Just a bit of a teaser, but I put in a couple of hours of work tonight for my army (well like 6 to be honest). I wanted to paint, but I mostly ended up drilling, pinning, and sculpting wood grain and feathers. Not the most fun I've had in ages (in fact I think I have a blister on my thumb from the pin vise... knurled grips suck!) but at least I got some good work done. I bulked out the Wardancer Champion's base to be fitting for a Noble... yep the cool dude perched on a tree stump with 2 swords will be the Noble and I'm mail ordering the jump kick Champion to lead the squad. Cooler pose, but he has a spear and the only Wardancer magic weapon is a pair of matched swords... kinda limited my options! The real cool part of the night was my ready for primer Giant Eagle, who is known among the Asrai as "Giant Magnetized Lord of the Rings Eagle of Doom!" As you may have guessed, he is giant, his wings are magnetized for storage/travel concerns, and he is in fact a Lord of the Rings model. I had one in the closet from years ago, and the official Warhammer Giant Eagle is mail order exclusive (and $35 for some reason, wtf!). He'll arrive in a few weeks along with 1-2 other figs for later on in the campaign. Many thanks to my buddy Aaron who's generously paid for most of my new Wood Elf figs (including some Treekin!), in exchange for promises of future Tau/Khemri boxes from my stash. Couldn't do it without ya buddy :-) Pics coming later, it's bloody late!
