Beware the Wrath of the Trees!!!!

Evening all! Painting of the Wood Elves continues... Here we have a classic 1990s Treeman - a Greater Warbeast in Dragon Rampant. It has been painted in the usual style, but with extra highlights to make it 'pop' in a few places...

Next up.... Some archers... FINALLY!!

Progress...

Well, I am pleased to report a gradual return of the painting mojo. No pictures today, but I can report that progress with the Oldhammer/Dragon Rampant 1980s Wood Elves is coming on rapidly! In the past three week, I have base coated and dipped:

12 Scarloc's Archers;
15 armoured Elf Spearmen
2 heroes, 1 of which is a cunning conversion
A classic treeman model

I am in the midst of base coating

12 more Scarloc's archers
The classic 1980s Elf attack chariot.

I have a load more left to base coat, including:

3 mages
12 more archers
12 swordsmen
12 classic unarmoured spearmen
6 Dryads

I also want to get 5 eagles on which I intend to mount some classic 80s Elf knights!! Trouble is, metal eagles cost a bloody fortune!!!!!!

The aim is to get as much of the stuff base coated and dipped as possible, so that I can then focus on highlighting. This is thus far working! I also intend to get cracking on some Elf cavalry, as I started those using the Dallimore technique and need to finish them the same way! This is challenging due to dodgy eyes, but I have done 2 already, plus the general and therefore I need to do 7 more to get a decent Warhammer unit. If I can do 4 more, I have enough for Dragon Rampant.

Anyway, pictures as soon as I have anything fully finished...hopefully at least a few archers before Christmas!!

Last models I painted

Here's a pic of the Oldhammer Elf bolt thrower I painted before Christmas. I decided to go for a starkly different approach compared to the original which had a colour scheme copied from 1992 GW  schemes.

Note also the 1980s models I decided to use for the crew. I'm really pleased with this. The same scheme will be used on the chariot squadron I am about to start painting.

Pics aren't great but I'm experimenting with the I-pad...
