Universal High/Pro/Wood Elves miniatures ?

Post by Hegel »

OK, in an ideal world I´d have the budget to buy and the time to paint all three elf teams (already got darkies done), but real life just isn´t like this... so I´m looking for miniatures which could represent all three elf teams. Two blitzer (wardancer), two thrower, four catcher and a set of linemen, ideally easy to distinguish from each other. Do you have any suggestions which available models could fulfil this approach ? So much the better if they wouldn´t have mohawk hair style...

How about the new elf team from Impact?

you'll find the kickstarter here and they'll be available in the regular store once the kickstarter is done (I assume)

I'm going to use mine as dark, pro and high elves.
Might not work as wood elves though

I would suggest the elf team by Black Scorpion Miniatures.

I don't think he's keen on Mohawks. Even the impact side has a few, but they're not universal. The Impact side definitely cover high and pro, wood at a stretch. It has stars as well.

The Black Scorpion ones are not too bad, only the blitzers suck. Maybe I could replace them with Willy star players or other models...

On Impact! I don´t see too many options. They got dark elves (Night Elf) and wood elves (Timberline Elf), but both of them don´t seem to be OK for pro/high elves...

I would love to see a good High Elf alternative, too :D Black Scorpion are pretty big, no?

I´ve just seen their dwarf team on the table, and they aren´t bigger than they should be.

I meant the new teams from the kickstarter.
They're not on the impact page yet, since Tom needs to end the kickstarter first.

Just checked the Pro Elves kickstarter team from Impcat! and they really look nice. My only problem is - which ones are the blitzers ? This is the page : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/67 ... and-orcs-a . Somewhat down there is a picture of the Pro Elves saying that the regular team will contain each of the nine different sculpts twice. Nr7 is obviously the thrower, Nr4 and probably Nr5 are catchers, but then I´m lost. None of the remaining numbers looks really different from the others...

Blitzers are nr 2 and 9, with the mask and the dreadlock-like hair. And yes the nr 4 and 5 are the catchers, with only one shoulder pad.

I got these guys to be my Pro Elves:

http://www.neomics.de/shop/elves

They're not super-elfy, but that may be a plus for your purposes. I've never seen them in real life or even in people's paint threads. I like them and sorta wonder why they don't get more love.

EDIT: I confused myself into thinking you were looking for Dark Elves and not Wood Elves. This team may be less good for that, but the have the Prince Elves as well that may be to your liking:

Also the MK1881 Tanatos models are non-mohawky elves:

Don't know when they'll be on the market to the public, but it should be soon.

Hi Tom, will the stars be available separately from the teams either in a group package or as individuals?
