CHARACTERFUL HIGH ELF ARCHER UNIT CHAMPIONS (HAWKEYES)

Hawkeye 1: This Hawkeye was built as per a standard archer from the plastic sprue with a few additions. The head was replaced with one from the Mage sprue. Next, a quiver of arrows and sword in scabbard from the Lord sprue were added to the model. These simple additions take your once rank-and-file model to the next level as it becomes easily identifiable as a Hawkeye.

Hawkeye 2: The second Hawkeye is a bit more fierce. The bow arm form the Lord sprue has an armored shoulder and detailed bow. Add to this a head from the Mage sprue, and you've got a nice Hawkeye model for a unit of archers.

USING LORD/MAGE SPRUE BITS TO MAKE NOBLES AND MAGES

Noble: Modelling isn't limited to projects involving plastic on plastic. This metal High Elf Hero has been fitted with spell book from the Mage sprue. Once a Hero armed with a simple bow, you can now imagine that this Noble possesses a magic item that allows him to cast spells, like the Radiant Gem of Hoeth for example. His unused metal bow arm can now be used to model a Hawkeye.

Mage: When modelling, don't limit yourself! Here, we've modeled a standard High Elf Archer into a full-fledged Mage Hero choice by adding two arms and a head from the Mage sprue. This means you could potentially make three or more Mages from just one Mage sprue with some careful planning!
