Black Scorpion High Elves

I've always liked the look of the Black Scorpion "Humans" - the iconic helmets and the Hoplite look.  But the team is clearly High Elves:

There are some drawbacks - the teams are made in resin, which I'd never worked with before.  And the catchers look so much like the linemen that opponents could have trouble recognizing them - a big no-no when fielding third party teams.
So I bought some Elf Catchers from the same manufacturer.  Positions should be clear now.  Here's a closeup of the Throwers and Catchers:

And the heart and sol of the team, Linemen and Blitzers.  (Blitzers are the ones in the cloaks):

So how did it turn out?  Less trouble than I thought.  Resin cuts quite easily so it's easy to clean up.  Some of the joints were a little bit iffy - bubbles where a boot connected to a base slot, and so on.  But nothing I couldn't deal with.

Next up, the Black Scorpion Amazons.  I'll probably do them in August.
