Durgin Paint Forge Preview More Of Their Elf Archers
June 4, 2020 by brennon
Durgin Paint Forge continues to impress with their previews of the new Elf Archers that are coming to their world of Inneath. This character joins their wonderful miniature wargaming range which is coming to Kickstarter and their own webstore in the future.
Elf Archer - Noble Arrow
This character is called the Noble Arrow and feeds into the idea of drawing on Asian themes and aesthetics for the range as a whole. She is a little bit different from her companions as she isn't interested in stealth. Instead, she is going to be taking to the forefront of your warband and dealing with her foes head-on.
Here is the rest of her band of Elf Archers so you can see a comparison against them as a whole. Here you can see the difference with the others draped in their leaf cloaks.
Elf Archers Group
Again, this is a wonderful range of miniatures for an inventive world. I think there is a lot of fun painting ideas you can play with here, either going for something incredibly natural and wild or perhaps a little bit off the wall. Imagine them done in pinks, blues and lurid colours!
Are you tempted to go and check out more from Durgin Paint Forge?

meh… that anime style isn’t for me….
Same thoughts. I like the fey aspect, but I’m sick and tired of quasi-anime/manga aesthetics.
I guess you’re in luck then, cause there’s barely any of it around. =)
On the contrary, it’s everywhere. Comics, Graphic Novels, Animation… And there already were quite a few mini makers with manga/anime products before DPF. Granted, this take is interesting, but for the reasons above, I’ll pass.
Elf assassins.
Really unusual style – usually when you see more anime-inspired models they’re the chibi bobble-head type (other than Infinity of course).
Very interesting, characterful and well-implemented. I’m also a fan of ‘at-rest’ poses – I guess because you don’t see them so often?
I don’t like it.

Get lost, spammer.
@kronosthetraveler I didn’t feel that it was possible for one person to so succinctly express the way I was feeling at any given point in time. You Sir, have proven me wrong. Well said.
I personally like the anime style that DPF is using for this range – it really enhances the “fey” look he’s going for with this range of elves and helps them apart from the more realistically-proportioned elves and dwarves he makes. The bigger eyes also help make them more expressive.
(I’m actually defending elves…WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME?!?)
Yep I feel the same way ….. I am going to make atonement to the Dwarf Gods after I finish typing this, but these are the elfiest elves that have ever elfed.
LOL Yep! DPF’s figured out how to distill the pure essence of DWARF and ELF into his non-human models pretty effectively.
(I hope my Greywater Fastness boys never find out about this, or they’re going to stage an uprising…)
Smurf the smurfing smurfs! You can atone with the Sister Sledgehammers from Warlord Games and play some Blood Bowl

Those are some nice looking elves. You dont see elves like that too often.
Love em. Very distinct design and they look like a joy to paint.
