Hi guys

I am going to create a female Dark Elf team, and am looking for some good models to use as a basis.

Currently I have stumbled upon the following:

http://www.miniature-giant.com/female-adult-Reaper-dark-heaven-legends-warlord-race-c-159.html

http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/collections/ELF/2/index.asp

http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/indexeng.html

They look pretty hot, but I want Darker! Like Gothic/S&M/Anime or such...

Twisted Evil

Can anyone link me to some nice models? Also, perhaps mix & match to get a good model for each position*?

Very Happy

* alrighty, feel free to be amused by this choice of words!

Painted right, the Howling Banshee Exarch could work very well.

Or most Dark Eldar Wych models, especially KRUELLAGH THE VILE

I personally like hasslefree miniatures, but I think you already had a couple minis from HFM on there. Kalee is the favourite ofcourse.

Also check the Forum of Doom (Link at HFM) for other companies that produce fantasy football minis and other daemonic stuff. Hope it helps!

You might as well look at the Dark Elfes from Shadowforge. I think they are really good.

Here´s a link:

Woo, thanks dude. A good bud just gave me a link where you can get the whole set together!

These'll look awesome with all the staff present!

Will go for the custom ones later, after this set Wink

Well if you're looking for female bloodbowl miniatures Shadowforge has some really dynamic ones.

I think both of us now referred to the Shadowforge Dark Elfes and they indeed look awesome!

I´m playing the female Orcs in our league and plan to use the Darkies next season!

When I read the Blood Bowl trilogy, and read about the Crusaders, a bunch of drag queens done up as nuns, all I could think of were the Shadowforge Nuns team. I think they'd be perfect.

However, on all of the minis other than the shadowforge ones, while they're lovely minis, I think they'd be absolutely terrible for blood bowl without some MAJOR conversions done to them. And such conversions might destroy the mini, so I recomend not doing it.

They look really cool. It's a pity they also look like they were designed.... well... almost too kinky. Such nice models but they dont look like a "real" bloodbowl team.

Shocked Edit: the elf team there is truly gorgeous. I thought it was just the bunny team (and they're pretty stunning) but.... wow.

Yeah kinky is good! Never mind realism!

Would'nt it be cheating if the blitzers had wings??? I mean they would be impossible to catch if they got the ball...

One thing of note about your picks above, Pasmochai... I think that you'll wind up with some pretty widely varying scales. I could be wrong and I haven't seen most of them up close and personal, but I think that Freebooter minis are a bit larger while some of the others - like Hasslefree - are a bit smaller.

I think that you might get a more consistent team if you're sticking to one or two lines... I think that Reaper and Shadowforge are on about the same scale, for example. If you can find anyone with several of the minis you're looking at, you might want to ask for a group shot to show the relative sizes.
