The fear: They will look too wood elfy.
The Goal: A cheap alternative to the statues quo you can still use in tournaments.
Appologies for the pics, didn't realize they'd be that big (really need to remember my photo bucket account). In any case I guess I'll go with a few minies at a tiime to go into detail with what I have done, what is still left to get done, and wait a couple of posts for the next one.
Here's what I got: Mini 1, the Blood Shade:
Subconsciously I make as many of my command options when available female, and since I have that option here, might as well take the opportunity. THe spur has several left and right arms holding swords so I used both on her.
Like with all the shades in this outfit I'm using the hooded heads as I think they will make them look a little more druchii.
On her side is an ungore skull from the Glade Guard kit, in an attempt to make them look less woody.
Her cloak is from a High Elf Chariot I used a while back to make a Roman charioteer for my mom's Little Town of Bethlehem collection. As it was just lion around (did not mean that as a pun) I thought I'd put it on her as the wood elf cloak I intended I ended up butchering in an attempt to take out some of the leafy and viny designs on the back. better luck than.
What still needs to be done. The paint job obviously. I'll probably use some of my old paints up for this one, but I want to have a slight camouflager thing going for them.
Others are mostly touch up. I need to add a crossbow of some sort to her, obviously. I also need to put some green stuff to plug that hole on her back and to connect the hood to the cloak.
SO, what do you think my fellow druchii?
