Wild Elves March Onwards (43pts)

 The Wood Elf Army Grows

After a unexpected couple of free hours this afternoon. I managed to finish off the next four wood elves bringing the total to ten plus a tree man (Greater forest spirit)

The standard bearer surrounded by her Spearguard

The Winter Thorns Archers

Alternative Armies, Citadel*, Grenadier (EM4), Celtos (Brigade) & Marauder?

*One of the classic Skarloc wood elf archers. A few more to follow.  

The Alternative Armies figure really standards out as a bit different. Sculpted in a very different (alternative?) style but still a nice figure. From their dungeon adventurers range. 

I think the elf on the right is an old Marauder figure and probably one of my favourite sculpts from this current lot. With some nice little details such as carvings on the front of the bow and glove for bow string hand. 

I am an amateur archer and so a padded glove is definitely needed for holding the bow string. And with the longbows carried by these elves the bow string would be cutting deep into the fingers whilst drawing the bow to full draw.

  3. I never really cared for those Celtos elf models much, but your style really suits them... the skintone and blue paint brings it into the army well. Good work.
