About the Project

This project has been languishing for years now, and the new Spring Cleaning Hobby Challenge, has encouraged me to get them done. I have a goodly amount to do, but I have a bit of a head start. I did start this ages ago as you can see by the few units painted up in the colour scheme that I've chosen; Red, Black, Grey, with silver armour. Not pictured are the Rivendell Knights that I picked up a while ago, 2nd hand, cheap as dirt, and they aren't worth much more than I paid for them, I paid nothing for them, and yes that means they'll need a lot of work.

Finally back to the project

May 21 2022

Okay, so after like six weeks, I can actually make a start on the project.
I did get distracted by My 40k; Adding a Redemptor Dreadnought, oh and a Multi-melta Contemptor in a drop pod. That’s all done, and until the Cataphractii come out in their new box, I have time to try and get this done.
I did say the Archer Regiments were next, and so started them today, first by making six companies worth of them black, and then adding the colours. I got one company done before I had to stop for dinner. Thankfully, while the sky seems to be falling(It’s so wet), the airbrush had no issues making them all black again, and even getting me a head start on the armour.

Half are back to Black

Where I'll be starting.

Apr 2 2022

I don’t even remember when I started this project, but I was working towards 1000 points. I think the group set some limits on the number of characters you could have, and for such a low points level I think it was one major hero, or two minor heroes. I went with Elladan and Elrohir, each one in a regiment of three companies of High Elf Warriors, backed up by a pair of High Elf Archer regiments, and led by a High Elf Cohort. Shown here is the two regiments of Warriors, with Elladan and Elrohir, that were painted at the start. Next up I think will be the High Elf Archers. It’s a very simple paint job.
