This weekend I finished my second Warrior (player character) for Warhammer Quest (original version). Following on from my
Marienburg Noble,
this time it's the Wood Elf, one of the classic four Warriors included
with the base game. Again, I picked a figure to fit with my Lustria-set
dungeon, so I didn't want the usual cloaked Elf - it's hot & humid
in the Lizardmen-infested jungles! Another twist on the usual trope is
that I picked another female figure. Again I went with another
excellent
Hasslefree miniature, one that I felt had a real 'wild woods'
vibe, while still looking suitably Elfin. One minor thing about the
figure is that it was very flat, which wasn't helped by the firing pose,
& I'm a fan of WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get), so as the
basic Elf begins armed with a sword as well as a bow, I added a sheared
sword from the Empire Greatswords sprues. I think this helps to bring a
bit more '3D' to the pose.
Maika von Ostwald, the wealthy daughter of a Marienburg merchant lord, tired of life among the trade guild elite, & traveled to the New World in search of adventure. The Wood Elf Eelyn Greenblade joined Maika on her voyage through a shared wanderlust, becoming one of her first questing companions. Finally, here's a photo of the Noble & Wood Elf together... Next up, the Wizard!

What a lovely miniature.
ReplyDeleteYeah, so many great sculpts from Hasslefree. I'm quite pleased with how this one painted-up.
