Feanorian Hero for Midgard Silmarillion Elf Army

Here is the first hero base for my Midgard Silmarillion Elf army. The army represents the warhost of Caranthir the Dark, son of Feanor.

As it's a Feanorian army I have avoided my usual Elf colour scheme of blues, silvers and purples and have gone with a rich red scheme as befitting a son of Feanor. The two core colours are Foundry Madder Red (surcoats) and Foundry Brick Red (shields, cloaks). The yellows are Foundry Ochre.

The models here are Copplestone 1990s Elf sculpts, originally Grenadier Miniatures, but purchased from Forlorn Hope and Battlezone here in the Uk a few years back (and still available!)

The shield design was done on Pages on my MacBook using a star symbol, converted to JPEG, transferred to Word and resized. It was printed on plain white paper at 5mm width, cut out (VERY carefully!) and glued on. It's not 100% correct as a symbol and as Caranthir is son of Feanor, should be oriented as a square not a diamond. But diamonds look better, so diamond it is! 

Banner hand painted and features the star of Feanor plus Laurelin the Golden Tree of the Valar.

4th Century BC Republican Romans - Antepilani (Proto-Hastati)

 The first of my 4th Century BC Republican Romans (Latin, Etruscan, Gallic and Samnite wars in Italy). Victrix plastics. These will be used for a home-written Dux Britanniarum variant and for the upcoming Midgard rules.

Captain Josiah C Ford, Texas Rangers

 The second Ranger for my What a Cowboy Texas Ranger posse, circa 1858. Painted this guy with an ex-army background and deliberately set out to make the colours richer and more vibrant to make him stand out as posse leader. Really pleased with the effect!
