Guthwines various SG Projects [EA/WM/MH/BB]

The Swordmasters are still unfinished and motivation is at a low point, so I wanted results this weekend and what better to do than a character.

So I finished the first mage for my highelfs:



The second mage is already primed and awaits paint, maybe work on the swordsmasters will continue next week, well see.

Consider this a thumbs up! 

I have discovered that I prefer painting my 10's singly, I blame the Blacksmith(Javier) for starting me down that road, but I actually get results, whereas with my 28's I was taking a week or more to finish a single model.

In any event, taking a break and doing a character is the perfect way to rachet up the old motivation as you see results quickly.

  I always enjoy seeing your stuff and keep working I enjoy seeing other's interpretations on fun models, like Swordmasters.

Lovely and amazing work

[Guthwine]

Thanks for the comments, helps alot to bring me back behind the brush.

@Rolgan: I think the swordmaster are quite boring to paint with that much armor and so few poses, dont expect too much surprises.   What I really am looking forward to are the phoenix guards with their capes, though I might just end up with the standart flames on them.

About the swordmasters, never was impressed with those castings... ended up making a Swordmaster unit from multiple character packets.

great sorceror! white whirlwind seems great to me. I understnad you had modeled some stones being throw away for the strengh of the magic wind, isn't it? if it so... I love the idea.

Also I miss the armless marine in the second plane... did he had a name? .   Anyway, excellent work and go for those swordmasters that I am sure the will be great in your army, special units always gives personality to the armies, and your elf army seems amazing!

talking about your elf army... are you planning to use the regular elf list or the tournament trial list ?

looking forward to see more 10mm painted by you, always suprise and are all amazing!

[Guthwine]

Thanks alot J, its much appreciated!

lol, the marine has yet to be named, but he usually only appears in pics that go onto my CMON.com account. But since I pretty much gave that up, cause its really only a platform for golden demon winners and 28mm minis, he was left out.

And yes the stones are supposed to enforce the whirlwind effect, also later I found out that the HE spell is called "hail of stones" or something so its a 2 in one effect.

To the list, I will most likely play the tournament trial list, as it is more popular in our group. Mainly because the 3+ shooting for everything can be exploited to easily. (Not that I would do such a thing. )

[graymatterblues]

Dude! I absolutely love the stones/whirlwind effect! I look forward to seeing more of your units. Thanks for sharing with us.

[Guthwine]

Thanks gray! Sharing is a great driving force for me, as I always feel bad if I havent updates for a while.

And heres mage no.2 : He is not such a show off like his douchey young colleague who rides the whirlwind. Hes a little older and experienced, he knows a helmet can be useful on a battlefield and he rides with style.



These are the eureka lions, they could be a little bigger but they work pretty well as they are. The armor plates and the "beard" thingies of the lions  are greenstuffed. (yeah that was fun)

@jchaos this is for you:

Hopefully I get on with the swordmasters, if not the hero on dragon will get some love!

[azrael71]

Nice work on these.
Those lions look very much the part.
Better than these

[calmacil]

Love the lion chariot, great work on the greenstuffing 

[jchaos79]

    now the post is complete !

The eureka lions had a very good quality! I had never seen them and it seems they worth. Congrat!

[DaveC]

Great white lion chariot the Eureka lions work really well.

[BlackEd]

I like those lions!  The chariot looks great!  All your painting looks great!

[Guthwine]

Thanks for the comments guys!

Yeah the eureka lions are well made, though the "attacking" pose looks abit awkward in a closeup. The only downside Id say is the modelcount, they are packed kind of randomly (at least mine were), so youd need 2 or 3 packs for a whole unit of lion chariots.

Also work on the swordmasters has gone well so far, I hope to finish them tomorrow!
