Well I have many ranger and I dislike old (finally I can say they are old) mirkwood elf, but I want to do an army of Noldor exules and similar.

I think to change weapons with some of more elfic...and boh I've not other idea


probably this will be the paint scheme

I guess the paintwork would look amazing if you do you're whole army like that. So, why you don't try the new elves that come out Saterday as replacements? (still, I like the idea of elfish rangers, a few weapon swaps and pale skin could do some neat tricks)

Well I like new elf, but they are too much for me: maybe I'll buy one box.

I think they all look great and some variation between the daggers work better for me than having them the same.

The daggers are a very effective change to the models.

Your typing has come out a bit odd, can you explain any further what you want?

To make him more elf-like greens and golds are your best friend, but I think you're fighting a losing battle. It will be near impossible to really make these rangers look like elves.

The clothing of the rangers is not at all Elf like (it's not your fault that's just how they were sculpted) and their physical proportions are quite different

Haha, yes, they do look a bit like normal dudes wearing Assassins robes. It's a pity, because the conversions would make some great alternate Rangers with a more dark and dirty colour scheme. I do like the knives. :)

If you still want some Noldorin exiles - why not try to use the new Mirkwood Rangers? A couple of weapon conversions to give them swords rather than the Mirkwood paired daggers and you might be onto a winner with the white and grey colours.

The tree and the webs look good. I like what you did with the daggers too.
