Paint Bench: 28mm Elf Re-basing project (Done)

Repaint Time: 1 day (233 Minis)

I am repainting all the bases on my Elf army. Most of them are already done, but I guess I want everything to be uniform as far as basing. The brown base makes the figure look a lot better.

28mm High Elf Army

Here is my completed High Elf army. I painted most of the Cavalry, 43 out of the 54 and about 210 of the 530 foot figures. I got the others from two others peoples collections in the UK and California. I found some really nice figures for a great price. I decided to beef up my Elf army for the Battle of Gondolin and various other battles in Middle Earth, Mithgar, Warhammer Fantasy and so on. I can use the ones I painted for Dark Elves as well. 

 

Meanwhile, I am painting up some Goblin Wolf riders then finally I will play the Siege of Gondolin.

28mm High Elf Army

Here is my High Elf army collection. The figures are all Warhammer from Games Workshop. I painted these a few years ago, and they have never seen battle as of today. I plan to use them in Warhammer fantasy battles. I also plan to use them as elves of Beleriand as well as in Gondolin...and any other place I need elves. I also like to game in Mithgar from the Iron Tower Trilogy by Dennis McKiernan.

 I research a lot of different manufactures before picking the Warhammer High Elves. I like the armor and shield type. They are extremely easy to paint. I used silver paint then washed them in black, then painted the various colors on and washed again in lighter browns.

I used various bits to make 14 High Elf chariots, however I decided to sell them on Ebay.
