Wow, thank youjwoolf wrote:These are fantastic. I registered for the express purpose of replying to this thread. I really like your color choices - these models capture the "ancient and otherworldly" feel that elves should have. I'm new to Fantasy and just starting High Elves, and this is a great inspiration to me.
ancient and otherworldly is exactly the feel I was going for. This is the best forum for High Elves you will find anywhere, most people here know way more then I do. I'd love to hear your plans, starting an army is fun.
Love the Rackham models, my Wife has a few in her WE.Baalan wrote:aah another 'old' Rackham collector...
indeed, would you care to share your take on elven skin?
back to work I go.
Sure, when I get some time I'll snap a couple of shots.Alathenar wrote: I would like to see more pics of the Phoenix if thats cool?
The blue for the eagle riders cloak is the same mix as for my Shadow Warriors. To keep them all tied to the rest of the army I blended the existing colours. Hawk Turquoise mixed with Shadow Gray for the base, and I blended up in tone by adding space wolves gray. The underside is Shadow gray blended up with space wolves gray. As for the flock, it's a mix of a store bought autumn flock, and some saw dust that dyed myself, with a NGR woodfinishing dye.Tír wrote:This army really is something else. In a very good way
Would you mind sharing how you did the blue cloak for the eagle-rider? And also what kind of flock you used. Regular stuff or did you colour it yourself?
Thank you, funny you should mention more pics, I have a week off from work so i was planning on snapping a few this week! But I think I have to change the title of the thread, my boys got me the Island of Blood for ChristmasMireadur wrote:Really nice! pity you dont show us more and better pics! (specially more, i want to see many moooore)
They are made from Wood Elf bits, High Elf bits and green stuff. the one beside the BSB is actually the same fellow riding the eagle. Back in the day he was for when the Eagle died, he's clutching a wounded shoulder. Same bits for the guy below. My Shadow Warrior units consist of a mix of the old medal SW, and some WE conversions.commander wrote:Ah, in the second picture, on the right of the banner which has a picture of a dragon. Also the picture underneath that one with the unit of shadow warriors, who is the guy on the right? Were they old models, or did you construct them yourself.
Thank you, it took years, I started when my first son was born, he's almost ten nowBy the way, i must complement your effort. It takes me so long to paint, its hard to get started.
If it were to be fielded as all models it comes in at about 8000pts, but at 25% core it would muster 6000pts. However I run a variety of lists based of different themes using different models from the pool.Arthon wrote:nice painting btw how many pts is this army?
Giladis, love your work. The BSB is made up of a few bits, the legs, the pole and banner are from the chariot kit, both the arms are archer arms, the sword on the belt, the head, and the hand holding the banner are from spearmen. The falcon was a bit I had around, I think it was a Reaper, and was on a small tree branch. Can't wait to see what you makes.Giladis wrote:Could you please tell what bits you used for the BSB as I would like to make something very similar, just with a smaller banner and a bow.
