Light of Eltharion
First up we are going to take a look at the assembly instructions for The Light of Eltharion. This miniature is a work of art, but if you are just starting out in this hobby and this is your first box set, you might want to save this mini for last as this build is not for the faint of heart.
This is a mini that you are going to want to dry-fit everything before you commit to the glue but when you get it right this will be a centerpiece in your army for sure.
Vanari Dawnriders
If you are looking for detail The Lumineth Realm-Lords have enough for even the most seasoned of hobbyists. These Dawnrider models have a ton of detail on their armor trim and elegant elven symbols everywhere. Painting these minis will be a fun time for sure, but as you’ll see in the video assembly may be a different story.
Auralan Wardens
Holy 4 inch spear Batman! The Vanari Auralan Wardens are not going to let you get anywhere near them with this thing. All jokes aside these minis look great but you might have a hard time finding ways to store these minis.
Lumineth Realm-Lords Army Box Set VALUE
Last but not least let’s talk about hobby dollars. This box is not a bad deal for a limited release Start Collecting Box.
