I still LIVE! Update and WIP's! Super Pic heavy

Jake and I are still I alive I swear! Our car took a dump on us so even though we had a Wednesday free... no one would give us a ride so... Really frustrating but there it is.

We have been working on painting/ building our armies. We have been doing some conversions too, so we would like you all to take a look.

First... He is DONE! :triumphant music and a chorus of angels:
Orion.





I also redid my Spellweaver as well as decided on a colour scheme for my Waywatchers; they are from the ash grove, a grove which is eternally on fire. I had originally planed on making them from the moonlit glade but they really stood out so I went with this to keep the reds, oranges and muted colours.


Updated the cloak and made it... just.. better in general.



I also have a WIP of the mount for my Wood Elf noble. I was really annoyed with his... normal horse. So I decided to turn his horse into and elk. I just added the mane and made some antlers our of dryad branches and some green stuff. I am not done with the tails off the saddle; going to add some leaves and stuff off of that then paint those and finish him. I haven't even started on the noble himself so this is what I got so far. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.



Also! Took one of my new dryads (thanks ed!) and decided to convert her into my own branchwitch Drycha. I did not really feel like spending extra money on the model, and I don't really like it anyway, so I just made my own. I put branches over her face, changed the position of her legs, and made all kinds of vines and branches to her feet to make it look as if she really is growing out of the ground. Let me know what you think.

Everything is looking really good keep it up!!!

I have more! I have decided to turn all the extra glade riders I got into wild riders based off of the Wilt-Leaf Cavaliers from Magic the Gathering.


So what I did was take the arms off all the extra bows I had, and then glued them to the heads of the wild riders heads to make horns. I am not done with them they are very much a work in progress, but they are going pretty good so far. I plan to put a bunch of green stuff to make ribs and spikes on the horns, put some longer hair stream off their heads, and make a leaf shaped forehead guard on all of their faces. As for their mounts, I am turning them into a combination of the mounts on the card and the Kirin from Monster Hunter

So they are like unicorns, but with twisted branch like horns ('cause they are branches.... ) and the huge manes like the Kirin. Again these are WIP so the manes are not finished but I do have the first layer down.
Here they are.



Also, here is the standard I am working on for these Wild Riders. I still need to add some leaf vines trailing off it, but it is coming out pretty good so far.


I also finished the horses for my glade riders. I am pretty darn proud of them, now I just have to paint the actual riders... ^_^;







I will post up soon when I am finished with the glade riders. I will also update with the Wild Riders, I should be able to finish the conversions on them soon.

Looks good as always! keep up the good work! I really like the wild riders your making can you do a group shot of that unit when your done with them all?

Oh yes, of course.
I almost have the glade riders done, and then I will start work on the wild riders. I will probably have to remake the stone base for my Wood Elf Noble because he is too heavy for the plastic mount and the Styrofoam rock.... so if anyone has any advice on how to mount the elk securely into a piece of quartz I have without cracking the rock, I would be very appreciative.

Oh, and good news! We will be able to make it to the league tonight! And we will have another beastmen player in tow! He is very new to the Fantasy game but he has a pretty good Eldar army for 40k. I hope you guys are still going. Jake and I can probably make 2000 points but our Beastmen friend only has 1000.

The league has been over for a while but open gaming is still taking place and we would be love to have you all. I personally am working all day so will not be able to play any games but i will see you here tonight!
