Re: Royals' Plog [Space Marines and High Elves]
I just stopped in my local GW and the 40K Escalation League starts on February 2nd. That means I need to get my but in gear and paint up a Tactical Squad and a Rhino! I have just about two weeks to get this done. I will post pictures soon!

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
So, I managed to get the base coat of green on 4 out of 5 of my Terminators. The last one should be base coated tonight then I'll start with the highlighting. I'll try to snap a few pictures tonight.

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
This month is going to be a rough one for me. I've been doing a lot of house hunting and wedding planning. I may have to change my goal to just one squad of Terminators. At least I have those assembled and primed!

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
When I finally assemble mine, I'll have to raid some bits sites for kneeling legs. I wonder if you could use those legs on Spearmen to have the front rank kneeling?!?!?

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
Nyeave, I like how your front rank is kneeling. It definitely gives the feel of the Archers volleying arrows.

Re: Royals' Plog [Space Marines and High Elves]
Yep! It's a good excuse for me to hold off until the new High Elf Army Book is released to buy any miniatures. If I keep up with my painting goals, I'll have over 2000pts+ of painted Terminators!

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
Despite having his behind handed to him on a silver plate a few times by them, my cousin keeps claiming my elves are a buch of handbag swinging wussies. So I decided to give this little guy a Louis Vuitton bag (we might be wielding handbags, but they are full of BRICKS!!) I looked at the bag and th...

HaHa I've got the Book and a box of the fancy new Terminators on preorder. None of my stuff is painted yet, but I've started doing some conversions. When the box comes in I'll have parts to make the second terminator squad different from the first. I have four boxes of Terminators that I have yet t...

Re: Gatewatchers - Cyn's PLog - Lion Chariot
I see you've found how hard White is, thin it down and do layer after layer, that will give you a much smoother finish, takes a long time though ^_^ I really like that freehand banner too, dont sell yourself short.

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
That's a really good idea! I might have to steal that so the extra musicians from the multiples of Island of Blood don't go to waste. It looks pretty simple. Did you just lop the arm off?

Re: HE 1000pts Fine Tuning
I like your changes; however, I might change my core to LSG since I like the models. I definitely see merit in Archers and will be working on getting some to add to my collection.

Re: Monthly Painting Challenge - January
As an update, last night I finished basing 15 Tactical Marines. I totally forgot to assemble the Marine with the Missile Launcher, so I will need to get that done tonight. I have also completely assembled the Rhino and the Razorback. If all goes well, I should have them primed tomorrow evening. I'll...

Re: 2500pt list
I like this list except for the Reavers. I am still new to High Elves myself, but you already have Great Eagles in your force which perform the same role as the Reavers. I'd think about dropping them and perhaps even the Bolt Thrower in favor of another unit of Dragon Princes or White Lions. I also ...

So, this is the start of my Plog. I've been working on churning out a unit/vehicle a month. I've added a random assortment of what I have painted so far. The pictures below are of the models before they were completely finished. I will be sure to take more pictures of the finished products. http://i...

I've been doing a lot of research and lurking over posts; however I just need a little bit of fine tuning my list.

Re: 1000 and 1500pt Lists (Help a Newbie Out)
I think you may be over on your Heroes in the 1,000pt list. Without magic items, your Lvl 2 Mages weigh in at 270 combined points.

Plastic Giant Eagles
I am not sure if any of you have caught wind of the new White Dwarf, but supposedly there will be plastic Giant Eagles released for the Hobbit Strategy Game. I definitely will be grabbing a box of these to use with my up and coming High Elf army.

I'll be sure to put up a plog. You can see a little of what I've done on my blog.

As for the weathering, that is all drybrushing with some inking.
