OK, here goes an update. I got my box of WL in about a week ago, and started on them. I finished my first WL and nearly my second as well. they look good, though I hoped they would look better. Haven't put them on their bases, as someone warned me about that they don't rank up neatly, so wanna do that in batches.
In the box though, there is a
stone thingy of a lion. I wondered if there were projects done with these ornaments? I have looked at quite some armies around here, but can't actively remember whether I've seen one in a project/unitfiller? does anyone maybe have a link or something?
and now the photo's; the photo's are again of not such great quality..... also I don't quite get the hang of those faces, faces are IMO one of the most hard things on a model

the reason why I haven't got more done is because my frost phoenix got in. It took me about two days to build it, and it's still not finished. the reason is that I took so long is that I magnetized most of it, so the heads and their neckpiece/saddle are magnetised/swappable. Also the wings can be de-attached once finished, for easier transport. However, for this I'm waiting for a tool I won't have access to until next week. Once the build is complete, I'll show pictures.....
about magnetizing:

(To keep mainly pictures of models in this topic, I'll just make smaller pictures for this, though they do link)
for both the mus and the SB (well, SB to be, as the banner isn't there yet) I used magnets that are 1.5mm x 3mm (height x diameter) though once I used a smaller magnet (1x1.5)
for the mus, I kept the magnets horizontal. there was enough room within the torso to hide the 3mm magnet. I shortened the arms just a little bit. The magnets are quite strong, but because the horn offers a good grip to pull off the arm, I went for the bigger magnet on his arm. However, because once the shield snap to the body, it's hard to get your grip to pull it off. therefor I used a smaller magnet there

for the SB, there was not that much room within the torso to hide the magnet, so I put the magnet under an angle in here. I didn't want it to be totally vertical, because if a banner is placed there, it will give in. the angle can be seen from the lance. It's strong enough for the lance, but if it proofs to be not strong enough to support a banner, i might glue a small magnet in the foot and under the banner pole

you can see his magnet in his shoulder

you can see the weird angle, as the green stuff isn't done perfectly (which is not needed anyway, since it's mostly hidden, but still)
and so much for this update
