The Elven Lords needed a board where the miniatures could be photographed and shown with the atmosphere they deserved.
The idea was to build a compact 30 x 30 cm scene, closer to an Armies on Parade display board than to a full gaming table. It had to include enough scenery to frame the miniatures without hiding them.
A display board for The Elven Lords
The board used a fountain, a small hill, a wooden gate, stone walls, stairs, a path, and trees to create an elven setting. Each element helped explain the range visually: elegant, martial, and tied to a fantasy landscape.
It was also a practical piece. A good display board makes photographs easier, gives scale to the miniatures, and helps the viewer imagine the army beyond isolated studio shots.
Here is the process of building that board for The Elven Lords.

The current LastSword elven core
These old Elven Lords entries pointed at the core of a high elf army: spearmen and archers. Today those two battlefield roles are covered by our current High Elves units.

If this wall and fence series interests you as playable scenery, Village’s Walls, Gate and Tower brings that idea into the current range: wall sections, a gate, and a tower for closing roads, protecting villages, or marking objectives on the table.
