Here's another work in progress post for the high elf spearmen I'm working on. These guys are taking forever, but I'm getting close. I knew it would be a challenge, and I've been away from the painting table for a little bit, so its taking longer than it should. The big problem with this batch is that I'm going to have to do it again as I have at least another 40 to be assembled and painted if I ever want to get my high elf army completed.
Every time I go back to these guys I'm reminded of a commission I did back in high school. I painted up a batch of high elf spear men from whatever fantasy box was out at the time. That was way before washes, foundations and coloured primers, and I recall that it nearly drove me insane. But that was before I really enjoyed painting, and I was just doing it for the extra hobby money that the painting would bring...
