Having some trouble tracking down some High Elves bits. Can anyone recommend bits sites they've had good experiences with of late?
Cheers.

What a kind response thank you. I will post up my idea.
AoS friends a few thoughts/questions if you would.
I am brainstorming up a concept for my Stormcast. I am going to do an homage to the first army I ever owned. A heavily Chrace based 5th edition High Elves army.
My idea is that the entire host is reforged Aelfen warrior souls from the World that Was (Saved by Teclis in some way before the calamity for bonus points)
I am hoping to use White Lion heads for my Paladins and Vanguard Hunters (who will look delightfully Chracian with their pelts) Dragon Prince heads for my Dracoth riders
Shadow Warrior heads for my Judicators and Spearmen heads and shield reliefs on the Liberators.
I was thinking of using White Lions from the Chariots for Gryph Hounds.
The centrepiece would be a reimagining of Eltharion the Grim on Stormclaw combining a Stormcast rider with Aelfen bits on the Empire Griffon as my Stardrake "Counts as"
So my questions to you are, thoughts? potential problems? Best source of these (or better suiting) bits?Other cool concepts I could use/be inspired by?
Some folks have expressed concern over the Eltharion concept being problematic but he was a favourite of childhood me so I'm hoping I can pull it off. I am trying to think up a reforged Imrik on Stardrake idea as a backup.
Thanks again for the kind offers of assistance.

Ebay can be a good, if inconsistent source. For another idea, it shouldn't be too difficult to press mold heads if you are into that side of things. Or sculpt pointy ears on bare stormcast heads, even!

I chose an avatar I feel best represents the quality of my post history.
I try to view Warhammer as more of a toolbox with examples than fully complete games. |

Thanks. That would be really helpful. It hurts my efforts that there weren't more dual kit Elves before AoS.

Well, now i'm hoping i didn't promise too much. I've managed to find some spearmen heads and lots of wood elf heads* as well as some shadow warrior arms and suchlike. Would any of that be useful? Also, would you like me to send you a pm with a picture? Or post it here?

No worries. Given the sheer numbers I need I really can't proceed until a bit seller restocks (assuming they still support AoS bits)
If you need some bits we can work something out for some Spearmen heads if you like.
Cheers.
Jason.
