Those are the wood elves surrounding the party of dwarves. The Wood Elves? As I wrote about in the Halfling team post, I’m a big fan of the Rankin Bass Tolkien cartoons, so they’re a grey/green hue with bright yellow hair as seen above in the still from The Hobbit. My High Elves are all white like Elric of Melnibone.

So, my Dark Elves are light blue in the classic ‘night elf’ style of the 80’s. Their stats certainly lend support to them having otherworldly origins. I like the folklore tradition of elves being more supernatural beings and not just humans with pointy ears.


I like to paint my Old World elves in colorful skin tones. Blitz Bowl doesn’t have an official Wood Elf team…but the upcoming Blitz Bowl Season 2 does! In anticipation I went ahead and traded a sprue of Dark Elves for Wood Elves with I don’t have history with Woodies across any GW game, but I knew which approach I would take with the team.
