Thanks guys. Ya, I'm hoping to do an army shot too before the end of the year. We'll see how it goes.

I started on the chariot and bolt thrower crew this week. Two dozen guys painted up pretty quick in comparison to the Spearmen... You'll note that the cloth tied to the spears is red. It was originally white until Matt poo-pooed that.



I've got one more highlight to go on the skin and leather, then the hair and touchup. These guys ought to be finished up next week so I can start the equipment or horses, haven't decided which yet.



I've got to come up with some banners for the Bolt Throwers though, and while I'm at it designs for the cavalry as well.

Without concerned folks driving you to achieve, I doubt these would look as good as they do. Really, I think I can claim equal credit for your high elves. Don't worry though, I view mentorship as my solemn duty, not as an opportunity for (however richly deserved) fame



...what?

You can look up their skirts if you like to see if you see any.

as long as they're not Scots Guards skirts, I don't think I could bear the shock

I took last week off but unfortunately didn't have too much time to paint (miniatures anyway) most of my time was taken up by projects like this:



My Grandpa wanted his shed's roof stripped and repainted so I went to work, the above pic is after the primer coat on my 1:1 scale shed terrain. My Aunt noted that it would've probably been easier to buy a new shed but I digress...



I did manage to finish the touch-up on the chariot and bolt thrower crew though, again I'm noticing some things I missed though thanks to the macro. I'm hoping to print out some banners for the bolt throwers this week along with shield designs for my Silver Helms to finish them up.





I started on the horses too, using some dry brushes. I'm planning on stippling some gray on the white ones, not sure what I'm going to do with the duns yet. The bays are one step ahead of the rest though and I think they came out alright based on my source pictures.

Dave, love this thread the paint work just keeps getting better and better, Bit of red oxide primer will keep it rust proff for a few more years, typical women saying it would be easier to buy a new


Look forward to more upates, p.s have you decided what your doing for basing/colour on these little fellows yet

Regards epic

Thanks man.

My Archers have the "final" basing style at the moment:

I still might add some fine green flock though, not sure yet.

I started on the chariots this week rather than try and finish the horses. I got the basecoat for the wood down and did the white and red lacquering on the front of the chariots. With my army colors I had a choice between Candy Cane Elves or Japanese Elves given the design on the front of the chariots, I chose the former. Hopefully I should be able to finish these guys up next week as I'll have a couple extra nights to paint.

please sir, can I have some more sir?


can you make these guys do YMCA a la Village People? Now THAT would be neat.

I don't know about YMCA poses but I could probably find a porridge bowl or something.

Nearly done on the chariots. All that's left is to wash and edge the bases, glue everything together and hit it with dullcote to take the glosscote shine away. The horses all ended up getting washed with Devlan Mud, in the end I think the Coat D'arms horse tone paints came out pretty realistic.





All that remains for the Bolt Throwers is to get some banners designed to put on them. I've been trying to finish up the decals for the Silver Helm and Reaver pennants before I print them out though. Find designs for that is a little troublesome.



I also finally based the spearmen too. All they need is another dullcote layer and the grass.
