From Millsy: Ylthari's Guardians and Sylvaneth Heroes (30 points)

G'day All,

My brain needed a change from Orcs and Arabs, and with a busy week ahead I decided on something smaller than my normal weekly effort to paint for this submission. I've already got a number of Sylvaneth minatures painted as a warband for Warcry and I've added to that now as I move towards a playable force for Age of Sigmar.

Ylthari's Guardians

Ylthari's Guardians is a Warhammer Underworlds Warband, several of which I've bought now to give me options in Warcry list building and simply because they are just amazing, one off characterful sculpts.

My personal favourite is the miniature with the glaive and the flowers but they are each beautiful in their own way and were thoroughly enjoyable to paint.

Sylvaneth Heroes

Druanti the Arch-Revenant and a Branchwych are two hero / characters than can do double duty, either as heavy hitters in Warcry or as low-middling level commanders in Age of Sigmar.

Druanti the Arch-Revenant

I'm not sold on the purple wings and I may repaint them later to something close to the skin tone. What do you think?

Both are slightly modified from the standard build. I've swapped out Druanti's shield for something a little less chunky and more elegant, and left off the scorpion tail the Branchwych normally sports as I just think it looks weird and doesn't suit the miniature at all. If you didn't know it was missing you'd think this is what the completed mini looks like.

Branchwych

These are all on or near 40mm in scale (but not quite!) and as they're technically 28mm (what does that even mean now?) I've scored them as such...

6 x 28mm miniatures = 30 points

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,

Millsy

Oooooohhh! These are very beautiful and terrifying figures and painted so well! The blues and purples look ethereal, a cool contrast to the dark woods of their bodies. Very effective and characterful and fun on the gaming table. I also really like the runic standing stones, great back drop!

30 points to you

From TeemuL: Spite-Revenants (25 points)

Time to add another squirrel to my tally. These 5 Spite-Revenants will be joining my on-growing Sylvaneth army, which I have actually used couple of times during the last two years. We decided to try Path to Glory campaign again from the AoS 1st ed, but with 2nd ed rules etc. This was about a year before AoS 3rd ed was released, but our campaign is not yet finished... I'm quite close to end it, but not enough. Hopefully these angry chaps will help me to achieve my goal.

Spite-Revenants are Sylvaneth Outcasts, rather mad and angry compared to other Sylvaneth units. They are a perfect fit for my army, since it's background is quite angry itself: a force which got angry with Nurgle and other enemies trampling their forests, they decided to strike back. My whole army has this same sinister and darkish purple scheme, only the small spirits and trinkets are bright coloured and no green anywhere.

A Pile of Skulls

This unit is a bit of a glasshammer, they have lots of dangerous attacks, but break like glass, if struck. The maddest of the mad, Drycha Hamadreth (who I already have) gives them some bonus, so I need to keep these close to her. These are naturally plastic from Games Workshop and they could be assembled as Tree-revenants as well, they are not-so-mad and basically the standing army of Sylvaneth.

The paintjob is almost a cheat, most of the area is just white undercoat with Druchii Violet on... Some red on the leaves, yellow (under Druchii violet) on the "skin" parts and black on the vicious blades. Stirland Mud on the base with some yellow sand to mimic fresh pollen, which the army brings with them. And of course some skulls, they are fighting on a boggy battleground, which has seen Nurgle and other enemies fight back and forth - these skulls are from humans and orruks, total of 13 of them. The skulls are a common item on this army, so I didn't invent this to bring more skulls to the skull throne, it is just a coincidence...

5 Spite-Revenants should give me 25 points and a squirrel.
