If we're focused on crisp and detailed castings over price, what is the best source out there for 15mm elf miniatures? Would need a good variety (cavalry, archers, infantry, some leader types) and ideally some critters to go with them (pegasi, eagles, maybe a dragon) |

I've always been impressed with Splintered Light Miniatures. Their `15mm ranges have a level of detail that would be impressive on 25mm figures.
I prefer the Dungeons and Dragons astetic for my elves, but these are really nice and they have a lot of what you want critter wise, but you might need to see other parts of their Fantasy range to find everything. link |

Yep. Splintered Light are the best and most complete line out there IMHO. They paint up beautifully. |

Haven't seen the Splintered Light elves, though their other figures are great. I have a mixture of Demon World which are very nice and Chariot which are great, but limited. |

Okay, those are wonderful for sure. I'll have a look at Demon World too. |

If you want more Tolkien-esque elves, Eureka has a set of "wood" and "high" elves that are ridiculously well cast: link The only downsides is that they're really 18mm, not 15mm, and definitely quite large next to more classic 15mm. Though if you're after Tolkien elves, then that's actually quite appropriate. |

Wonderful as well. You're right, that'd probably be fine for Tolkien elves and movie-style Uruk Hai :-) |

Splintered light are easier to get in the USA. I also use a lot of the Black Raven Foundry by Battlehonors. |

Like Mad Monkey 1, I think the Black Raven Foundry figures are quite nice.
