When I first heard about the elves, I can admit to being lukewarm. They're just not my favorite army. But I bought a box to support a new, upstart miniature company. I was glad I did.
The sculpting is exquisite, and these elves look graceful, agile, fragile but still deadly. The poses are amazing, and capture the feeling of an incredibly skilled warrior carefully eyeing his foe and waiting for the perfect moment to land a killing shot.
The level of detail on the models is excellent, with finely-detailed armor and weapons. Mold lines are pretty small and the overall impression is of a quality product. You get a great choice of options and other bits on the sprue.
The Mantic bases are also nice because, with the combination of more realistically proportioned-miniatures, and the good fit, they are the most stable miniatures I've ever had the pleasure to play with. This may not matter a lot all the time, but when you're moving a tray of elves to put them on the table, it's nice to not have to worry about your standard bearer taking a header onto the floor.
