Silvan Elves WIP

The next company of Gildor is shaping up, although I will have to add some more spearmen to the ranks. 
The printed shields from eBay are stuck on and await some bronze paint.

I thought this chunky guy could be the captain of the company, he certainly looks fierce enough.


These GW Dark elf heads work well for Wood elves too I think. They have an Oak leaf shape around the eye slits.

This metal Wood elf will come in useful. He now carries a plastic spear from Fire forge. The length of the spear will be great for putting this guy in the rear ranks.

A classic Wood elf figure, lightly armoured with a mail corset and shield. He will fit right in with my forces. 
This Elf was interesting, I painted him all over in the same green. I then used inks to tweak certain garments as a test. Once given a Matt varnish it should work well with all the tones being related.
The third company has seen a few reds slip into the ranks. They should all tie in with the woodland colour scheme.

Leaf it out!



Adding little pouches over the daggers is a favourite touch of mine.

The greenstuff extras really make the difference with these figures. Red ink around the base of the bronze helmet gives it a nut like look, great for Silvan elves.
