and the awsomeness of it, I really love the way they look in the PC version, Ive never been a fan of the old models, they look too generic to me and not lethal enough.So with that in mind, i started to take screenshots from the game, and look through different miniature websites to try and find bits and pieces i could stick together to make models that would appeal to what I thought would be an awsome and lethat dark elf team.
My first model was the Blitzer as he was the most striking figure from the game.
This was my inspiration
and this is what i came up with
I know the picture is not the best quality but it was the best i could do
I hope you can get an idear of what im going for.
As for the rest of the team, im trying to get a couple of the limited print dark elf runner models that Frank was advertising.
Witch elves i will use the metal ones from fantasy with weapon snips, might convert the hands if they have too much "handle-hands" going on.
Assassins, well assassin as i will proberly only want one, i will use the metal one from fantasy in the runing pose as its more or less spot on for the look from the game.
My big problem is lineelves.. what to do ?
Ive considered using dark elf spearmen torso's so they dont look as bulky as the blitzers, and the legs from corsairs, but i cant seem to get the same "Ka-zaam-damn" feeling im getting when i look at my blitzer model (which i think is AWSOME
) Ive tried converting some dark elf heads to give them a "spiked ridge" to look a little more like in the game, but spikes that small are very hard to get to look good, either they are too big, or so small that you cant really work with them, either way i need something that i can make up to 6-7 models off.
Im fresh out of idears, anyone wanna help brainstorm with me ?
Cheers for reading.
