Elf Riflemen

A couple of years back, I made a small warband of "cyberpunk elves". They were largely based around Privateer Press models that I got in a random job lot, with Eldar and Dark Eldar bits. They were a lot of fun to make, and I really liked the style of them. They looked like this:

Recently, I saw that someone was selling a load of Privateer Press elves on ebay. The elves belong to a faction of the game Warmachine, called the Retribution of Scyrah, and seem to be obnoxious fanatical types, as most elves are these days. Anyhow, some of the models are really weird (the big robots are particularly bizarre-looking, and definitely not to my tastes) but some of the infantry are quite cool. The sculpting is a strange mix of classic fantasy, sci-fi and Napoleonic uniforms.

Anyhow, I bought a load of the models off ebay and got to painting them. I decided to do them in a scheme following the mercenaries, using black, light blue and green as the main colours. I think that gives them a nice mixture of lighter, natural "elf" colours and military colours. Like the mercenaries, they're based on bases from the Sedition Wars game. Here are the first five.
