The blog isn't quite dead it's just my own painting projects that are slow to come to fruition at the best of times have been on hold for a little while. I started this Alternative Armies elf sorceress a few months back and the other weekend I finally had both the time and the inclination to actually get some hobby painting done as opposed to all the work painting.
I should point out that the models hands were originally both open and neither had a grasping thumb to hold the staff. I trimmed the thumb off and bent the fingers around using my desk top and brute force until they looked like they'd hold the staff, glued it in place and added a thumb with greenstuff.
This model rounds out my original set of 8 Crystal Elves so it feels like a finished project although I do have a box full of additional models that I'd love to get painted. Anyway, here's everything painted so far.
A really lovely addition to a gorgeous group of miniatures. The yellow accents on her pale aqua blue dress/robe make the whole scheme really vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI know you said you've finished the project, but I feel this group would look great with a mounted character just behind the sorceress and duellist ;)
I've got a mounted Crown Prince Mordred that I was going to add at some point. Also have a small selection of different mounted troops, dragoons (to match the ones on foot), cuirassiers and lancers.
DeleteAbsolutely fantastic! I agree a mounted figure would be a very nice addition when time permits. Great work anyway on a very interesting project.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think Mordred might be in the running for the next piece I end up adding.
