Re: Tinman's plog - Let there be FIRE!! wip
I do agree you need a bit more red. Especially near the midle of the bird where the yellow flows into the black pretty fast. A bit more red on that edge would look great. +1 (or is it +2 at this point?) I think the black should be reserved for just the very tips of the flames at the back; a much mo...

Re: The Warlock of the Black Tower
I'm not sure you need to exchange the Frostheart for a unit of Dragon Princes; provided you're getting at least two of your three FP, WL, or PG into a single combat, they should murderize most units fairly easily - and if they don't, your unit selection is better at grinding (as much as any HE list ...

Re: The Host of Nagarythe 8th Edition list selection - Vote
I voted Loremaster/Phoenix Guard as well since I haven't observed it to be used as much by other contributors here and having someone finally start running it can only add to the conversation about one of the major additions to the Army in the new book. Regarding Birdy, keep the Flamespyre for now a...

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Against most units, the SM will be more dangerous because they get two attacks base. This is especially important now that HE don't get rerolls on hits anymore.

Re: The Cavalry Prince - List Design, Tactics, Battle Reports
Seredain,
Have you considered upgrading the chariot to a sky cutter? People seem to be having success with them, and having the extra Move and Fly would even better support your cavalry or elite infantry. Not sure where to cut 10 points from, though.

So taking a break from highlighting up gold scale armour I decided to work on my dragon that I converted ages ago in a blatant copy of Asterion's brilliant conversion. I will post pics shortly, still very much WIP. It's not "blatantly copied", it's "brilliantly inspired"! I real...

The psyker is very nice mate i love the colours, the blue staff is a very nice contrast to the red hues of his trenchcoat. The only change I would make to him is the base which I don't like, it looks blotchy and rushed and takes away from the impressive mini mounted on it (sorry if I sound harsh :o...

Just a little side project I've been working on the latter half of the week here, primarily because I've had him near my painting station and he kept staring at me begging to be painted.

Re: Curu Olannon's Vindicators - 2500pts Army Blog
- The 10-Dragon Princes hammer is too expensive and situational as a stand-alone unit. I think this gibes well with the MSU-build lists... if for no other reason than two units of Dragon Princes for the same points cost forces your opponent to split their fire, allowing the other unit the chance to...

Re: Here Be Dragons - a Caledor Army Blog
It's great to see someone using a dragon (or two!) successfully when such are "popularly" deemed sub-par in 8th Ed. In all three battle reports you've posted, you used your Double Dragon list; have you used the single-dragon list as much? If so, how do they compare in terms of performance?

Kieran, Your painting/theme is fantastic... so much so, I specifically named you as an inspiration for how I want my elves to look. ;) Anyway, how do you work up to the final white you have? Is it just many thin layers of white, or do you mix it with something and work up the color with each success...

Re: Makareus - beginning High Elves
It's currently Tin Bitz, but the final product will be Dwarf Bronze. I'm not sure of what to highlight the Dwarf Bronze with, or if I even should at all since I don't envision bronze being a particularly bright, reflective hue.Botjer wrote:i like the bronze, is it mereley tinbitz`?

Hi all, What I'd like to do with my High Elves (ostensibly starting with the IoB set) is very similar to Kieran and dragontamer/curse of beers (see painting showcase thread).

What are your thoughts on how you deployed? In particular, I'm wondering if placing your DPs "outside" your eagle would've been a better place for them as they would've been screened from some of his weapons teams and be in prime position for a combo/flank charge on turn 2 or more likely 3...

Re: hydrilisk0's Models
You'll want to put in just enough water to thin your paint without turning it into colored water. Do a google (or even better, youtube) search for wet palette demonstration, as it will help tremendously. You'd probably also find it useful to check the Island of Blood section for painting the High El...

Re: Tinman's painting Log - Lion Lord & my dragon project
tinman, I love your Caradryan! As I'm preparing to paint my HE army, I'm using him as my test model. Because it's a fairly "closed" model (particularly his left side), do you have any advice on what order to paint the armor, cloth, etc?
Also, your dragon is out of this world.
