Dark Elves 2.0

It's been a while since I've written something here, but it has it's reasons. I recently became a father and I've had less time to post.

I just wanted to update you on my current Dark Elves 2.0-project.

I started with the linemen and here's the first one

First lineman
I'm really happy with the 2nd ed style and decided to go for a 2nd ed team in plastic.

Three linemen and a runner (without the helmet)
I need to fill the gaps with greenstuff and sculpt some features on the runner, but I'm happy with them.

I then started to look for a color scheme and tried a Renegades scheme.


But once I tried it, the result wasn't that great. Too much yellow.

Renegaes color scheme
I had a look again and I liked the Darkside Cowboys-color scheme


and this time I made the sensible thing and started with a small piece instead of a complete miniature.


Feeling confident, I started with the actual miniature

First painted lineman
I still need to highlight the black and I'm also going to highlight the blue some more, but I'm happy with the result.

I also put a blitzer together and I'm liking this team. Can't wait to have them done and on the pitch.
My goal is to be able to play with the at EuroBowl 2016 in Sweden.
