I'm pretty excited to paint this next unit up for my Wood Elves. They each represent a couple hours worth of hacking, pinning, filing, gap filling, etc. and I think the result matches the fluff better than the trees with boobs from the plastic kit.

Used my wet pallete for the first time on the runes. I mix up a lot of the blue/teal color all the time, and now I have a reasonably large amount of all the intermediate hilights and stuff. Should last a while, since it's usually an accent color and not used for large areas. And this way I don't have to make a bunch of mixing pots :-D...

Like the title says, I'm almost done with this guy. Just have to do the horns, forearms and the vine on the scythe really. The horns will be bone, with all the swirly runes being teal-white like on the shield. I think it'll look groovy. The runes will take forever though.

The nice thing about having the big scythe on the Alter is that I can BS it to represent anything I want. Hand weapon, spear, or great weapon :-) It'll likely be a great weapon most of the time, and the shield simply as added protection against spells/arrows. ...

Yep. I'm a dumbass. When I get good ideas for conversions after midnight, I don't shelf the idea and come back to it at a reasonable hour. No, sir.

So aside from a bit of gap filling and pinning, I now have a built Glamorweaver on Unicorn for my Wood Elf army. I bet you can imagine how fun it was removing 2/3 of the Fay Enchantress from her mount, and removing the bottom half of the floating Mage without wrecking her dress. I think I coated my entire room in pewter/resin dust by the time I was done... at 5:00 am. Did I mention I didn't sleep Monday night either due to homework? I'm awesome.
