High Elf Colonial milita archers

 
This is my last of the metal miniatures in old school style that I bought from Northstars january limited release. And as with all the other miniatures I bought in the limited run I love these. So much character, these look really nice.

As with the previously painted infantry these were sold as Wood Elves but as I went with a heavy blue palate they will take the role of militia troops, with less rigid organisation as regular archers.

High Elf colonial militia

Latest unit of elves.
These were also sold during North stars januari sale. The miniatures were labelled as Wood elves but I have painted them more in High elf colours. The plan is to use them as a sort of colonial militia and that would explain the less uniformed look on these.
These miniatures would be nice to represent colonial troops, new settlers living outside of Ulthuan.

In an old High Elf armybook I have, the High elves could equip the a unit called Elf warriors with two hand weapons. These miniatures would be perfect for something like that

I have also thought about borrowing some basic rules from Dark elf or Wood elf units.

And now with the Arcane Journal book and the new Ships Company unit I can see these miniatures using this unit or maybe even represent them. These cant be equipped with two hand weapons but I might just overlook that.

The miniatures themselves are really nice and really like how a blue and white colouring makes them look like High Elves.

 

High Elf archers

 
Next up after the spearman unit is a much smaller unit of Elven Archers. These are also from Northstars limited run of old school miniatures they sold during januari.
These are just full of charm and character, i really like them.

Old school sculpts, High Elf Spearmen unit

 

 

 Ive just painted a new unit of spearmen for my High Elf collection.
The miniatures were from Northstars figures limited run they had in January when they re released some old school miniatures.

The miniature were originally released by a company called Harlequin miniatures.

As I had 3 old miniatures from the 90s in my collection and Northstar had a limited re release I just had to get a full unit of them.
And here we have them in all their glory.
I really really like these old school sculpts.

Shadow warriors

 

 Next out in my High Elf painting project is a large unit of Shadow Warrior lead by a High Elf Ranger.

 And I just got the Arcane Journal book for the High elves, from what I understand there are some fun new special units thats adds lots of flavours. So Im looking forward to read the book.

 

 

I think this miniature is one of if not my absolute favourite miniature. It was originally released to the game of Hero Quest as a Elf ranger, I bought the miniature when it was sold separately as a High Elf Hero.
I have never liked the combo of an additional weapon instead of a shield or a two handed weapon on a hero but the miniature looks awesome. And I thought he would be perfect to lead my Shadow Warriors.

Here is another awesome miniature. He is from Mordheim and my initial plan was to include him as musician as he is carrying a harp. I later notice that Shadow warriors cant have musicians so he got promoted to a champion or maybe if I need a Noble with the Shadow Stalker honour.

 The shadow warriors is older sculpts but I like these more then the latest iteration of them.
