Definitely not Naieth the Prophetess accompanied by not Othu the Owl. Gorgeous composition, still they required some creative work. The great spellweaver is too small for a hero, so she needs something to lift her up, to be visible. On the other hand her staff is very thin, so it needs protection from big clumsy hands.
Another dude represents a wizard "on a stag". The only known sculpt by Artisan minis has very unfortunate fate: one mini has the broken thin horn, the second was misprinted to the mess. So why not use a chariot like every other faction? The elf-wizard by Varus fits into it just perfectly, he simply stands, not floats.

Many thanks, I appreciate it.
I had old gw Warmaster armies back in a day. They were... controversial. Some minis were really good, highly detailed, looked like copies of 28mm. Some were... Let's talk fair, some were awful. Like 'please, no, remove it'. Modern 3d-printed minis are way better detailed. Moreover, gw didn't make all the armies that are included in Warmaster list.

The green looks very good once again.  I think that yo have the shade for that just right.  GW made some decent models for Warmaster back in the day.  I wish that I had got into it.

Started making wizards for my army. This floating dude is magnificent! Rich detailed and very robust, he's worthy of carrying the Ring of Magic to autocast spells. The big dryad is a fast filler between complex minis, but even there I managed to complicate things. It was a pain to fit those branches just like this. Nevertheless they are now not only a decoration, but also a shield from breaking the fragile model. And her hair. Yes, I painted her hair in a transition from green to bright orange and hid them by branches. It's something familiar to humans grey hair, when hair-tips become grey first, the same happens with the old dryad's hair.

You have some great models in this topic. The green, in particular looks so good.  That old school vibe is working very well and I look forward to seeing more.

Thank you very much! The project is almost done, 2 units of light cavalry are in the queue, and some heroes remain. I know, it's better to have more infantry to increase break-point, nevertheless cavalry for me is much cooler. Probably, the next year I'll return to waywatchers and eternal guard, or maybe not.

Going all the way with the old school vibe! Wood elven chariots have been made as the proxies for Wild hunt, because any army needs shock cavalry, but the Lost Kindred is too far away from Athel Loren. Chariots are always stunning as a result, they look like small dioramas each. The way to this result was too long.
Thanks to Forest Dragon and Cromarty Forge for minis and Kallistra LTD for bases.

Gorgeous pieces throughout these pages, sir! I really like the pocket sized pieces you made and the objective markers too. Great work!

Many thanks, I appreciate it. I hope, you've mentioned the minis, not the flat proxy set, because only it is pocket sized.
Sometime this warhost will be revealed in the full glory.
