Bridge
I basically made this to get rid of a bunch of arch pieces.

Castle pieces
The castle grows and grows... now I have enough pieces for a 3x2 layout with corner towers.

Elves
The House of Helios troops ready for battle.

Elven Axemen
Elven axemen. I really like this concept, it deviates from the normal pansy imagery.

Elven Spearmen
Elven spearmen. While not as manly as the axe-elfs, these guys are no pushovers either.

Elven Spearmen Leaders
Spearman command, leader and standard bearer.

Elven Spearman Standard Bearer
I couldn't find a transfer I liked for the banners and shields, and knowing that I suck at freehand, I painted this abstract flame motif instead.

Elven Spearmen
Ready to receive a charge.

Elven Spearmen
The shields are nicely visible here.

Elven Spearman
If you look closely, you can see I skimped on the dangly stuff in the belly.

Elven Spearman
A closer look at the shield.

Elven Spearman
As normal, the trooper blisters come with just two poses.

Elven Spearman
These guy smust value their butts highly, because they are so keen on protecting it.
2006-06-27
Elven Spearman Leader
I left the eyesockets black.
2006-06-27
Elven Axemen
The command trio.

Elven Axeman Leader
I think I overuse red color schemes, so I made these guys yellow instead, for the House of Helios.

Elven Axeman Leader
I'm not happy with the belt.

Elven Axeman Standard Bearer
The right hand was a bit hard to assemble.

Elven Axeman Standard Bearer
Here's another view of the flame motif banner.

Elven Axemaster
Interestingly, this special trooper is cheaper in points than a regular axe elf. While he may be good for chopping up weak opponents, the hand axes lack the punch of the big cleavers.

Elven Axemaster
Even so, he must be a dopplesoldner. He's got a money pouch under each arm while the other troopers have just one or even none.

Elven Axemen
Two-pose wonders arrayed for battle.

Elven Axemen
I still can't shade the gold. The cingulum thingy is shaded in all three Foundry gold shades, but it looks awfully single color to me.
2006-06-27
Elven Axemen
I thought about doing the edges of the axe blades in bare metal, but in the end fatigue won out.

An Elven Mess
The pansies don't even need an enemy to screw up their formation...
