[WM] furtive warmastering

[Apocolocyntosis]

cheers doom, hopefully army pic jan/feb when i aim to have a basing marathon. Putting off basing now as im no longer able to attend the bonescon tournament.

Silver helms done-ish. Not done gems properly, lazy and cant find fiery orange. I gonna say ill come back and do the gems properly later, but i know i wont. (although looking at the image, helmet gems alone would make a huge difference in quality)



Planning to have a break from painting and try my first WM conversions on thursday.

Mmm... Surprised to say i don't like them.

The spears are too 40K Eldarish. Looks like classical spears of the futur with the white shaft, red decorations and blue stuff.

Sorry

[Apocolocyntosis]

No problem Marell, I appreciate the comments. Ive got to warmaster from epic, so the eldar link is warranted. I'm looking forward to finishing and moving on from high elves – it's not my normal paint style and i'm fed up with it!

Meanwhile i've been distracted from high elves by starting my new year project:



But i need to get back to elves and finish them off. want to do 2 chariot units, 1 spears, 1 bolt thrower, 2 eagles, and heroes minimum still.

Oh bloody hell that knight's inspiringly gorgeous.  I thought I had a plan of what to finally paint now that I've started, and that thing makes my Warmaster tests want to jump the queue.

Tutorial? Or will you just paint my army?

[marell le fou]

Oh, yes, nice beard !!

And the helmet is well made too. Congrats !

What will you use it for ? Just a champ in the unit ? A character ?

[Apocolocyntosis]

he's just the unit musician, but the bare head is for the unit champion – Voland, for Voland's Venators.

I love Voldo Ventures. And It looks like Voldo indeed !!

Really nice job there. Congrat

Beautiful work!

Oops, not been hobbying much …

anyway, got this done, a slightly out of focus dragon (makes it harder to hit). Although just noticed the butt of the lance isn't painted.

[Stormwind]

Really lovely dragon! <3

[marell le fou]

Yes, excellent. Classical choice colours but very well painted. Recognisable at first sight.

[Apocolocyntosis]

thank you both

still working away slowly, well over a year since i started, i've now done my second spearman unit, giving a full melee brigade

2nd bolt thrower and 2 chariot units next

[Stormwind]

Great work - the basing really works with the colours, too!

[marell le fou]

Efficient work ! It looks really great.

[Apocolocyntosis]

thank you, chariots no1 finished and added to my cavalry

Next up bolt thrower no2, (then maybe teclis?), then some conversion for chariots no2, then eagles perhaps

i am now getting the feeling my first WM army may actually get finished
