Araloth The Lord of Talsyn and Eye Thief

Damn I love this model. I like to think that Araloth was actually once upon a time Gaymar the Foccer who found a bird who could do all the fighting for him and built a legend! The very idea and rule mechanic that the little sparrow can swoop down on the mightiest Chaos Lord and pluck his eyes out his hilarious.  

As for painting I cycled through all my Spring colours: turquoise, warm greens, yellow and browns. Painting this model is relatively straight forward as there are a lot of open spaces ripe for a little freehand. I carefully sketched in the basic shape of the freehand design with a thin, short hair round brush. I put down a brown outline then I began to highlight with a warm gold colour and finally pure white. I think I'm starting to get a handle of freehand designs and I hope to do a fair bit more in the future.

Treeman Ancient / Durthu new plastic kit

What an utterly gorgeous kit. I knew from the outset I wanted more of a classic paint job - earthy oranges, greens and browns. The wood effect was created using a base of a red brown highlighted with pure white, then washed with orange. In the very highest parts I have added texture to the wood to resemble bark. The ghostly blue was a nice contrast to the warmer tones of the orange, red and brown. 

From very early on I knew that I wanted the Treeman to be a part of the base. I used Army Painter basing kits to add foliage and flowers sprouting from parts of his body. 

I decided to give the option of changing between Durthu and a Treeman ancient for versatility. The Treeman Ancient's pose is very dynamic and I feel it suits the warlike nature of Durthu.
