[WM] Stormwind Rails Against the Lead Mountain

[Tiberius]

Magnificent!  I love that High Elf mage model, and it looks like you made a great water bender with it.

Neaty! great command

[adamsg01]

They are great - love the colours as they really bring the bases to life.

Well done!

cheers

[Stormwind]

Thanks for your kind words!  Always encouraging to have an audience for painting. =)

Latest unit finished, my 2nd Spearmen unit, pretty happy with them!

[mlkr]

They all look brilliant and shiny like any selfrespecting, haughty and overpridefull High Elf should

[Tiberius]

Very good!  What colors of blue to you use for those shields?  I really like it!

[jchaos79]

Good work!

[Toon]

That is a really nice unit Stormwind. The rune on the banner is a great addition and well executed!

[marell le fou]

Nice ! I'm not fond of the blue base, but the troops are very nice.

[Rowlybot]

Lovely looking figures.

Copy paste from the blog:

"According to the Warhammer: Uniforms & Heraldry of the High Elves, the rune is Edra, which stands for "Laughter, the cruelty of Fate". This feels appropriate considering my dice rolls..."

So, the blues.  Well, I used to base them with Mordian Blue, but Regal Blue and Caledor Sky also work as bases.  Then layer Teclis Blue is the brightest one on the Spearmen.  The hems of their robes I do at the end with straight Teclis Blue, I don't bother building that up.

For the Silver Helms I take it up to Hoeth Blue, a newer Layer paint from GW.  I've been doing that very inefficiently in the past.  I might have been painting for a couple of years now but still find it hard to break out of bad habits or slow ways of doing things that duplicate work.

Beautiful work,

Looks like I might have 3 new warmaster converts. They even bought 10mm armies at Salute.

I bought a "Kingdoms of Ind" army for which I'll write my own list. I just need a Kali-type demon model that will fit in. So that's just 5,000 points of Chaos, 4,000 each of Elves, Dwarfs and O&G, 2,500 points of Empire, 1,500 of Kislev, 2,000 of Albion and Undead and...NOW...a Kingdoms of Ind to do. All that while shoehorning in Oldhammer and Kings of War.

Experience tells me not to look at the Polarfox site anymore. Undead and Bret heroes you say? HERE'S MY CREDIT CARD!!!

Good times.

Wow those guys really pop. Lovely brushwork and the standard is really well done. I just like 2 nights ago was painting symbols on High elf spear-elf shields and yours are really well done and consistent. I can appreciate the effort required. Also well done on having all the spears intact - a rarity amongst those lovely WM Spear elves.

Thanks for the photies

Thanks for your kind words, guys. 

These fellas clearly need varnishing and static grass, but I just want to post pictures of them to show I've done something!

I hate chaos chariots.  They have tonnes of nooks and crannies and they are so warped that trying to get them flat on a base is a pain.  Finally got this one done, and another one on the go. ;.;

[jchaos79]

Yes indeed, and the spikes n the wheels somtimes bother with the adjacent stand and is difficult to align. But the unit is great and once ensambled and painted you forget quickly those details!

good work!
