High Elves & Christmas Freebie: We Need Your Ideas
Hey folks,
I’m back with more questions 😊
In a few days I need to start sculpting the miniature we’ll be giving away with web orders over the Christmas period. Do you have any ideas of what you’d like to see? We don’t usually go for a Christmas theme, because everyone does it and I feel it doesn’t have much value afterwards beyond the joke. So you’re welcome to suggest things that are Christmas-themed or not, whatever you prefer.
On top of that, next week I’ll post the High Elves poll so we can decide what to sculpt, so this is also a good moment to drop your suggestions.
I’m all ears 🙂

Hola, chicos.
Sigo con las preguntas 😊
En unos días tengo que ponerme con la escultura de la miniatura que regalaremos con las compras de la web durante las navidades. ¿Tenéis alguna idea de algo que os gustaría? No solemos darle temática navideña, porque todo el mundo lo hace y creo que luego tampoco tiene un gran valor más allá de la broma. Así que podéis sugerir cosas que la tengan o que no la tengan, como prefiráis.
Por otro lado, la próxima semana os pondré la encuesta de Altos Elfos para ver qué esculpimos, así que también es un buen momento para dejar vuestras sugerencias.
Os leo 🙂

Kislev or Slavic type elves
Hola! Y un vampiro del clan dragón sangriento rollo Aborash! 😝
Hola....me uno a la petición de que es buena fecha para una mini tipo Kislev....y así dar pie a un futuro ejercito vuestro de esta tematica.... Muchas gracias!!!
someone said roman themed high elves and i think that's great! Or do a "kislev" themed army and beat you know who to it.
I suggest an “elf on a shelf” theme. Maybe an Elf assassin waiting in a high ledge for their victim?
How about Leon Todmeister and his “Fantabulously Far-reaching Harquebus of Unforeseeable and Unperceived Bereavement”?
Sueño con dos cosas desde que me suscribí... -Un rey fénix realmente impresionante (aunque entiendo si algo así debiera ser pago en vez de un regalo). -Caballos élficos con y sin armaduras, para poder armar buenas conversiones montadas.
As for high elves - if its continuing the lion theme - peltasts, or toxotes archers with option for the little sheilds like this: https://www.puttyandpaint.com/projects/28027
For the Christmas miniature/s, consider paying homage to the origins of Santa Claus with Saint Nicolas / Sinterklass, which would resemble the modern Santa with his beard but also fit in well in the human armies. If you want to make a diorama you can add in his trusty horse or donkey, and his coal giving sidekick Père Fouettard (the sinister hooded version). There's also Italy's La Befana, the Christmas witch, who could fit in with the Italian inspired mercenaries coming out in December
Y plantear alguna figura que pueda tener un extra para navidad pero no ser usado para Navidad exclusivamente, por ejemplo si en un carro elfo o de lo que sea con un personaje en plan héroe, peeero que pueda cambiar el caco armas para q acabe pareciendo navideño el carro pues lleve unos bits que puedas poner a modo de regalos y cuernos para la montura y q parezcan renos cómicos
Christmas-themed Corpse Cart !
Halflings Fighting Cooks 😍
More classical looking Elf heavy cavalry, Merewyrm, the council + dragon archmage in stl, Ranges with a more lion theme (longbow/great axe) light or heavy armour. A bolt thrower drawn by an eagle and most importantly a huge dragon!
For elves make a merewyrm that isn't hideous like Trish's
Given Old World's recent inclusion of a baggage cart or baggage train i can't help but think of a Santa sleigh inspired gift cart. Perhaps a Radagast rabbit sleigh model only slightly suggestive with a few packages on the sleigh. Good empire baggage cart or dual purpose for LoTR
Elven zombies and a necromancer with a long (white) beard and a sack with bodyparts. It's the joke AND its usable, everybody wins!
Something winter themed, rather than holiday themed, maybe? A cool take on the abominable snow man or a Wendigo?
For high elf poll — move The Council from cast to STL.
High Elf Phalanx
Roman themed high elves!
Djed Mraz o Ded Moroz es un "papá Noel" eslavo que puede funcionar perfectamente para sacerdote o boyardo kislevita. No tiene data de caducidad. Dicho esto, yo hace tiempo que quiero ver una banda de Hermanas de Sigmar con vuestro sello de calidad.
Perfect time to introduce a “Kislev” army.
Avernia Wolf High Priest or Ogre/Dwarf/Elf mercenary captain would be awesome!
Do a tribute to Elric of melnibone in his dragon armour with stormbringer
Una Lucrezzia Belladona? Un zar montado en oso? Una zarina de hielo?
Una versión de Crampus con niños en su saco siempre os podría encajar como personaje de los hombres bestia😜
Hummmm maybe you can search how different cultures celebrate winter and/or christmas, and try to mix it with the most appropiate fantasy race with that culture!
Treekin sled pulled by roedeer, with optional head for the elf in the sled.(if you want to go down the Santa road.) EDIT: if you want another human wizzard you could do a "Snegurochka" (Santas helper - also opens up a Eastern European angle. Your sculpts are great so I think both options below are great too.
A mí me gustaría un capitán mercenario rollo lanskenete como las minis de lanskenete con arma a Dos manos o con alabarda, pero con más caché
Definitely something to support the Dogs of War/Renegade Crowns theme! How about some charecters on foot, to go with sturdy infantry blocks? Or how about a DoW catapult? Something that screams "Death by Boulder" without looking very Bretonnian? Or maby some generic DoW warmachine crews to go with a multitude of available warmachine models already available (Cannon/bombard/catapult)
A beastmen lord with antlers or crown of antlers would hit both the theme and a need for magic item
