we have them rebased on larger bases for the new rules.
I painted wood grains on the bolt throwers.
The crew are each pair painted slightly different.
When I was satisfied with the acrylic painting I gave them all a thin blue oil paint wash to make the miniatures slightly tint to blue in the shadows. It looks a little clumsy at some details but I like it overall.

High Elf armoured archers

 

I have painted some old armoured archers from my High Elf collection.
It was sort of fun to repaint the old plastic armoured archers but they are not that good looking, that is for sure.
I had some metal command miniatures and 4 old metal archers, these I really liked instead and having them mixed in the unit makes them look a little better.

Paintingwise I sort of speedpainted them but gave them a nice banner that really makes the unit pop.
I batch painted them in a block of 20 models, and a High Elf army really should have lots of archers so Im sure they will be included in future armies on the gaming table.








With 20 painted i could play them as three smaller units if I wanted to.
