Mordheim: Elf Mage

These past two weeks saw me finishing up the highlights on the Mordheim Elf Mage for my Highelf Army as well as building the miniatures for a new project: Halflings, Wild Elves and Monsters from ArcWorlde.

I took my time with this model to really paint it up to a high standart for me and do it justice. The sculpt is from 2004 and really holds up well - you'd expect nothing less from a Juan Diaz scuplt. With the staff and the right hand outstreched, he looks like he can hold his own on the road (and also a bit like a Jedi...). As planned, the colours are similar to my Shadow Warriors, but I added more red to the lining of the cloak to tie him in with the rest of my High Elves.

I also got myself a nice little package from Warploque Miniatures, a small business around Alex Huntley, who designs the miniatures as well as the rule to use them with: ArcWorlde - The Narrative Fantasy Battle Game. I fell in love with the style of the miniatures, which are all hand-scuplted. You can really feel the human touch they have! Stand outs have to be the big Forest Dragon, the creepy and lanky Wild Elves and of course the Mjowls – relatives of gryphons but put together from owls and cats; amazingly cute!

  1. The white looks a bit flat but again, I love your skin and hair tones. Forest dragon looks interesting!

    1. Yes, the whites are difficult - to paint as well as to photograph...

  2. Nice work, gosh I miss Mordheim :-( I wash a little light blue/grey into my crisp whites. Shades them nicely and more subtly than the usual nuln oil/sepia bomb I also tend to let off.

    1. Thanks! Yes, the whites are shaded with a light grey - but I will try mixing in a splash of blue, that sounds great!
