Re: Dark Elf Rumours

Correction anybody else notice that there are no horses at all in the DE army now? Or chariots? Three dual kits will be released next month with Dark Riders/Warlocks, the Chariots,...

Re: skycutter

...one suggestion; try out with blue-tac first. :) Good idea, blue-tac has about the consistency of 60% yellow to 40% blue greenstuff mixture. Sticky but not to sticky, and roughly the same texture. Though I think blue-tac has a bit more elasticity, it would give you a hands on technical practice a...

Re: Ptolemy's New HEs - WIP Cavalry Prince (Freehand Update)

That is actually a very interesting color. Do you think the darker, richer purple would avoid getting lost on the lilac armor piece on the helm? - What do you all think for the jade guantlet on his left hand. I was considering a honey colored (amberish) gem there but am I introducing too many color...

Re: Ptolemy's New HEs - WIP Cavalry Prince (Freehand Update)

Any suggestions on gem color for the rider himself? Galharen mentioned red but Im hesitant to wander into warm tones. Thoughts? The colours (deep purples) in the sphere of the Tetto'eko might look nice with the excellent painting you have done. Just a thought, though. http://www.games-workshop.com/...

Re: Caledor army - tommyki's plog

Excellent, I think it would look pretty good with some type of dragon pulling it. For bits that may add to the Caledorian feel, the dragon/serpent pits from the spearmen kit might add a touch to the ship. I love seeing themes progress so I will be watching this space with interest =D>

Very very pretty. My recommendation as a fellow Caledorian Army owner. Get a bunch of Dragon Prince heads, you're going to need them for converting up people who are too obviously from other provinces. Agreed. And though it may be a little late but a sky cutter pulled by one Asarion's conversion dr...

I've just ordered some old glade guard models I was planning to use as my sisters of avelorn (the oldschools ones with cool hoods), was considering also trying them as a unit of 6 shadow warriors with a reaver bow champ. The reaver bows shots would help make them more scary to warmachines I think. ...
