Due to my blogs in the blog subforum getting buried by 40k blogs, I'm posting this here. This blog will cover all my projects with mantic Miniatures. Mostly this is kings of war based, but there may be other things thrown in. Anywho, more exposition later. Now some pictures!

The beginning of my new elven army for an escalation league starting up in the spring.

The name for the army is the children of Galahir.

Nice - I put together a new elf army for Clash of Kings this year, I'm a big fan of the plastic archers and especially the spearmen.
What are the miniatures in the first post? Looks like a mix of Chaos/Varangur together with some kind of undead?

Chaos made into Varangur and various arcane legions models

There is not this idea.

The first are Salamanders, right? The green and gold look good, as does the lava base.

That is bone, isn't it? Heh, sorry, I was looking on a tablet when I wrote that. Looks even better up close.

No apology needed, just clarifying.

Alrighty guys. Painting delayed on the elves due to more pressing projects, but I hope to get back into it over the weekend.

In other news, recieved my TMS miniatures shabti unit for my empires of dust/undead coalition. Great quality, well worth saving up for more.

Bit quiet in here, a shame really. Maybe some close ups could fix that? Its pretty hard to comment on the minis atm because its just quite hard to see anything.

So I found these elephants at the dollar store today. I'm currently deciding how to convert them to fit either as mumakil for my 1/72 Lord of the rings project or as something else.

Options I've come up with

1. Wrapping it up in greenstuff mummy wrapping and add tomb Kings parts..

2. Convert with bits to make a standard "beast chained and used by evil humans" vibe

3. also standard conversion for use with historicals.

4. Go buy two more later and use reclaimed wood and paint to make book ends.


They are made of fairly ridged plastic so any of these is doable.

I love the idea of the bandaged 'mummy elephant'!

No idea how hard it would be to do, but will be interested to see what you manage with him!

Look forward to seeing this - sounds like the kind of thing that would drive me insane trying to do, but could look great if done well!

Is that from the Mojo kickstarter? I'm still waiting on mine.

Your elves look good. Are you leaving the shields blank or doing freehand or transfers? Does Mantic include transfers in their kits?
