A standard bearer from a Tehnolog figure, otherwise as it comes. He's all there is so far!!!  |

I need to pay more attention to the Tehnolog figures. I was put off when I realized they were so bulky compared to other figures. Now I'm thinking that I should not have dismissed them so lightly.

I think you can get them to work altfritz. I agree they are bulky especially the feet (presumably so they can stand up better). But they can be adapted to work. I've got a few of the elf figures that I am converting to humans due to their heft but I've kept the heads for other figures. Here's a pic of some elf conversions I did a while ago using those cheap crappy knight figures. They are quite skinny but suit what I think of for elves. I gave them falchion style weapons for a bit of different look Not that happy with the paint job really but I don't have time to spend repainting things yet!  |

Elves look great to me, painting worked well.

Ditto - they really do look the business!

I like the falchions better than those LOTR swords, actually. I'm still getting my head around all the variations in scale between figures. |

Thanks everyone I may yet go back with a metallic green or something... tidy up the faces a bit too....or forget about it and go on to the next thing!

Some sort of oriental giant based on the human copse hanging there. Do you remember the maker?

Not by me. Could have been created that way I guess? |

sorry just realised I am in the orc section Nice figures. Are they intended as Dark Elves? I am wanting to put together a Dark Elf army for my fantasy campaign. I do have Dark Elves in 28mm but want large figures. Another source for them are the True Legends elf archers and warrior women (for Wyches) but they are closer to 50mm. For wargame rules I would follow the Warhammer idea of fast warriors pretty handy with bows and fortified with monsters. |

For wargame rules I would follow the Warhammer idea of fast warriors pretty handy with bows and fortified with monsters. thanks! Yes I painted them up to be a bit dark-elfish. But I might repaint in a dark metallic green or something so I can use them for different forces. Pretty much just a head swap on a set of cheap knights and scratch built blades. I made a squad of 10 pretty quickly. I'd like to get a set of those true legends figures but shipping makes these (and others) not really worth it. I might have to start a trade list here or something Please let us know when you've put your army together. I really enjoy your blog btw |
