I painted this guy up last night in between applying coats of Micro Sol to the Silverhelm decals. Yes his eyes are painted, but they were real hard to get.



I went with a simple rune for my command. One of the meanings of this one is Lordship so I guess that works for a commander.



The red, hair and leather are all done on the Silverhelms and the decals are applied. I went with two white roses for one of them (nothing better then watching some flower toting elves beat up on some Orcs/Dwarves/Dogs of War) and a falcon for the other. I was originally going to go with a sword but on a 3x5mm shield all you could see was a line of white.



Next week I have to finish the shields, touch them up and base them. It'll be tight but they should be done by HAVOC on Friday night.

I finished basing my last four spearmen units this week along with the Silverhelms as well. Just in time for HAVOC!



Pokey Brigade Numeral Dos is ready to poke some enemies in the eye.



There was a slight blunder with the Silverhelm's decals. I applied them in such a way that each unit would be made up of identical strips. After a facepalm/panic attack I was releaved to have found the extras I printed. All and all it amounted to little more than annoyance.



The pennants came out alright. I got pretty close to the edges with some of the designs but given that they're supposed to be cloth in the wind I guess it's alright that the designs aren't perfect.





Finally, a close up of the Brigade of White Roses. Ain't nothing more emasculating than getting trod into the dirt by a bunch of flower toting elves.

The most notable part of this thread is your atrocious pseudo-Spanish. If you're going to drop in the "Dos" you should use "numero" as well. Think of the senoritas!


Lookin' good Dave. I can appreciate your method of inflicting psychological damage on your opponent with the roses. That's right up my alley.

There's a reason why I didn't call them "Numero Dos", Google knows the answer.

Ah. No reason to make people think you dropped one of those.
*snicker*

I picked up where I left off with the Reavers a month or so back. I managed to get the base coats down for the horse flesh and tack. I should be able to get a wash and highlights on them this weekend. After that I'll move on to the flesh, red and white.





HAVOC was this past weekend and I picked up some of the Army Painter flock. I like it because it's not the ultra-fine foam/sawfust powder. Here's my first trial with it. Thoughts? I'm still planning on putting the tufts on as well, but I think it's going to be a lot easier to put this stuff down first.



Also, I was digging through some old models and found my dragons from the 6mm Dragon Lords line. Aside for the wings (too dinky) I thought the Purple Dragon would make an excellent Giant Eagle mount proxy. I've since named him Eagon the Dragle and managed to get a High Elf character off of a horse and on him, complete with headswap. I'm picking up some wings that I think will work for him tonight.

The Reavers are coming along, which is good because I heading out to Adepticon on the 18th. I did the leather flesh, tassles and pantaloons this week. Next up is the white, silver, bows and fletchings.



I still have to convert the banners on these guys too, hopefully I can get to that this weekend.



I got the wings for Eagon, I think they worked out pretty well. They still need a bit of putty work though, and I think I need to pin his sword arm as it breaks too easily. That'll be a blast...

Nearly done on the Reavers. All that's left is a wash on the gold, highlights on the hair and fetching, and touchup.




For the pennants I went with the classic Elvish Flaming Ying-Yang o' Death and a silhouette of a running horse.






I also finished up the putty work on my other Wizard this week. Everything from his left foot to the bottom of the staff and up is putty. He came out pretty good I think.






The Eagon the Dragle conversion is also done now too. I sculpted some skin in and around the wing gaps, replacement robe ends for the riders and a saddle and tack. I also started putting some paint on him.

That's one of the first things I painted, a Robotech Destroid toy back from the early 90s when it was repackaged as part of the Exo Squad toy line.

Greeting from Chicago. The Elves are done enough for Adepticon. I still want to finish basing them, and paint up the dragon and eagles to go along with them. The general's below. I might go back and repaint a few things red and or gold to make him stand out a bit more. I was pretty happy with how the decals came out though.



The second wizard is definitely a step below the first one I did. Not sure what I did to make the white so clean the first time but I couldn't seem to replicate it with this guy.







The Reavers are done as well. There was definitely a lot of details on these guys. Kind of a combination of the chariots and the archers in terms of painting.

how's Adepticon? You must be as happy as a pig in poo! Did you take any of your EA armies with you?

It's good, I got a boat load of swag today and some nice prizes. I brought my Marines with me. They two games today and my Elves three. I've got three EA games tomorrow so we'll see how those go. Definitely a cool con.
