Here is the second hero, the Elf!
For those out there familiar with the miniature, you will notice he is holding a slightly different sword. The reason is that long time ago, some kid (my wife!) step on it and managed to bend it in such a way that a repair was no longer possible. Therefore, I cut it and attached a new one. I did not have a longsword, only a short one, but the overall effect is ok, although perhaps a bit too broad.
For the colour scheme, I have chosen the classic yellow/red following the art. Overall I am quite happy with the result, although the photo is quite bad.
Please pay attention to the nice Easter egg, in the Spanish edition of HeroQuest, the Elf was wrongly translated as "El Troll" (The Troll) which is just hilarious. You can see that in the picture below.

Jajaja, una de esas traducciones desafortunadas que aún nos arrancan sonrisas. Qué poquito te queda para terminar el trabajo completo
