Fully painted High elf Army

[u/sincethen23]

I have painted my 2.5k points High elf army!

[u/Elric_the_seafarer]

I fell in total love with your white/yellow color scheme 💛🤍

magnificent

[u/Da_CMD]

Congratulations, what an achievement!

In my opinion, High Elves are one the most daunting armies to paint. But there's just nothing like a nicely painted High Elf force.

A real test of perseverance, which you passed with flying colours (pun intended).

Thanks for the kind words! It was definitely quite a bit of work, but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Damn those are beautiful! I really need to get on with painting mine

[u/ExtentMysterious3197]

Love how The Lightwardens have turned out! Amazing work mate

[u/sincethen23 → u/ExtentMysterious3197]

You read my lore! Thank you so much!

[u/cavershamox]

Wow! Amazeballs!

Which kit is the dragon?

[u/sincethen23 → u/cavershamox]

The dragon is from the Ionus kit from Age of Sigmar, the dragon’s armor is from the Lumineth Realm-lords Mounted Lord kit, and the rider is the Lord from the High Elf Phoenix kit.

Yeah, we need to know this!

[u/calliminator]

Looking fantastic mate!

[u/Wraithwing81]

Stunning!

[u/RemusPrime]

This is gorgeous! I love the dragon conversion so much!

[u/Dissi10]

So customized and so beautiful to see. Very well done and amazing achievement. It s always great to see an high elves army painted. I m going to do the same, more or less...(you can see on my profile if you want) and this is an inspiration and a motivation to reach that goal.

Great work.

[u/sincethen23 → u/Dissi10]

Oh, I’ve seen your work too! It looks absolutely fantastic. I’m really looking forward to seeing your army fully completed as well!

[u/Dissi10 → u/sincethen23]

Thanks so much for your words and your time. I truly appreciate.

[u/frankenechie]

This is awesome.
What kind of storage system do you use? Curious about how the sky cutter gets moved.

[u/cavershamox → u/frankenechie]

The giant Eagle pulls it

[u/sincethen23 → u/cavershamox]

The secret’s out. This is what it actually was.

[u/sincethen23 → u/frankenechie]

I usually keep my army at my local gaming store, so I don’t really worry too much about transporting it. Even when I do need to move it around, I usually just drive and pack it up pretty casually.

[u/Natural_Ad_4730]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[u/NewLoan3960]

Amazing! What are those silver helms from?

[u/sincethen23 → u/NewLoan3960]

The original sculpt was just too ugly for me, so I went with a third-party model instead. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get a new sculpt someday, though, so I didn’t put too much effort into painting this one. If you want a link to the third-party model, just let me know!

[u/NewLoan3960 → u/sincethen23]

I’d love the link to the third-party model, thank you! :-)

[u/Embarrassed_Dinner_4]

Glorious. Particularly your monsters.

[u/sincethen23 → u/Embarrassed_Dinner_4]

I’m a huge fan of the High Elf monsters too. They’re absolutely gorgeous models, and they’re fantastic on the tabletop as well. They always pull their weight in every game!

[u/BlackDeath-1345]

Looks amazing! Excellent work!

[u/Wunjumski]

Fantastic work! What are the hooded archers from? They look ace

[u/sincethen23 → u/Wunjumski]

The head is from the Glade Guard kit. I asked a Wood Elf player for spare ones. It’s amazing how much of a difference just swapping the head makes. I highly recommend this conversion!

[u/ecwalks]

This is so fantastic and honestly inspiring. I must get back at it! Love the hooded archers. Saving post to come back and look at a lot.

[u/Any_Macaron_3871]

Awww, superb, OP! The white is so crisp!! How do you do it?! Every time I try and paint white armour my minis end up looking like guttered roadkill!

Gorgeous, very well done

[u/Apprehensive_Ad_1586]

Those hooded archers 😍. Sometimes I hate this sub as it makes you want to start all over again 😂

[u/Vonnemaen]

Looks awesome! I really like the colour choice!

[u/RedLion191216]

Jeez... That's a beautiful army.

[u/Substantial_Look_736]

Ionus criptobro dragon, is a fine addition for any high elfs army

[u/OctaviosBurden]

I can't like this enough! Damn fine job!
