Teeeeeeeerific They are absolutely wonderful and just exactly wot I've been wanting for ages You’re welcome Now the next thing to is to adapt the artwork to suit Elves. Well as this set is kinda based on YOUR idea I have special bonus for you! You can "build/setup" your very own, unique Elven Chariot figurine:- just pick cart you like the most, then mount (unicorn or pegasus), Elven warrior, then pick banner (you may want to add your name/nick or name of your RPG character on it) and shield (if applicable)
- next - you can pick main colour (now it's blue or green but feel free and choose for example purple or red for Blood Elves?)
- decide wherever it should be grounded or flying figurine
Then: - I'll make such unique figurine for you (you will receive direct code or download link)
- I'll prepare some free version (changed/twicked, so your's will remain unique) based on your setup available for all CWF members
OK?

Modding the Elven chariots" - greenish (mount) and red/blood figurines version
- "cloudy" basing
- two 'Red Squadron' Elves on deck!
- no cart's wings
Special 'cloudy' base system (no outline for base support and unified main base texture) for flying chariots! included (then obviously something went wrong with second figurine and banner outlines...;_)

OK? After much thinking I've decided that I would like this chariot and Elf...... .............. but with all the gold and bronze tones changed to silver. I would like the chariot to keep its wheels, but I would like it as a flying chariot. As for the shield I would like it to be white and to have this symbol on it......... Yes it's the 'Eye of Isha' from 5th Edition Warhammer High Elves. I actually have this tattooed on my left arm which just goes to show how heavily I was into being a High Elf player way back then. A banner with the 'Eye of Isha' on it would be nice to have too so long as it doesn't make the chariot look too 'busy'. Next I would like the chariot to be drawn by this Pegasus....... ..............and again I would like the gold tonings on wings, mane and tail to be silver to match the chariot. If you could create such a chariot for me mesper I'd be absolutely delighted

After doing some plain paper draft copies of the chariots and running a ruler over them I decided to print them out at 115% which to my eyes at least makes them look better alongside other minis.

Something like this one perhaps? New/changed:- Horse armour added (so the whole figurine looks IMHO more balanced)
- Eye Of Isha shield
- Banner added (as 'Eye' is rather tall/long so rectangular banner is used)
- New 'solar' full-metal wheel added - IMO looks just better than ordinary wooden ones
I'm not sure regarding shaft - perhaps it should be also metal/silver? BTW I can make both made ground (grass or sand) and 'cloudy' base in final version, so figurine will be more universal What's your opinion? Let me know if you have any further suggestions/ideas, so I can add B-side and tabs

Oh I really do like what you've done mesper. Yes I do think the chariot shaft should be silver as well, but otherwise everything is perfect. I particularly like the shield and banner, and the banner in that style is excellent and fits exactly with what I had in mind. I love what you've done with the chariot wheel too. Making the chariot in both ground versions and sky versions would be great and would fit in with how I see this chariot will be played in a game. The background for this character is that she is a half blood Sky Elf with High Elf family ties which means that she is well able to fight both in the air and on the ground. I have yet to name her, but I have high hopes for her being a very special and intrepid she-Elf indeed. Thankyou so much for doing this for me it really does mean a lot.

Done! (Please check PM for full-size 300DPI PDF file direct download link) There are 2 versions: 'flying' and 'grounded' I've also added specific for this mini-set accessories: banner and 2-sided shield, so you can mod/enhance your other minis. Preview: Enjoy! Mesper

I am one thrilled to bits papercrafter Waking up this morning to find this special present waiting for me was delightful and I can hardly wait to print out the PDF and start to assemble it. The extra banner and shield artwork will be very useful too as I can't have my intrepid Sky Elf buzzing about on her own without at least one wingman to keep her out of trouble. Edit: My half-blood Sky Elf will be named 'Fainthel', which translates as 'Cloud Sister' in Sindarin. (sigh) Yes I really am that much of an Elf fan girl

Mesper I think this is some of your finest work! these look amazing!! your my new HEro!! and not a B one either ! I completely agree Now that I have my HP Photosmart printer up and running properly I'm able to print out PERMES Elf PDFs in rich HD 600dpi colour and they are utterly beautiful. I'm getting some ideas for creating Sky Elf minis, only with my inability to draw anything don't hold your breath waiting for them. With the the Sindarin name thing I had a go at translating my own name and got 'Tinnunith' which means 'Twilight Sister'. Here's an Elf name generator which is a lot of fun to play with........

wildagreenboughI had a go at it! I chose to generate it off my own name, Anne Thornton, and major relationship. I got: My elf name is:Acharndis
Meaning: Vengeance (acharn) Bride (dîs) (acharn+dîs)Hubby better watch out tonight!!!

Uh... just what kind of elves are these Sindarin, anyway?
I try for a random name, and I get this:
My elf name is: Daedheldis Meaning: Shadow of Horror (dae+del) Bride (dîs) (daedhel+dîs)
o.O
Am I just cursed?

Sindarin is one of the Elf languages that Tolkien created When I did my name I used my first name and surname and for relationship I entered brother/sister. I must say though that 'Daedheldis' isn't exactly the sort of name that would make you popular among Elf-kind

Well, it shows you that it's been too long since I've actually re-read my Tolkien with the number of knockoffs in the fantasy marketplace, I couldn't tell the difference, and began assuming it was a wargames' version. Also shows you just how sleep deprived in getting. Lol

Lol Don't worry it's about time I re-read my Tolkien too mesper you're going to hate me and my bright ideas, but I thought it would be really good if some of the winged steeds from the Elf Cavalry set and the winged creatures from the Elf Ambush set could be modified to have flying bases. Of course this has nothing at all to do with a plot for Sky Elves to take over the Worlds of Fantasy

Well my Sindarin name turned out to be Braigon - Meaning: Wild/Fierce (braig) Male (on) (braig+on) No stereotypes about the Scots in there then......

come on Mesper whats your elf name??? you can't fly through the sky in awesome chariots like these if you don't have an elf name! Hmm... have to agree with Anne, these must be some darkish/grim tribe Elves! So here's my elf name for Przemysław: Rútthor
Meaning: Anger (ruth) Brother (tôr) (ruth+tôr) For Przemek: Morgulchanar
Meaning: Black Magic/Necromancy (morgul) Brother (hanar) (morgul+hanar) Perhaps I should try one more time with second name or without 'brother' EDIT: Oh, forgot to check it for Mesper LOL
