scarsfell griffon

Heres what im working on this week along with some more high elves if i have time and big kromac.

Its my new scarsfell, WIP atm, i think im gonna stick with the black headscarf, loincloth and fingerless gloves (cus yunno he wants to rip your face off, but dosn't want his poor handsies to get cold) that the privateer guys used, but make him have a dark skintone like my feral, as a midtone to black clothes and the white wings. Also the armours as usual, so we'll have quite a neutral model with a few spot colours on the armour and im going to try some red glowing eyes if i think as well to add some focus on the models face. Also dont know whether I want to out some small scars on his arms and other exposed flesh as the beasties called a "scarsfell" after all, though it might look a bit weird on such a small model, but i might just try a small one for a little touch.

Pics of finished model when im done, and i know the pics awful, but hey its only WIP.

Working on some seaguard, trying out the new spray paint its the plate metal from army painter its sped up the process helluva lot, i think they look pretty cool. The bottom pic is after one wash, the top one is the finished picture, one of them was done with a black undercoat so i dont think it can be noticed, i think they all look the same painting wise.

Lore master and skycutter

First up the loremaster, he's done and dusted and im very happy with how he turned out, possibly the best in my collection.

Also here is my skycutter im working on, i've pinned the chariot so that i can configure the crew in anyway, and they're spreayed and ready to paint. I think it looks pretty cool so far i actually like the model, i know a lot of people hate it because its unusual, but i think we have to take an "its magic i havn't gotta explain shit" attitude about it.

Chariots

Currently working on my chariot unit (i want 3 chariots and a chariot prince because theyr'e awesome!)

First pics the one im working on now, its the 6th ed chariot (all crew present but unpainted, the spears actually visable in the left corner) its coming along pretty well, i really like how the sculpted bits on the front of the chariot came out they look cool, now just to get the bows on the side painted and some detailing and shading on the wheels because they look as flat as a pancake.

Second pics done thats a 4th edition chariot (from 1993, the bastards older than me lol) that came in awful condition from ebay the chariot yoke was missing, and had no horses so i used the ones left over from my old lion chariot and the riders weapon was trashed so i re-built and kit bashed to make him an on-foot noble and re-built the yoke with greenstuff as best as i could.
I then found the bow armed dude on ebay (god bless ebay!) and used one of the metal sea guard that are on my painting table waiting to be done as the second crew man. He looks cool in there i think and his wargear makes sence as he does have a spear and bow in the rules so i like it.

And lastly the final model is sefalyn the old special character, i'll probably just use him as a prince i love the model so when i saw it going online cheapo i snapped it up before somone else could get it!


 


I have another chariot (another 4th ed i found on ebay) coming in the post, as he's intact unlike the old one im going to have him as the prince and get the newer plastic kit to round off the unit and use the lions as unit fillers for my white lions mounting the charioteers dressed as lions on the legs of some old cavalry i have lying round to make good old lion cavalry! Which i think everyone will probably agree is the most commonly done conversion in the whole of the high elf army.

BATTLE TIME!

BATTLE TIME!

Me and my dad were going to play tonight as were both in a local "world cup" style tournament andboth in the same group we set up and got the magic rolled up, and then because dad had an earlyshift in the morning, we said that as this was for a tourney we didn'twanna rush it, so instead we left it there all systems go for tomorow, let battle comense!


Heres my force, we both have special characters as thats the tournament rules, he's got thanquol and i have allarielle, MAGICAL DUEL BITCHES!

Heres his more numerical force... Damn skaven, and yeah that dragon does have a warp cannon on its back! Fun fun fun, 2 cannons a helpit and a hamster wheel -.-

This is gonna get messy!
Battle Standards finished!

Wow that was quick, ireally like how that turned out, i love the fire effect and i think its simple enough to not be a pain in the but and ditract attention from the general, while still tying in with his theme (gold armour and slightly nicer blending on the clothes lol)
