Amazing team painted by Golden Demons winner Manumilitari (see his masterpieces on CoolMiniOrnot).
The team was customized using old Eldar minis.This team is the only one in the world !!!.
PM me with serious Offers (considering he's a GD multiple winner)
Thanks

Its a lovely team for sure, but not having a full completieon of 16 will make the team less than usefull for both tournament(less option to divere it) and league games.

Good luck on selling it either way

Do you mean it's the only team he's painted, or the only team with these models, in which case I'd disagree (I've seen a couple of other Elf teams use these figs).

On number of players, I agree with Hunter - makes the team slightly less desirable.

That said, looks a great team (any single player pics) that if I had money to make a serious offer, would be tempting.

Of course this is the only team he painted with these modified figures.......It's hard to find an idea nobody else in the world never had..especially in BB team's rosters.
Thanks for the good words, he's a supreme painter (like I never be,

)

Superb team.

Not for me though with an echoing of the point about not a full team.
It's not like most people can add a couple of players to the same quality...

Is there any chance that you could get him to add to it?

Making sure that there was 4 blitzers and 4 catchers would make this a very highselling team on Ebay.

I kinda like the idea of a white and gold team using the positional colors as a highlights. Nice way for someone, who does not like using color rings, to mark positionals.

BY the fact I'm a skilled painter and I have some very old harlequin figures I can add the missing figures and paint them in acceptable level....

Please post more pics. Some close ups of individual players.

I'd have to say its nice but also got to say that without a few more players its not worth squat! Sorry if that seems harsh but when I buy a team I need a team that has more than just the basic 12. There should be at least 16 players and ideally 20 to provide options for playing.

And YES I do pay for teams such as this, and its worth it. I have two teams being painted presently and they're FULL Teams including ALL Star Players etc and then I've another two almost ready to be painted. I'd rather pay extra to make a team complete. As long as GW doesn't decide that a team should/could have more than 16 linemen then I'm set

In all honesty, you would have to be able to make the additional miniatures look allmost identical to the ecxisting ones, both in conversion and painting.
Otherwise it will be to blatantly obvious that the 12 miniatures wee from one artist and the rest is "add ons"

If I were you I would get in touch with the original artis and see if he is commishiable to do something like: 1 Thrower, 2 Catchers and 2 Blitzers. Perhaps even a treeman (I have no idea what would be good as a treeman on this team)

The team would then be useable as High, pro and wood elves and look terrific on the field.

I am sure a team like that would sell for a very high amount indeed, but as the team is now it will be hard to sell due to its lack of adversity.

Is your wife going to sell these at bargain prices in a few years?

Wow. You people talk like SS has no clue what he's doing.

The picture above is what's for sale. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Period. No one cares if you want 100 other minis painted to match or why. SS can ask the original painter if he will do it but painters of that calibre have plenty of work and probably won't do such a thing. He's offered to help and I'll tell you he is a GOOD painter in his own right. If that's not acceptable to you that's fine. No one cares why you don't want it. Keep it to yourself.

Calm down. Nobody has said anything abusive, nobody has called the seller an idiot, the only thing that's happened so far is people are pointing out that they wouldn't/might not want the team for the reasons mentioned above (not enough players and hard to add to). If he's looking to sell it, and that's the point that keeps coming up, then maybe it should be taken as people offering advice and not a third party deciding it's abuse on his behalf

If I had enough money to buy my teams painted instead of having to paint them myself (which I both suck at and hate doing) I'd probalby be put off for the same reasons. This shouldn't detract from the fact that it's a really nice team, and good luck in selling it.

In all honesty I meant it as friendly sincerer advice and comments, and I am sorry if it came out as snarky or demeaning.
Sure as (inset warm place) didnt mean to.

Good luck with the sell
