A mounted wood elf lord. What can I say, it is my least favourite model (with perhaps the exception of Ariel). The horse is nice, I like the horse, always have despite it’s rather cartoonish appearance. The figure… well where to start. Not a great sculpt very 2 dimensional with an arm out either side holding a weapon. A big crested helmet with no other piece of armour whatsoever save a biggish belt. Then there is my paint job, terrible drybrush highlighting of the blue cloak to start with and then for some god awful reason I thought green gloves and boots would look good with yellow YELLOW clothes and a blue cloak. I’m a guy, I’m not particularly colour sensitive but even to me this is a horror. This is one model that I will happily repaint. I dislike it intensely. But it is posted here as a historical record of something I will hopefully find the time at some point to expunge.
Can’t argue with you there…. but .. I like the figure more than the horse… I thnik I prefer pointy ears to pointy top lips… I mean if Arawen LOTR elf havea big protruding pointy top lip that flaps around in he breeze would she still have the same sex appeal?
You doo need to green stuff bath this boy. I would loose the lance and replace it with a banner/lance. Like the new ones… then ….
Hell who am I kidding… just sell it and buy the new one .. it looks way more cool and like you said.. you havea hankering to paint somthing in 28mm scale at the moment.
Sorry yes the sculpt of the horse is not great even for those of us who do not find livestock sexually appealing. But the paint job is not so bad, whereas the paint job on the figure is just rubbish.
I’ve plenty of things to do in the 28mm scale without having to go back and redo stuff. It can wait.
Oh and surely you mean simple green bath this boy. I could pack him in green stuff and see what happen though, surely can’t be any worse.
