Title: [WM] My growing collection
Post by: Meraklis on August 20, 2013, 01:12:32 PM: Despite GW withdrawing its support and not releasing any new models for a little while I have not stopped collecting WM miniatures. Until now I have two 2000 points armies; a High Elf and a Bretonnian Force and I am just begining to acquire the necessary parts to build an araby and undead army.

However I realised that despite the fact that my armies are mostly painted I never posted any pics online...

This has to change!

Here are my high elves:
(roughly 2000 points)

and my bretonnians : circa 700-800 points (the rest is still wip)

I am thinking to paint them using an off-white khaki for the trousers and sleeves and a dark green for the jacket. The bows, belts and quivers will be in bestial brown and the turbans in space wolves grey highlighted with white.

I should have a test - stand completed by today so I can show to you ...

On a side note does anyone have any good reference pictures of araby (i.e. painted armies like sigur's on warseer) ?

I should also mention that my old opponent Athens_Fantasy will be starting work on his Dark Elves as soon as he goes back to London so hopefully we shall see some of his work as well :)

Post by: Meraklis on September 14, 2016, 08:26:05 AM: 3 years have passed but I remain active and continue to paint!

Unfortunately getting a game of warmaster is practically impossible where I live but I have always enjoyed collecting and painting.

I am currently trying to finish my bretonnians (3 units of peasants, 2 units of men-at-arms and 2 units of bowmen plus 2 grail knights and 3 knights) and also to start work on my Araby and Lizardmen.

Let me show you some recent WIP

And the start of my Lizardmen collection

Athens, Greece. If you ever happen to visit for holidays let me know and we could arrange a game!

Post by: Meraklis on September 15, 2016, 08:18:09 AM: Progress has been made

Those eureka sculpts are beautiful! Perhaps the lack the character of GW Lizardmen but they are still great
