Actually Painted Miniatures: More High Elves

Actually Painted Miniatures are posts where I show miniatures I painted "a while ago".

The cavalry unit was supposed to be High Elf Dragon Princes, back when Warhammer Fantasy was a going concern. They're kitbashed from GW parts - the steeds are the most recent Silver Helm horses, while the riders are Dark Elf Cold One Knights, with the most dark elfy stuff removed.

I did manage to use them in a few games and they did kill some enemies here and there.

The infantry standard bearer is from Wargames Foundry, with the banner pole placed into the hand with the help of a drill and some good will. The cavalry standard bearer is an old lead Dark Elf Cold One rider by GW, from who knows how long ago. I shaved off a crossbow and made a (not very good and thankfully out of view on this photo) cloak out of green stuff.

The images on the banners are lifted from the art of Kay Nielsen.

Two brave banner bearers. One with an unfinished base, but to make up for it her shield is magnetized.

Rangers of Shadow Deep

I just purchased Rangers of Shadow Deep.

It is - based on what I've seen on the internet (and therefore categorically believable) - a solo or co-op miniature skirmish game. From what I've seen on the Facebook group, it seems pretty interesting.

It's by the same Joseph McCullough fellow who's behind Frostgrave, Ghost Archipelago, and the forthcoming Oathmark games.

Here's what the cover of the book looks like:

Very atmospheric, no?

I'm going to read it to see whether it's suitable to introduce to the wife and a few friends. I might even review it.
