Looking for Elves and want a Russian Alternative?

Alas no this isn't Elves in furry hats drinking vodka. This is a new set of Elf Spearmen from Russian Alternative for use in your fantasy battle games. Check them out below, all painted up very nicely.
As you can see these are pretty good looking miniatures. I love the action element to them with spears at different angles ready to stab out. Some brilliant miniatures to form the bulk of your Elf army.
Will you be taking the Russian Alternative
I don’t think I’ve seen better High Elves. These are simply gorgeous – the shield and helmet wing designs are stunning, the poses have some dynamism but look like they actually can rank up, the multipart nature means the variety is superb…I swear the spears even have slightly different tips!

Absolutely THC! The elven knotwork decoration on the clocks is lovely and that banner!?
Also well worth checking out the Barbarians on the website. Don’t think you will be disappointed.
Seen ’em:

Love ’em. Properly feral snarling mad heathens out for blood. Can’t wait to see their next release.

These must be best high elf spearmen so far. I love all that detail in those sculpts and to me those shields are real winners.
Good to see creative minds in eastern Europe join the mini making universe. What with great sculpts from Scribor and now Russian Alternative the competition to make beautiful minis at a fair price has never been greater!
Plus, these elf spearmen are well worth the slight extra cost. The style and design are spot on!!
Talk about great models. The shields are even good, wow all around!
Their Barbarians are tasty too!!
