Interesting, especially "loose heads" ;) It just begs to be used to convert ;)

One thing I don't like - cloakscould use a bit more of dynamism.

Looks good, but I don't like that the shields are totally flat on the backside.

sorta look like the Napoleonic sets u can get. if it came with options for a captain, banner, horn then it would be worth the price

Nice find! 8) They look great IMO! :-D

@mitch_rohan- you could use the banner off the knights sprue for a foot banner bearer (with a bit of converting) and the head without the helmet could pass as a captain for both the foot and mounted troops, just a thought. :)

I don't think they are. Look at how the light reflects off of them.


Not that it really matters, they are only Elves...

I didn't meant it like that, I meant that they were flat with no design or something. :roll:

Yeah but you can paint wood grain or whatever on. They're no worse than Isengard Uruk-hai shields. :)

You're right... And I won't even buy Galadhrim in a while, so it really isn't a problem... Then why do I complain? :?

Although an Isengard shield is little more than a crudely hammered sheet of steel...

An Elf shield should be a little more refined.

Or broken over their heads...

I know there are big differences between the two, I was just using the example of Uruk shields as one with no design on the back, I'm sure there are more. :)

We used to have 'sprunes'.... now we have 'spures' :roll:
I suppose it could be worse. :(

some people just wont buy the elves because of the price but if you think about it it alright in 40k its $19.55 for 10 chaos spae marines yes the models are a bit bigger but in my eyes that is a complete rip off whereas for the same price you get 14 more galdrihm :?
