[WM] Del Boca Vista, I mean WM, Phase II
« on: December 19, 2011, 05:22:52 PM »
So Dave, being my primary gaming partner, has been putting me to shame with his Warmaster elves goodness. Therefore, after a long hiatus of concentrating heavily on Epic, I've returned to painting my first specialist game love, WM. I have a lot of odds and ends that have been sitting around primed for a while, waiting for some attention, as well as some new stuff to fill out existing armies. First up, Dogs of War. Some wolf riders to serve as light cavalry:



A unit of pikemen:



Another unit of pikemen, in similar colors:



And then another one, this time in green:

These guys always look better in groups, so a family photo:



I'm stripping down another unit of these guys so I can have a full 4 units. The others were painted before I knew the existence of wash and other painting techniques, plus only had 6 per base. They'll have the green/tan scheme to round everything out.

I also finished this piece a couple days ago. I'll use it as a Vampire Counts character:



Enjoy!

Goblins with vuvuzelas and Santa hats! The Pikemen came out great.

True, and with a much reduced silliness factor  :P
Unfortunately, it's rather hard to find more sets of them out there. At the moment I'm stuck with only one base worth.

Aren't they the statues from GW's fantasy buildings? I bought some from a bits store on-line. 

I never thought of them as a stand-in for bird-men though.   I'll consider that...

Some more WM refurbishment, as well as a couple new units finished.
First up: the second unit of green/tan pikemen, stripped, beefed up with spare dudes, and re-painted.







The pikes for these were much more problematic/bendy as these minis have been in active gaming use for over 4 years.

Next, I painted a couple of BoFA elf bowmen units to fill out my high elf force. I used the same scheme as before, but used highlights and wash. I would recommend NOT following the paint scheme for the cloaks in the BoFA rulebook, as it resulted in some pretty odd-looking green/white stripes.







Next time, I'll have some harpies for Dark Elves/Chaos done. I am shamelessly ripping off Camilcil's basing scheme for the whole army.

Are two of those pikemen armed just with sharpened sticks?

You bet they are!! I was short 2 pikemen, but had a couple artillerymen with basically the same uniforms. I clipped the sponges into points. Their back-story is that some pikes were looted by orks, then re-looted by the regiment, and these two new recruits got them third-hand. They haven't earned their pikes yet, so they're stuck with the resultant pointy sticks   :o .

I was able to get a couple more bases' worth of those building decoration ghosts. I think I'll use them as bats for my vampire counts, since I'm already maxed out on ethereal host.
