[WM] Helge's Warmaster Log

[Stormwind]

Thank you for explaining.  When I get some I'll just have to cross my fingers that they riders are intact.

These dryads I mentioned - I was thinking that I might get a pack, and put one in each Dryad unit as a signifier of a "command stand".

What I have in my head right now is a birch tree in autumn visual idea for them.

[Helge]

More specialist infantry: Wardancer, Waywatchers and Eternal Guard. I would have preferred a more "ranked" look for the EG, but that's all the spearmen you get in the Eureka warrior pack. They look more like individual fighters, so I based them accordingly. I added the dogs to the Wardancers for no other reason than to differentiate them visually a bit more from the EG.

Really, really nice

Awesome - this is turning into a real showcase army!

[Stormwind]

Absolutely brilliant! Nice, understated look for the waywatchers!

Are you going to have a Wood Dragon at all?

[Helge]

And the central core: 6 units of Glade Guard




The only units missing now are some Eagles (moved over from the High Elf army as I will make that one dragon-themed), a forest dragon and the Spell Weavers.

[Stormwind]

Beautiful!  How many packs of Eureka archers did it take to make those units?

[Helge]

There are 10 models per base, so 30 per unit. The Eureka packs contain 30 models. So 6 packs for 6 units (though I bought seven just to have a backup since some of these models break easily).

[Helge]

Sometimes Santa is really nice

Merry Christmas everybody!

[Stormwind]

Ah, very well done! Taking advantage of the Fantasy Flight sale I see. =)

I've spent all day drilling and green stuffing a High Elf dragon to use as a Forest Dragon, and preparing 2 units of Glade Riders thanks to this plog. =-P

What kind of dragon are you going to use for your HE army? The Kallistra flying ones I presume.

[Helge]

The sale was awesome indeed!

For the High Elves, I will use Kallistra dragons instead of Giant Eagles and a rider mounted on the Dreadfleet Dragon as a hero on giant eagle.

[docdom]

Great job. I want a wood elf army!

[Helge]

And some Eagles. Wood Elves are almost done! This is why I love paining smaller scales. A few days and bam, there is a motivational reward of completion.

[Stormwind]

Oh wow, well done! Though I do think you probably have a surfeit of command stands, now! =-P

What oclours do you use for the earth?

[Helge]

Thanks. I wanted to make one command stand per mount-type but had a few spare models. Might as well use them .

For the bases I use the same process for all my models:
1. Glue on rocks for a few bases
2. Vallejo Pumice stained with black paint (to avoid "white dots" if I miss paint somewhere).
3. Drybrush bestial brown (old GW)
4. Drybrush Bleached Bone (old GW)
5. Drybrush rocks with a dark grey followed by a light grey (I pick random grey colours)
6. Paint the base edge Bestial Brown
