REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 408

Palace Guard Captains

December 2013·p. 17

THE SHORT VERSION

Two experienced guards lead the king’s personal protectors. A helmeted officer raises his sword to direct the advance. The other is bareheaded and grips a blade with both hands. More ornate armour and shields distinguish them while preserving the regiment’s visual identity.

Mirkwood Rangers

Ten differently posed plastic Elves carry curved bows and leaf-bladed knives. Crouching, turning and tracking poses convey a loose woodland warband. Clever assembly creates overlapping fabric without making construction difficult. Adam connects those details to their role patrolling the forest against the Necromancer’s creatures.

Palace Guards

Ten armoured Elves contrast with the Rangers through formal poses and concealed faces. Six carry spears and four have blades with shields. Two extra shields offer further equipment choices. Layered armour and swirling cloaks portray the disciplined guardians of Thranduil’s court.
