I finished the 5 remaining Witch Elves of this group. They're originally painted for my High Elves army , but they're also usable for my Daughters of Khaine army ( Dark Elves ).

The command group ( Musician , Champion and Standard-bearer ).

 And the troops.

And a group of 10 Witch Elves is finished !

Daughters of Khaine : Melusai Blood Stalker test-model finished !

 I finished the test-model for my Melusai yesterday. When I took pictures today , I saw I forgot to paint the handle of the bow. This has been corrected and painted , but I didn't make new pictures.

 It got more colorful than intended at first , but it works I think.

What do you think? All comments are welcome !

Daughters of Khaine : Sorceress finished !

Yesterday I finished my first model for my Daughters of Khaine army.

I've painted Witch Elves before , but they're integrated in my High Elves army.

 I used a hero base for this one. I chose the pillar one as there are more models that are standing on pillars within this army.

High Elves : Witch Elves finished !

 Last week I managed to finish these 5 Witch Elves. They're painted in my usual purple paint scheme.

Except for the hair , that's new. I wanted these Witches to stand out more than my other ones. ( Tray will be based when the group is finished ( 10 models ))

They will be integrated in my High Elves army as all Dark Elves models that are already painted.

 My other Witch Elves for comparison. ( plastic version )

Painted so far : 226

High Elves Black Guard finished !

Today I finished the Black Guard Elves from yesterday's paint table.

And they're magnetized on the base.

The Black Guard of Naggarond - or just Black Guard are the personal regiments of the Witch King Malekith. As well as being Malekith's personal guard they form the elite forces of Naggarond's garrison. Their primary weapons are halberds and are equipped with heavier armour than the civilian forces. They are the Dark Elves' greatest infantry unit, feared for their discipline and great hatred.

The Black Guard are recruited at birth from families in the Witch King's favour. These children are then educated at one of twenty Tower barracks. The would-be guards are routinely visited by the Witch King himself.

At graduation each aspirant swears fealty to the Witch King for a period of 200 years. Those that survive this tour are rewarded with lands and wealth, many then becoming rulers, generals and members of Malekith's court. Some Dark Elves choose to remain as Black Guard beyond the 200 years, of these the twenty greatest are the Tower Masters.

A status of rivalry exists between the twenty towers; annually, during the Season of Blood, the tower masters host a tournament, the winning Tower dominates the force for that year. Life at these institutions is brutal and it is not unheard of that half of a given round of recruits perishes before their graduation.

 And a family picture with some other High Elves groups.

 The Swordmasters of Hoeth & the Maiden Guard.
