Snowy Fuend Night with Aiwëlos

This is Aiwëlos, one of my bolt thrower crew and also my elf/human diplomat. Right now he’s serving Lord Lorou of Fuend Island, a Brettonian chap, for kicks. Fuend has a pretty cold winter, but in the castle with a good fire it’s pretty warm. I don’t know why he’s posing in the window, though.

Elfin (and Turmith)

Yay! Something that turned out! If you don’t remember them these two heads are representative of my Silver Helm guys. Turmith, or at least part of him that was abandoned due to NOT turning out, is on the left. Elfin is on the right, sans armour… and what a handsome fellow he is. So earnest looking. He’s my favourite. Here’re the minis, to remind you: Turmith, Elfin.

Pillar of Ivory

These guys are the Pillar of Ivory, which Penlod has command over, also the Tower of Snow or something. So Penlod is the shaggy-headed guy in front with a double shield. I hollowed out a helmet for him. I put too much green stuff on his head for his hair. His face is the Silver Helm unhelmeted head; I had a spare, and that face is the most handsome that I have. The shields are all decals done in Photoshop and printed on decal paper, with a bit of Dad’s help. The banner, though, was painted by hand.

I also put hair on all the other guys, as well. Hopefully it looks better than all those scraggly Minas Tirith warriors in the movie. I always thought the Warhammer High Elf Spearmen looked like dressed up apes, but I managed to paint them to downsize this aspect – unlike their professional ‘Eavy Metal team, which painted it professional style, which made them uglier.

I’ll just point out that Penlod died in the story. Darn.

I really like this unit. I’ll have to get another for the Tower of Snow guys now.
