Tale of Warmaster Painters II: March...

[azrael71]

Now for 3 units of Bestigors





And a group shot of all 4 of them.



Also managed to prep and undercoat 5 units of chariots and tuskigors.
They will probably get done next week.

[Guthwine]

Finally got the first unit of chariots ready, the second one only needs some basic am last minute corrections.

I have to say this is my personal miniature nightmare. I hate that thing from painting to assembly. The horses and crew are fine with me but the wagons, god I hate them. Thats why I got a little sloppy on them but sometimes its better to be sloppy than never to finish.

The idea behind the black horses is that the horses pulling the chariots are from a different breed than the white/grey horses for the riders.

I like the black horses.
Along with the colour scheme.

Just seen some really nice 28mm phoenix guard in red armour over on warseer.

Anything is better than blue and white 

[jchaos79]

Yep black horses are really original.

[David Wasilewski]

Kudos for the black horses - helps with the normal High Elf "too much white" syndrome!

[Guthwine]

Thanks guys, though they are not that original. I just figured that if I dont keep to the blue/white then black horses are not that big of a change.

And as promised chariot unit no.2



I actually like them alot more than the first unit. I guess I just got used to them, just like after visiting the hair-dresser it never fits, right afterwards.

This concludes my february entries, then lets get started with march.

Next unit will be the second unit of spearmen, Ill be off, searching some runes/symbols for the shields....

Greetings!

I remember from 4th edition High Elves army book for Warhammer, that black steeds supposed to be "evil-spirited" and as such never used by HE. On the other hand, the same story said that they were often the target for Dark Elves raids. DE stole the black steeds and used them as mounts in Dark Riders units.

@Guthwine: I like your colour scheme and I am looking forward to see those spearelves of yours. I am especially interested in the shields desing.

[David Wasilewski]

I have now done the flesh, hair, wood and metal on my 3 regiments of halberdiers - about half way there I reckon!
Robes and detail (flames etc) and basing to do. Will post piccys when they are finished. I suspect it will be another week or two though.

Another slow week for me.
I manages to finish off modelling and undercoating my chariots and shaggoth.
Just waiting for the horkuns to turn up and I will start painting.

So in the meantime I have been gettin gmy chaos horde ready for sale.
This included rebasing a lot of them for consistency, touching up a few units and painting a dragon and 4 units of warriors.

Here is the resulting 3000 point list (minus 2 units of harpies pics to follow).
The colour on the dragon is not as vibrant/contrasting in the pictures as it is in real life

You, sir, are sick!!!!

[MrMarkRelf]

Boy, It seem like a long time ago that I posted my semi painted units.

With the ravages of work, I will get finished this lot about the time that I retire !

However, see attached first 2 units of Araby Spearmen, as you can see I am using the shield colours to differentiate between units.

Currently on bowmen, which I really hate because of all the fiddling around with individual figures.

I have put self adhesive felt sheet under each unit which helps them to stay on slope.

Everyone else is well ahead so I must start getting the muse on a more regular basis !

[vincent]

I'm pretty late also. Too much work and real-life stuff

[azrael71]

This weeks stuff.
Cannot see me getting anything else done

One dragon ogre shaggoth.

[vincent]

I've done 3 units, but basing is not done already I'll see them probably at the end of the week.
I guess I've spend to much time of my fortifications

[jchaos79]

Very cool shaggoth!
