Games Workshop has a great write up about unboxing the Island of Blood starter set. Looks well made and easy to assemble or put together.

Also check out the ‘Eavy Metal gallery with the high elves prince on a griffin is in its 360 degree glory!

This is what you are going to get from the Island of Blood, a 10 man (or elf) High Elves Seaguard unit. Enjoy its glory. That champion still needs a head swap! Oh check out the Reaver too. Really nice.

We have Swordmasters today! Pretty much the best you can get with a static pose.

Sword Master Champion – Like all of the champion and character models in The Island of Blood, this model has a name: Bladelord Kalaer.

Sword Master Standard Bearer – the detail is sculpted onto this banner, which makes you need only add paint for a great looking banner.

All right, here we go, more new painted figures from the Island of Blood.

Ellyrian Reaver Champion – Eltheus Farsight leads his unit of Ellyrian Reavers, the Dawn Riders, in daring raids against the enemy’s flanks.

Lothern Sea Guard Standard Bearer – the elven runes, waves and sea dragon are actually sculpted onto the Sea Guard’s banner.

If these High Elves Horses are an example of the new horse models to come, I will be really pleased and excited! Hoping really for a plastic Dragon Princes/Silver Helms combo set now.

What just happened here? Ok, the release of the High Elves Island of Blood models were all going so well with the Griffin and all, when suddenly we are hit with this! A vampire looking mage with a fountain pen on his head, and a stunted looking Lothern Seaguard champion with 70’s retro horror movie merman helmet? Or better still, a fish on his head?
