I'm liking the shadow forge elf coach. Not too big on the players, but the coaching staff is cool.

Bout half way down the page. Trainers good too.

Cool cheers. I think my fav. is the shadow forge Coach and Nurse for apoth. Not that having a female coach is gonna help on the "all elves are girls" front though. :-?

hint

:D As a fellow elf player I can assure you that they only say that after you've kicked their @$$es.... Its pure jealousy! :roll:

I've decided to go for the LOTR Haldir mini for my Head Coach. Only problem is i'm not sure what to do about the hand holding the sword. Any Ideas?

I'm worried that with small hands getiing a pointing finger may be difficult. And the two Coaches I already have for my Orc and Dwarf teams are in a pointing pose, so I;d like to have something different.

You could make him holding a sign that reads: "Dodge now!" or "Dodgy Play!"

Yeah, holding some parchment with a play on it would be cool. Or a balled up fist (should be one or two in your bitzbox.) You could even bend the arm to make him look like he's threatening someone.....

If you're good enough, model a new hand holding a stopwatch - that would look very cool...

At the level i'm at, i don'y think I could. I've successfully modeled hands for my orc coach, one holding a scroll and one pointing. They're basic (no fingernails or knuckles) but they do the job.

I think I might go fo the sign idea, I don't have any elf bits in my box, so I'd rather work from the hilt of the sword!

Thanks for all the tips!!
