Shameless bump to track in my thread history.

Awesome to see this blast from the past featured on Blond Beer's: The Orange Road

Any new updates on Sister bits conversions you alluded to, or any conversions for that matter?

"i was just swamped with medium sized units, redirectors, monsters, ambushers, scouts and vanguards!" If I can assume you were playing Beastmen, I would not feel to bad. I have yet to beat my regular opponent with my HBE vs his Beasts. Far to much target saturation with high toughness and ...

Interesting Bashtrigger, I can even see support this with the faq on page 10. Q: At what point after a unit has been wiped out do any characters remaining count as having left the unit? (p101) A: As soon as the last model from the unit has been removed, any remaining characters will count as a new u...

@teledor That was for sure our first question in this whole situation. We decided yes he stays in combat, though even on that I am not 100% on either. For my example I could have ignored the character all together and just said 1 lone Black Guard remained to simplify my question of fleeing. I wouldn...

My two step diagram didn't clearly show how I think clean up would have happened to maintain the BSB fight with Swordmasters. This should clear that up. http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac158/msu117/postcombat2_zpsa014204e.png~original @Dalamar The Black Guard unit was completely destroyed leaving...

Had a question about multiple combats and fleeing direction come up. Please mind the crude paint drawings and troop number and combat rez in no way represents actual numbers. Basically though it was a match up of DE vs HE. A Black Guard unit containing a BSB was in combat with Phoenix Guard to the f...

Ptolemy, would you mind sharing what the foliage / leaves product you used for the phoenix tree base?

Thanks

After looking at the beautiful DE female sorcerer and these new female Sisters of the Thorn all I can see in Sisters of Avelorn are some cheap toys whittled from a stick with a pocket knife.

Mainly talking about the head/faces. Yay for more Alarielle head swap options

Beautiful start, keep those pics coming.

I could have sworn there was an old goblin playing something like bagpipes.


edit. yes just google goblin bagpipes and images has at least 2 there. a "newer" one and one much older.

Honestly does not even sound familiar. I think I have looked at most of stuff that comes through paint forum for at least 1.5 years. Hope some one can prove me wrong and I will keep an eye open Cheers

And Dwarfs thought they were the masters of point denial .....BoWD and 1000 point units ... add another entry to the Book of Grudges

So far every thing is looking fantastic. My only criticism at the moment would be the picture quality and simply not enough of them. Keep snapping away. I know people will love to see some close up shots of WIP and the usual ?s on how you achieved your NMM's etc. I know there is at least one epic Av...

Given all the love Silverhelms have been getting in new army lists I would love to get an update with pictures of the completed silver helm unit. If not your self Telemachus perhaps others will get inspired and create their own Silverhelm conversions

@hero. No I am not set on the white lions. I chose them initially to add some killing potential perhaps over phoenix guard. As I have yet to play with the list yet so alot of this is speculation. I will really have to adjust to the cavalry heavy aspect of army vs prior experience with 3 or 3+ units ...

Small Tweak Good call daid13 on enchanted shield vs dragonhelm saved points and only need to drop 1 WL for chariot and eagle swap.

I have yet to play a game with the new book so far and unfortunately it may be a week or more before I can. Just in the brain storming phase. As far as the archers go, I have always found a small archers unit nice to have but in this list I wanted a small unit to hang back with the bolt throwers and...

Prince and BSB in Dragon Princes Archmage in Archers or perhaps White Lions Any thoughts?

Had to dig for it but the blue body reminded me of this by Ana at chest of colors. Aim high and try a base like this :) Mottled earth like browns with blueish ice features. http://chestofcolors.com/gallery/anas-works/other-miniatures/miniature/image/epic-thagrosh-the-messiah-of-everblight/ Cheers

I too was thinking the same about the brightness of the yellow and concur with Aicanor. The old color highlight triangle trick to keep from focusing your eye is unfortunately not even possible with the model i dont think. Was hoping the model might have a belt buckle or something for a third dab of ...

Indeed the blue blending on mage cloaks shows off your true skill keep up the great work. Would also like to say how nice and smooth the white portions are well, white can be very difficult to pull off and you pulled it off great. Cheers

While not completely rounded elegant architecture like normal high elf stuff this still pulls off the feel some what. Found it randomly browsing flickr tonight http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac158/msu117/tower3_zpsfed00cbd.jpg http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac158/msu117/tower2_zpsf0cde232.jpg

Looks awesome competition must have to 10/10 keep up the good work.

Could someone tell me if that is a GW shield and from what kit.

I see the reason for color change up now. Had forgotten you posted #1 as a character and was instead thinking champion and now musician. Still prefer character colors but would have to think about how subtly distinguish him as a character if the same color scheme was used for his unit.

Strongly in favor of 1st model. Deep purple/wine color on barding looks much better than bone imho. The splash bone on smaller area chain looks ok but go with the purple for horse larger flat area barding. When i look at crusher 1 i see the whole model and a nice balance of eye poping color. crusher...

Such a small coversion bringing character to a static model. Fantastic I love it.

now for my dry sense of humor....

Dont suppose you could make a cartoon speech bubble with him saying.. "Sob this armor makes my back itch"

Wow!

So many things to comment on but i will just say my favorite aspect.
I would positively say that is your best flesh tone and character depth in the face to date. Can't wait for more.
