Middle. But really nice middlehamer. And of the middlehammer era these old elves are some of the very best models.

I really like this style, very classic :D

I've been playing some more 9th age recently, to the detriment of painting and getting this list done.

Still, I managed to gather some more bits for my artillery base. I should get started on it as I've got everything I need. I've also decided to give my spearmen unifom shields. Now they are all sporting the 4th edition mixed shields. I'm going to take the "star" shields, as it fits the unit better and makes it really slick.

Done some more painting though:

Finished the horses, chariot and base. Still need to do some more detailing on the charioteer though. Almost done though, yay!

Image
I've also started on my archer unit and I've done all of the white cloth on all of them. The above mini is mostly finished and I'm going to copy this scheme to the rest of my unit.

Ok. Last pic of my chariot, I swear!

Got around to finally finishing the charioteer. Now I can maybe finally move on to the artillery bases or my archers.

I agree with the others. Lovey painting. Very clean and crisp. And the cloak is great. Very nice idea.

Be careful what you promise. Before you know it we start asking for groups pictures or army pictures and he'll sneak in there somewhere ;)
