This is my 300th post on this blog!
I’m happy to present my Wood Elves, The Fangorn Forest Entwives:
I’m happy to present my Wood Elves, The Fangorn Forest Entwives:
The team is by Greebo, and were a bit fiddly to put together. They are slender metal figures, and many have multiple parts with no decent points of attachment. The patterned uniforms are not sharply demarcated on the castings.
My favourite figure is the Thrower- I like how she’s looking backwards as she hands the ball to her bird. I added some weights underneath to better balance the miniature.

The Wardancers are the centre of any Wood Elf team, and are sure to be targets. I didn’t realise that they had these gymnastic ribbons initially, and thought they were offcast mold supports! I can’t believe they haven’t fallen apart yet, the points of attachment are tiny...

Similarly I’m waiting for the Catchers’ arms to fall off...

The Line Elves are fine. I decided not to have any blondes. I gave them tights rather than bare legs to provide a new colour and reduce the amount of skin I'd have to paint.

I tidied up the Cheerleaders and Apothecary after Buttockgate earlier this year.

The Entwives will see their debut at CanCon in one month! And now I can concentrate on the Challenge.
I was very pleased to receive the Best Painted Team award at CanCon 2018. I added a Treeman, which was repainted from my Halflings. I repainted anything that wasn't bark- the clothes, greenery, armour, and the eyes. I added some freehand swirls to make it match the elves a bit more.
