Michael J. Tresca gave 4 stars to: Dark Elf Warrior (1) Miniature

Michael J. Tresca reviewed:


Dark Elf Warrior (1) Miniature by Reaper Miniatures


4.0 out of 5 stars a great sculpt for any drow, May 18, 2014


One of the brilliant things about Bobby Jackson's elf sculpts is that they don't look like humans with pointed ears. This dark elf warrior is part of a line of long-limbed drow. Their armor is full of flourishes with plenty of leather wraps. This theme will continue with the entire dark elf line. In this case, the aforementioned warrior has two angular short swords at the ready.



I painted all the drow using a mixture of shades of purple, white hair, and black skin. It's difficult to paint leather straps on characters like this without some of the tools the professionals use, so I rely primarily on shading to make up the difference.



Although this miniature can really be for any elf (the long-limbed proportions are in line with other elf sculpts from Reaper), it's a great sculpt for any drow.
