High Elf Dragon Prince and Elven Waystone

This blog is going to crash I have not posted anything on it in absolute ages and in one day hammered it with more posts than I think I did last year :-)  This was a good distraction from painting Dark Elves for a while.

Citadel Woods

I got two kits on eBay and put this together, plus a couple of extras that I did'nt photograph. It was pretty straight forward, lots of dry brushing. I want to be able to have a dead woods so I magnetized the trees and foliage to give me the options of including the leaves of not. It worked out quite well.

Warhammer Temple of Blood

I had a bit of fun converting this up from the arcane ruins set from Games Workshop. Getting the water effects looking deep was a bit of a challenge, plenty of drying time.

Dark Elves Crossbow Unit

I have quite a few of these put together now (about 6 units of 10) 3 of them are painted but just realised I had not taken any photos of them. I think it was a nice touch to string the bows. And I really like how the champion came out using a mix of bits from the Cold One Riders sprue.

Dark Elf Sorceress on Dark Steed

Another quick conversion with some bits I had left over. Quite happy with the way it came out.

Release the Kraken!

This was a painting pleasure. It was a bit fiddly to put together, there was a lot of pinning for the tentacles and getting it to sit on the base. I also had a chance to play with water effect on the base which was a bit of fun. The two Beastmasters came together well, I used the standard sections of the corsair sprue. Was thinking of fielding it as a Hydra proxy perhaps in a friendly game.

Dark Elves Black Guard

Well it was a bit of a marathon but I have finally finished my 30 Black Guard. I have done 2 units, one of 20 and the other of 10. I have kept these very dark an used fairly minimal colour scheme on them, mostly black, grey and metal so that they live up to their name. I only used gold on the command group. Now on to the next project 30 Executioners.
