How to make some High Elf conversions

The Horde Lord · **Joined:** Wed Feb 23, 2011 6:58 pm **Posts:** 301

Ok, so I have started a High elf army (doesen't really go with my username but) and I have figuered that I will need to give a lot of my regular warriors shields instead of elven blades. I wonder if anyone has any ideas or experiance in this area. BTW, I have seen a shield making article so I can probably get shields without having to take them from the blister packs.

Here's one from ukfreddybear from way back. You'll find the picture in the middle of the page.

There was a conversion article on TLA, but I can't find it anymore.

Thans for the tip, but it's only a picture which gives some help, but I think I will need a little more help. Thanks again.

I wanted some sheilds in my force also so I cut their arms off and used greenstuff to hide the gaps. The spears are made from elven blades and urukhai pikes.

Where did you get the shields?

I've had them for years, warhammer lizardmen sheilds. GW still sell them though http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catal ... rod1290038

The funny thing Is that 9 years ago I bought some lizardmen in the belief that they could be used as Cave Trolls. Obviously they couldn't, so I traded them away for a goblin command.

Nice conversions by the way.

I still have the article in Word format. If you PM me your email address I can send it to you. I also have several spare High elf shields available for trade.

Thanks UKFB, I have sent you a PM, can't wait to read it.

Righto. I'll send the article to you. I should point out it was done when I was quite new to the hobby, so don't expect the minis to be up to my usual standard of work! I also did some converted spearmen. These pics were during the WIP phase, although I have tidied the joints up and made the blades more elf-like with putty since then:

Although they have spears, you can just as easily use the blades instead of spears.

Those are beutiful conversations, especially number 2 and 4 from the left.

Very nice. Can you post them painted?

I will once I get around to them. Had Glorfindel been voted as the March painting mini I probably would have concentrated on my High Elves.
