Threads like this always make me unreasonably angry because, even though my stuff looks slightly better, it took me 4 hours to achieve what you essentially did in 15 minutes due to dipping.

I've really got to get onto that stuff.

Holy shit.

I'm using the oop high elf lord on pegasus.

He's pretty badass.

Edit: This is the model, took ages to find a pic online

Could we get some closeups and different angles of your Tyrion conversion? I've been wanting to do a similar job with mine and yours, frankly, looks awesome.

The painting is decent, though the uncleaned mold unfortunately detracts from it.

The champion kind of looks like beaker(muppet) lol, with the long skinny head.

The standard bearer is badass.

It's definitely an improvement, still fair splotchy and rough though.

You need to thin your paints more. Also it'll help if you don't completely paint over the darker layers all the way to the edges.

Badass. Simple but effective.

Makes me want to strip my white and blue models.

Looks nice

If I was going to lay any critisim, it's that the paint scheme seems kind of heavy and dark, almost oily (probably at least partly due to lighting during the photos). But on the whole they're really good

Hot shit.

That's... huh. That's actually shit hot. I mean, I like the white/blue and usually people's "custom" colours are horrid. But that all white kind of makes me wish I didn't have a half blue/white painted army already. Nice one. :) Edit: Just checked OP timestamp, this thing is a year old lol...

/agree with the people who said silver -> blue ink -> silver. Blue ink amour on high elves looks rad.

The images aren't loading for me.

haha, nice one. Mission successful then, criticism withdrawn

If you're going for a light colour (white or light grey) you likely wont want any washes (on the skin/hair at least). http://darvon.oceanbeachlife.com/DSC00731.JPG This was just 3 layers of paint 0. Black undercoat 1. grey mixed with a bit of blue on everything 2. grey / white mix on 90% of the mode...

They look like they're wearing lipstick lol, maybe mix a bit of red into your flesh colour instead of using it straight? lol

Cool models/paintjob otherwise though.

The amazing thing is I don't think I've ever seen a worse model (green stuff abominations aside) and everyone is still saying it's fine. Have some standards guys, seriously. How are you helping by complimenting everything you see?

Obviously an awesome paint job: But I love the book familiar

Just because nobody else has said it yet:

Those two models have absolutely no redeeming features. They're poorly assembled and you haven't even bothered to paint inside the lines. I'm not sure why people are bothering to talk about washes and highlighting at this point.

Painting is decent, but all the mold lines kill it.

Not really digging the black/yellow. Makes me think of a football team, or bees.

Protip ^

With the second model (blue and white) I've found giving the metal (especially chain/scale) a watered down blue wash really helps the model stand out.

10 Archers w/ full command @ 135pts

Command on archers...? What are you, a White Dwarf battle report writer?

On the GW website it lists both "War Eagle" and "Great Eagle" under wood elf rare choices, they both have the same stats but the war eagle is half the price. Is there any reason not to just buy war eagles to use in my high elf army? Only thing I can think of is war eagles are new...

Maelstrom games. Like with most things, Australian distributors mark up prices or miniatures way in excess of any currency differences.

With their free shipping, ordering stuff England is litterally about 65% the price of buying the same thing locally, it's f*****g absurd.

Not bad

tactically interested gamers like me What´s in it for us ... who don´t understand Warhammer is meant to be played hardcore like chess How can you say you're "tactically interested" then disparage chess? Chess is about as tatical as it gets. Warhammer being played like chess would be extre...

Looks great, looks even better as an army
