Elven Heroes: Elladan, Elrohir and Glorfindel

The first real post of the year starts of in Middle-earth with three more mounted heroes for my Rivendell army. After finishing those, I also did some work basecoating five Knights and Elrond to lead them all. And I finished the three Questoris Knights and the Acastus Porphyrion for my Adeptus Titanicus / Legions Imperialis collection.

The first few finished miniatures of the year are these three heroes to lead my Rivendell Knights: Elladan and Elrohir, the sons of Elrond as well as the older sculpt of Glorfindel. It took me quite some time to finish them – somehow I found the brightly coloured horses difficult. I'm still not quite happy with Asfaloth, the white horse Glorfindel is riding. For now, it will have to do. But I might go back once I figured out a better way to do it with the newer sculpt and the two Arwen models on horseback.

Next up will be some warriors for all these heroes to lead. I started with the first half of my Rivendell Knights and finished their basecolours.

And of course while I was at the basecoating stage with these five, I also did the same for the Finecast Elrond on horseback. I hope to finish this lot rather soon, so I can get to the other six Knights as well as even more heroes.

Lastly, I also finished up the four Adeptus Titanicus Knights I had finished at the end of last year. I'm really happy with the three Questoris Knights and the Acastus Porphyrion and I'm looking forward to using them in an upcoming game to stand alongside my Blood Angels and Legio Solaria.
