Old school High Elves

Here´s some real "old school" stuff. My first painted command group and some warriors from the early 90's... The color themes are straight from 1993-High elf army book. Bright reds, greens, yellows, purples, and all kinds of colors were "in fashion at the time. Color themes in latest army books have become a bit boring for the High Elves, I think. Pretty much just blue, white and silver...


I have added the Banner and the Dragons on this Standard bearer from the new plastic Spear men regiment box... The Elf originally had a long spear and a flag on it... I don´t know if you should ever convert a classic :) I did it anyway, and I´m sticking with it...


Here´s an exact copy of the color theme in Army Book of 1993... For my own defense, I must mention the fact, that the horn and the feathers on arrows are painted in different color :D I have really let my imagination fly on this one...

I still remember painting this High elf Champion... I guess it´s because, for the first time I didn´t copy the colors straight from book ;) Anyway, I was really happy with the combination of green, bronze and gold. Actually, I´m still happy with the paint job on this one... after about 16 years :)

Should I add some flock and sand to the base..? It´s been under construction for 15 years now... Better late than never I guess. I´ll add a new picture when it´s done :)


I really like these old plastic High Elf Archers. They look really cool as an regiment on table. And in the game, they can really shoot... far away. What a hell have I used for yellow on that gem in the belt. It´s more like green... This picture is too sharp :)
