nine09nueve Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 The Elf Battle Chariot - gift to the Forest Elves from their High born cousins - designed to both transport important leaders speedily across the battlefield and to add a bit more punch to their light cavalry. Often encountered when they are found fighting outside of the forests, it is very much the centre piece of their army and a rallying point for their kin. No Elven battle force of note is ever found without at least one in their ranks. And rumour has it that some of the more noble born elves are even using the same chariot frame to be pulled into battle by a mythical white lion! What it looks like at home - High Elf Chariot with pure thoroughbreds and dark green caparisons, crewed by Wood Elves and a High Elf Envoy Above and below show example of range of movement and articulation. Chariot pivots 180 degrees around horizontal (ie: hard left and hard right turns) as well as horses can rear up as well. If any of this takes your fancy in any way I would be grateful for your support at: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/128555 Yes I know I only had the orc war boar approved the other day but I had no idea this one would be accepted in around 12 hours! (Especially since my first 3 projects were rejected) Much love D Quote
Tomsche Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 That really reminds me of the classic Games Workshop wood elf chariot, awesome build Quote
nine09nueve Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 That really reminds me of the classic Games Workshop wood elf chariot, awesome build Thank you for the support! And although I do have a lot of Warhammer background in my past and I particularly love the world they created... and subsequently destroyed... :( for legal reasons can I state that any resemblance between this chariot and anything that GW has ever produced living or dead, is purely coincidental!

nine09nueve Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 Cool! Where did that hairpiece come from? Ack sorry didn't reply to this - its a normal pink flesh LOTR elf hair... just got rid of all the horrible pink! :D Quote

Forresto Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 This looks fantastic, I love how even though the three elves have the same face the hair on the envoy makes him look a little concerned. Maybe i'm just imagining things Quote

Maybe i'm just imagining things No no you're absolutely right he does look concerned and with good reason... The High Elf is thinking... "Do my Woodland cousins really know how to drive this thing this fast IN the forest... you know... whizzing between the trees!" :D Quote
