I'm currently basing up some 6mm American Civil War Union Skirmishers, but in the meantime here's some 3mm Dark Elves I finished last week and based today.

I finished up my test unit of 3mm Dread Elves. Getting the flock between the strips wasn't too bad, I was thinking I might have to base one row at a time but I don't think that will be necessary. The base is printed, I made three grooves along its length to recess the strips. Not sure if I'm going to put a decal on the banner yet. Definitely not doing decals on the shields or pins for the spears this time though. :P

I haven't been posting much but I have been busy. There's some 40 stands of Epic Sisters of Battle I need to post pictures of, but I'm not a fan of what I did with the bases so I'm not looking at them for awhile. I also headed back to the Union skirmish infantry for my American Civil War project as well, hopefully I'll finish those up in the next few weeks.

In the meantime, buddy Karl was talking 3mm fantasy so we held each other's hand and drove off that cliff Thelma and Louise style. I picked up the Dread Elves from Microworld Games and started messing around with a classic Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elf scheme. We're going to base them on 40mm frontage bases for Triumph! to play some Grand Triumph! Fantasy. The massed troops on the bases should help sell the look, and the 3mm troops for an excellent bargain for the number of bases we'll need.

We had our second annual Blood Bowl 7's games day today (the Glory Bowl) and I painted these guys up in secret for the big day. Melpomene's Glory took home the win on their debut, going 3-0 for the day. The masks are from the 40k Harlequin kit and took a bit of carving to look right on them.
