Defenders of Mirkwood

With the release of The Hobbit by GW, we've rekindled interest in Lord of the Rings skirmishing at our local store. That seemed like a good reason to reduce the stash, starting with a force that could be completely assembled and painted in a reasonable time (so, not the Dwarfs, of which I have well over a hundred figures that need painting).

First up are the Wood Elves of Mirkwood, led by king Thranduil, his son Legolas and captain Amarthon. They are leading a force of 24 warriors with bows, elf blades and spears (this used to be the contents of a single box, for the princely sum of $25. Oh, how things have changed), a standard bearer and 3 sentinels, who lurk in the shadows and distract unwanted visitors with enchanted music.
