Usually I don't post WIP's, but today I need some help. In the old edition's WHFB armybooks there were wood elves animal keepers or beastmasters. Their regiment consisted of a master and some different animals/beasts. So, the idea is to proxy a Wild Hunt regiment by 3 stands with beastmasters. In fact it will be much better than 4 equal units of deer-riders. Which 3 stands do you prefer to choose? 1. Hounds from celtic range. 2. Boars. 3. Small bears. 4. Big bear. ...
Required minimum is ready. 10mm version of a highborn will act as my general. One of the best miniatures GW ever produced: those hair on the face, such contemptuous glance, flowing cloak. Why not Orion? He remained in Athel Loren and did not follow the Lost Kindred. Waywatcher noble is a cheap companion, only 80pts. However I feel I will include her just for the stern owl on the base.
New regiment and they are very special guests here. Before current Revolution-edition Warmaster wood elves list requires 3 units of archers per 1000pts. How could I make them different and interesting? Hey, armybook said that Lumpin Croop's Fighting Cocks used to join wood elves. Moreover I had them in my 28mm WE army. Only one problem was here: WarpMinis made halflings with crossbows, but I needed archers. And today I have unique halflings! They can count as ordinary archers (who can stop me?), ...
Just another quick painted terrain/objectives. Something should be done during tough time, so better 1 hour finished stumps than nothing at all. Now it's time to be revealed as continuation of assembling the troops.
Second light cavalry unit, half brigade is done. Expectations were true: the greatest problem was the citadel white paint. The result is little darker, nevertheless I feel more satisfied with them.
Glade riders, the first squadron of light cavalry. Beloved, adorable cornets, fast and gallant. That was a nightmare to paint them, 3 features in one time made the process horrible. Bad paints (white, orange), bad poses (closed hand positions, riders on horses as one item), huge amount of details (just like they are at least 20mm, not 10mm).
I know you wait for something very special. Here it comes! Treeman ancient and Noble on... giant owl. Even more stuff is just behind the corner.
Some background for chosen army theme (in fact that's all). Started their journey a long ago, so their colours (and units) are old fashioned. And blue eyes...
Default dryads unit. Required by rules, not good in game, nor fit army theme, but very easy to paint. About 2 hours of lazy dry brushing.
