High Elves, Ellyrian Noble

 

I wanted a minor nobleman to my Ellyrion themed army.
And I found this old school miniature in my collection, he was in rather bad shape with a missing sword and tired older cloth barder horse.
I gave him the top of a sword that I think comes from an archer kit. I gave him a "new" larger stead, a new shield and bow.

I think he turned out out great and I its fun to give a old miniature a new breath of life.

Silverhelmes from the Kingdom of Ellyrion

 

I have painted this large batch of Elven knights, its the Age of Sigmars Lightelves or what ever their name is, that I gave new shields and I think these will work as Silverhelmes for my Ellyrion themed army Im building.
At first I thought the helmets would look wrong but as Im trying to theme the miniatures Im painting now as from the Kingdom of Ellyrion and thus giving them a special helmets I think works great. 
The Silverhelm champion was a test miniature for the colourscheme and have been showed on this blog previouslyshowed on this blog previously. Now the whole unit is done. 

Their helmets have some similarity to helmets or hats as the Scythian warrior on the picture above.
So if the AoS helmets have similarity to one of the step tribes that inspired the theme of the warriors of Ellyrion is just perfect for me.

I gave one of the knights a trumpet from my historical bit collection.

And together with the Ellyrian Reavers painted previously this is what I have painted for my High Elf collection.

Ellyrion Silverhelm champion

 
Im slowly rebuilding my Highelf army.
I wanted to use the Age of Sigmar elven cavaly as a base for my Silverhelms. They are so much better of a model then the last iteration of Silverhelms that lets face it, looks really bad...
I have given them new shields and are tempted to give them new helmets but at the same time these could work as they are meant to represent Silverhelms from the Kingdom of Ellyrion so some variation from the classical look would still work.

Here we have a test model in the form of a Silverhelm champion. Until I paint his whole unit I can still use him as a noble instead.

Here we have him leading my as of now rather small force of the models that I have managed to paint to my new standard.
