Niall, As per your request, here are some pics - I was mistaken on the box size, it seemed much larger in my mind...that's what she said...sorry. The box is only a little over 14" tall and a little more than 24" long and 18" wide. Ruler for scale since I didn't have a banana http://im...

I have a large transparent box, 3x3 ($15), a piece of plywood I cut up in two sections($8), a 1" dowel I cut up into 5" lengths to act as legs/supports between each level($4), screws to secure the dowels and cheap cupboard pulls to lift the section out of the box($4). I secured a large pie...

As a person who just spent the last six months painting 15 reavers and 10 silverhelms, I feel your pain about painting them up. I'd bite the bullet though and eBay more reavers and SH now before they become even more rare/expensive. In the mean time pick up more of your special troops, except SM's a...

Ruerl Your post is full of win! Great historical analysis and in depth presentation of your argument . I never considered the kinetic weight of Chainmail before and it's that kind of insight which gives your statements added credence (to me at least). Re: our book. I've played about 50 games with ou...

That was a great write up Targ, and I really enjoyed your use of the MRo Challenge. I'm wondering what the deployment order of the units were? I'm looking at Eless's deployment trying to figure out how his pieces got to where they were when. Unless you deployed your Gyros early it would have been re...

I paint them separately and use some small amount of blue tack to keep the riders mounted and move them around to make sure they fit together when ranked.

Love the colors and theme for your army! It is redundant to say high elf and girly in the same sentence though :D The shoes on the horses is a nice touch. If you want to add just a little punch to the horses color, I'd take some nuln oil down the back quarter of the horses in the muscle line. It'll ...

Good luck on your new painting project! Since you are asking for advice I'll mention some additional comments in addition to what LA has mentioned. Re: color choice; you've basically taken the color wheel and gone one left of the primary colors so they should go well together. The issue I'm seeing i...

@Threeheadedmonkey - I got the both of them off of ebay for $20 together, so check there if you do look for them.

@Ferny - Thanks! I got them originally to make mounted characters but the phoenix idea came when I got an idea of the GW prices

Loth

@Aerender - I've made the Phoenix more vertical, the only time you see the rod right now is on the side. I'll be waiting till I'm inspired to cover the rod. @Threeheadedmonkey - thanks! The scale is between the GW eagle and the Phoenix model. I think it splits the difference pretty closely. When I h...

So I finished my Flamespyre Phoenix. Haven't been motivated this month, too much summery goodness

I played a game against the Warriors of Chaos last week. It was my first time using the new book and my first game against the 8th Ed. WoC. Our local store is using the Swedish comp rules at 2500 points so my opponent wanted an opportunity to try his first draft list out and see what weaknesses his ...

Also don't forget that they're skirmishers, so you don't have to really rank them up.

Loth

I think it needs some black/blue/purple. I think the colors are too close to each other to see any color differences on the bows

I've completed my chariot, Yay and did some work on my Phoenixes. Chariot: http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/997/tiranocleft.jpg My WiP Frostie http://img545.imageshack.us/img545/9836/frostrearwip.jpg My WiP Flame http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/1179/flamewiptop.jpg I've written more about them ...

So it's been awhile, my desk lamp broke and had little time last month, however I have some progress! First off my Tiranoc Chariot! This is a combination of parts from the original chariot (base), wheels from who knows where and some 7th edition guys. Those two guys were a very tight fit and I had t...

Pre-new book I ran my light coven naked, and most the time they were never in a unit. The only time I'd put them in is if the unit had scouts at the beginning of the game, and then in a unit of PG.

You have to pay attention to your positioning and charge ability of your enemy but it can work.

The paint on the models is incredible and a very immersive style. I see some real cell type shading techniques and it looks great. My only comment is the static grass looks out of place. The shape is too organic for the excellent paint style. It's my aesthetic and doesn't impinge on the quality of y...

I love the color scheme, it's the same as mine

Desk lamp burned out last month so I got way behind .

I'm going to finish one Tiranoc chariot , frost & flame Phoenix and get some SH started

Loth

Thought that me how you did it, I appreciate the feedback. As far as the other Frosties style, I was thinking of making mine a dark purple/royal blue fade into lighter colors and making the wings interchangeable. I know there is a google image of different flame colors to reference, I'd post it but ...

I'm with Nyaeve on how you did the front portion of your Frosties wings. I just got an airbrush myself and think I might copy your technique. The birds look great!

Loth

Non-acetone nail polish remover works great for fine cast as well. Just don't leave in longer than 10 minutes.

Loth

Non-acetone nail polish remover will work on everything, plastics and metals and resins. If you leave them in longer than 15 minutes the plastic will start to get soft.

A quick dip in the bath and some on your brush and the paints come right off.

Hello, new to the forum (and to High Elves, just really got a non-GW mage I'm painting at the moment). Tried playing two games so far (proxying my TK, all the unit types and equipment is (mostly) right at least ^^; ) and after the first game I thought I should try something that may or may not end ...

I've got some ER that need to get finished (5) for the new core :D Hopefully my old school Tiranoc chariot and a character PC for a campaign I'm running... I think I might actually might be able to get to seven models this month . Of course that depends on how long it takes me to look over all the n...
