"When the seafaring Elves reached the lands of
men, some settled down in the great port cities and set up a trade network
between the elven homeland and the New World, as they called it, of men, dwarfs
and other races. While they tend to stick mostly to their secluded quarters in
the cities, over time they adopted a fashion sense that mimics that of their new
home, albeit more elegant of course than the fabrics made by mere men." - from
"A treatise on the people within the borders of Emperor Willem Karl's
realm".
Unlike my previous projects, for this one we started out with dollies, which are generally basic figures consisting of a head, armless torso and legs. Because I wanted to avoid having all the poses have the same combination of torso and legs, we made some separate components instead to mix and match in the final figures:
Trying out a few combinations:
The various weapons and bits that will eventually be used in this project:
And the finished bodies for the first set. These will come with spear, halberd or axe option. More sets (in different poses) are being worked on:
Some assembled examples and a look at the weapon options:
More to come soon...
These are gorgeous are they going to be for general sale?
ReplyDeleteWell, as pointed out in the blog info, it's a personal project and I'm not setting up a company, but I'll have more than I need for myself, so I'll offer the surplus in the getting some section (to the left) when they are ready.

They are a fine set of sculpts, some lovely work. I really dig the low-fantasy elves and these are some of the best I have seen. You won't have much trouble shifting the spare models at the end of the project. I am really looking forward to seeing the final painted minis.
