Expansions for my Shadow elves

I painted the first five models as test pieces for a new force to the Fang painting competition in the beginning of the year. Now after I got some tournament work done, it was time to expand that force. I have been collecting all sorts of elves in past year or so and it's really fun to finally get to work with them. It's fun how a coherent theme ties in the different models together. I let the photos do the talking:

 Some archers, three old grenadier elves, the Maidenguard standard bearer, an old wood elf archer with bow swapped with one from the Oathmark kit and an old chariot crewman. The banner isn't exactly a masterpiece, but does its part. 

These guys have featured here before. They got a musician to fill their ranks with the sword swap in to a more reasonbly sized one from the oathmark kit.

From left to right, a Grenadier hero, Eternal guard with the spear tips changed to a spare axe head, plastic spear elf with arms and head from Oathmark kit, the Phoenix guard command with hands changed again from the Oathmark kit and the massive halberd changed to a ceremonial speartip from a Lothern seaguard from the Island of Blood, Oathmark elf with axe wielding hand from a Gripping beast viking and finallya second Grenadier hero with axe tip again from GB viking kit.

Breaking silence

Didn't post anything for a whileas I was far too busy with other stuff. My spring was quite hectic in Work (had 7 business trips since beginning of April) and I was organizing the miniature side of Ropecon 2019. Both went well, but didn't really have the push to write anything here. Well as I was organizing the Ropecon, it allowed me to also organize some events that I have wanted to have there. Most important was Armies on Parade competition. As I decided it was best to run as a public vote, I also got to participate myself. I made a (smallish) display board for my shadow elves and also finished them to full 8 points Saga force (actually I'm still missing a wizard from that, but well close to it). I'll write more about how I made the board, but this is about the miniatures. The first pics are also from the first game I had with them. I introduced my friend to Saga age of Magic and to the second edition of Saga and he used my Undead force. So it was quite a nice c

Four way Erehwon

Image
We played a big four player Warlords of Erehwon match few weeks ago. The system works very well in the multiplayer format. The game was also a treat, as we were playing with old friends and everyone had got some new stuff for the occasion. We used Age of Sigmar Open war cards for the scenario bit modified, so that we had three objective cards, and each of us had a secret objective and a twist. It has been some time after the game, so details have lost in time (like tears in rain), but here are some action shots: The board. My elves deployed. Janne's elves deployed. The view to Undead and knightly side. My king took the front charge. Birds eye view. Knights advance, Lauri had painted the whole army for this game. Great effort. They were supported by a bear. Overall view. The undead advance. Prince takes damage and pins. The other elves go for the knights. Village side of the table. In game action.

Reinforcements for the Shadow Elves

Image
After playing my first game with the force, with some back up from older armies, I got good motivation on getting more soldiers done. Thus I built and painted ten more infantry: Models from left to right:  Unconverted White lion standard, Shade with a weapon swap and new haircut from green stuff, unconverted white lion hornblower, Oathmark elf with Perry mounted spear, Oathmark elf with GW spearelf head and Perry archer hands, Oathmark elf with Perry men at arm hands, Swordmaster champion with new sword and shield, , Maiden guard with Oathmark head and Perry axehead, GW spearelf body with dark elf crossbow arms and an Oathmark head and finally an Avatars of war Dark elf hero with most of the spikes removed and weapons changed. And here is the merry bunch.
