I've recently got a few models from ebay and these were included in the boxes. I have no idea what they are, could someone enlighten me?

First one appears to be an old IG priest.

Second one is a High Elf special character. I forgot his name; he's like an expert swordsman or something.

Just had a look through the high elves section on GW, out of curiosity, but couldn't find him. Maybe an from an old edition?

Yea, according to what I understand he was dropped. It's Eltharion the Grim. I don't know about any rules or what he did, but here's a page with some info:

He's not in the new book? Pity, I thought he was pretty cool.

Ah well, he can still be used as a High Elf lord or hero.

Yeah, he looks pretty cool. Has an Illidan vibe to him.

Thanks guys, that's really handy! Didn't think the first guy would be a priest, thought he was a warrior acolyte or something!

Eh, it's the IoM. The priests are soldiers.

They are a little bit like this :




Replace Lord with Emperor. That's an Imperial priest in a nut shell.

Actually Eltharion IS in the new book

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440060a&prodId=prod790838

He just comes on his griffon now.

I think he had 2 versions, the griffon one and the Blind one as this post in warseer explains (this was back in 2008):


Re: Eltharion the Grim
The latest High Elf book has taken a step back in history. Eltharion is no longer our blind, giant sword wielding, revenge hungry elf. Now he's back to his old self, riding around on his giant duck, reading books, and doing what ever it is that normal elfs do when their not invading Druchii lands.

Oh, I've found another one:



An OOP ork of some kind - thought he was kaptin badrukk originally, but it seems not

And one more...

Those last two are a generic "Ork Warboss" (though the belt makes him a Bad Moon, and that's how the studio version was painted) and a generic Daemon Prince.

Another challenge:


They're high elf cavalry of some sort, do they have a proper name?

Can someone identify what this poor soul used to be before he got hit with the Ugly stick?



I know it's a marine of some sort, but what kind?

Brilliant, thanks! Kain I believe that was a classic chaos space marine. What he is now is another question entirely...

Nope, those are the High Elf Reaver Knights.

At the back of the pack is a generic High Elf mounted hero in dragon armour.

I'm agreeing with plague marine - but what happened to him?

Apparently a lot of the posterboys for the "thin your paints" meme are made by a select handful of guys who keep on making godawful paintjob after godawful paintjob and for some reason believe that the Internet should be allowed to see their "masterpieces."

The thought of all that being paint instead of a mishap with green stuff frightens me.

My old manager once told me he had some kid bring his "Space Ball" which turned out to be a single Space Marine that had been sprayed with an entire can of GW black primer.
