My colour scheme is potentially controversial as I've gone for pale pink and white. They are going to be quite possibly the girliest high elves in a long time but hey I like it I'm also running them as an all female army which will be explained in my fluff below.
The fluff that I have come up with for these guys is as follows: The High Elves darkest hour is upon them, dwindling population numbers have led to a shrinking genetic pool worsened by nobility who cling to ancient traditions of keeping noble blood pure. This narrow-minded practice has led to an increasing number of infertile elven women. Such women are often disowned and shunned by the noble family from which they came, seen as abberations in the blood line.
One such woman is the charasmatic Lady Naerdiel. Cast out by her family she dropped her family name and took the name Naerdiel meaning Lady of Sorrows. She has gathered to her a small warband of fierce women intent on proving to elven society that barren though they may be, they still have a place and a purpose in Ulthuan's darkest hour.
The standard bearer for my archers

Lady Naerdiel - I decided that I preferred the harbinger model over the mounted noble model so intend on using this to represent her. This one is still very much a work in progress, it was first painted a wee while ago and I have learnt some new tricks since then so I'm gradually improving her.
