They are a little dated, probably have some 10 years on their back now. I recently bought some Mirkwood Rangers from the new Hobbit range, and man what a difference! I'll be posting them sometime soon, so you'll be able to see for yourself. But, if you're starting a elvish army from scratch, I'd probably go with some of the Hobbit range elves, they are lightyears better.Black Powderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04811405795071310375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-63507245734205648512015-10-03T22:01:29.885-07:002015-10-03T22:01:29.885-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.KGatch113https://www.blogger.com/profile/03237726465823851144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083471581529421888.post-52239291660330695122015-10-03T21:49:09.064-07:002015-10-03T21:49:09.064-07:00First, your figures look great!
