The first swords"elf" looks like he has an arrogant smirk on his face...srt of like "come on orcs...come a wee bit closer...I'm not that dangerous..."...then...

Looks really great though!

Yeah I know

I just love that one

Very nice mate, glad to see you're still chuffing away at that army Smile Those elves are looking great! Exceptional blending on the flesh areas as well, I'm still having issues with trying to pick out all the details on their ruddy faces.

It's the only Good army for me

And yes, you're absolutely right, the faces are just pure... (insert apropriate word

)

Very nice. You inspire me to put a lil' more effort on my batch mini's too

Glad to be help

We'll see how yours army will turn out, so far pretty impressive

Beautiful looking force!! Absolutely stunning!

Thanks guys for support. Really helped me to get on with that last batch of army (pics affter weekend).

Right now I'm finally allowed to post some pics I entered for Competition

First my Master Craftsman work

Don't be to harsh on that one I just had about 6-7 h to complete it just before Easter, plus I forgot to take my red and yellow paints back home so I Had to go with Alternate fire

Next my Felame Elf ranger. It's by Reaper but I think it suits LotR theme. IMO it's better sentinel than GW ones

I love the diorama mate, it was my favourite of the competition. I'm not sure there are many things cooler than a goblin with a *weapon of mass destruction* :wink:

The elf is fan-freaking-tastic as well, definately fits into Middle Earth.

Can't wait for those ingame shots!

EDIT: Ok, what gives! who's the smart alec that replaced the b-word with 'I'm an idiot' :lol:

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Thu May 01, 2008 4:12 pm

Great diorama! It's truly great! Same as for the Ranger, both awesome! Great work as always Haldir!

Mine also. How crazy was that???!!! I loved it! Very unconventional and 'off the wall'. I thought the green fire was intentional - a sort of weird magical fire conjured up by some dark art.

Oh, and well done on that letter-opener as well. A very tasty little trophy.

That Felame Elf ranger looks simply stunning ! Very nice miniature to start of with (and yes its LOTR themed) and then painted amazingly...beautiful, simply beautiful !!!

Thanks guys for comments.

I believe it's an Italian saying that the best solutions are the temporary one

So anyway this week update. Last days off free careles painting before exam sessions starts at Monday :/ Than there will be almost no free-time to paint till July

I decided to start finishing second batch of mine Haldir's Elves. They have been lying on desk for almost a year and they started to drive me crazy doing nothing

Plus commission Gamling with standard (just before finishing Standard which will be done till Monday...i hope so

)

Pics ... well suck

But I don't have now space and will to make better just for WiP (no might either

)

Sorry to say.. but those mini's look like they had been rushed :O

*pointing the finger up and down*
I'm not used to this!
*stops*

xD

Nah, but knowing your other models these will end up fine too! These are WiPs nonetheless

ps
Those reds on Gamling aren't finished yet.. are they?
And what's up with those spears? You know Galadhrim can't have spears.. do you?

Well said, very, very well done!!

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2008 12:01 am

Okay, I'm not just saying this...

I think that is 'THE' best colour scheme I have ever seen on Armoured Elves !
At first glimpse, it looks a little dull, but on further inspection, that is much more realistic colour scheme for Elves, blending into the woodland surrounding them...I love it...awesome !!!

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2008 7:38 am

The Galadhrim are banner bearers (I love that sculpt) so I am guessing you have a lot of the bow/sword elves as well. The gold is very cleanly done.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Wed May 28, 2008 6:50 am

Thanks guys. I thought I'll stay with Blue colour scheme for cloak because I really like working with GW blue.

Plus Here's some assembeled and based minis from UKFB. I have no idea when I'll start workup on those one but i'm guessing not sooner than 8.06

:D and most probably in July :/ Anyway here's the first batch of UKFB minis coming.

Commander_cool · **Posted:** Wed May 28, 2008 12:56 pm

Those Wood Elf cloaks looks blindingly terrific - they must be some of the best I have ever seen because of the wonderful shades of colour. I'm sure the finished models will be outstanding.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Mon Jun 09, 2008 9:15 pm

Thanks mate.

Still working on Elves , but I finished Rohan Banner

Commission job so it's not at full skill, thought I'm pretty found of finished model though I need to varnish it once more.

I'm mainly interested what you think about Banner , any suggestions?

Cheers

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Tue Jun 10, 2008 9:19 am

The banner looks brilliant mate, it helps top an already excellent model. I would love to be able to paint free-hand banner designs like that

tidoco · **Posted:** Tue Jun 10, 2008 10:41 am

Nice work, Gamling is not an easy miniature to paint, the banner is great.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Tue Jun 10, 2008 3:28 pm

Oh how I wish my banners turned out like that! Superb job on Gamling indeed, I look forward to seeing the UKFB Minis
