About the Project

In this project I will adapt a Warhammer Fantasy High Elf army for use as a Highborn Elf army in The 9th Age: Fantasy Battles. And I will further expand the army.

Archers

I bought these at a local Wargaming event. They are very old miniatures from GW.

These miniatures are form the Oathmark range from Northstar. They were easy to assemble and to paint.

Ancient dragon

Last Swords dragon was easy to assemble and required little mould line removal. The dragon is smaller than the dragons of some other miniature compagnies. This makes it easier to fit the miniature on a base. No model parts bump into other miniatures during gaming either. Should you be looking for a dragon for your elf army, I can recommend this dragon.

Ancient dragon

The dragon was put on a 50 by 100 mm base. This base fits into a larger base. This lets me use the dragon either as a normal dragon or as an ancient dragon. The large base is from Magnetic Movement Tray.

Obelisk

The miniatures from a Kickstarter from Last Sword I backed two years ago, have arrived! I painted the obelisk first because it was the easiest miniature to paint. ?

(The elf is an old GW model added for scale.)

Third bolt thrower

I now have three bolt throwers in my army, just like all the tournament players. Maybe I will start winning games now! 🙂

Swordmasters

To expand my existing unit of swordmasters, I’ve bought some of the plastic swordmasters (the others are the older metal ones). I was still one swordmaster short and bought one old metal one too.

My very first pieces of elvish terrain. The statue and the obelisks are from Last Sword. I’ve got a second statue I intend to use for a small terrain project someday.

This project will slow down now as I will concentrate on my dwarfs the coming weeks and start a new project. But I will return to this project.

Griffon

I started on this griffon months ago together with my dragon. At the time I wanted to paint both big monsters simultaneously. That turned out to be a bit much, so I concentrated on the dragon and set the griffon aside. Six months and many elves later, I’ve finally finished it!

This is another miniature from Last Sword. It has the classic foot-on-rock-and-point-with-your-sword-pose.

They’re finished! At last! I’ve been working on these for weeks.

These miniatures are from Last Sword. They are the first miniatures in my army that aren’t from Games Workshop.

Comments

  • Good casts with few mold lines to remove.
  • Difficult to rank up because of the axes and mostly the coats that move in different directions.
  • They come with bases that have a slot for a round 5 mm magnet.
  • Slightly taller than GW High Elves. Not really noticeable on the tabletop, I think.
