Both look great, but I personally prefer the summer one.

If you use forest spirits - summer
If you don't - winter

I agree, and me too.

The winter theme almost looks like it comes from the Night Glens, Modryn.
Without the snow on the base you could have the best of both worlds.
Spirits and Elves with that awesome colour scheme.
Along with giving you perfect premise for Dark magic, Shadow and Death, even Beasts.
If you wanted to have an underlining theme to your army.
Sincerely,

Thanks for the feed back guys, I think I need to do a little more work on the Winter theme, the black is a bit to sheer, I should add another layer I think.

The summer one is far far easier to paint but I really want to do something different. I do fear for my life when it comes to painting winter dryads/treemen/way watchers though.
lol.

I like the Winter theme purely because you don't see if often.

Also, to add although almost all of the feedback on Asrai.org is voting for summer, they're wrong :P , use winter.
It looks better, less mainstream, insert another good reason here..
There's lots of reasons to go against the grain.

Winter as well. Different, not as monochromatic.
