Ulthuan

I know it has been a very long time since the last post (and even longer since your last post) but with all the development in the 9th Edition fan project, I wanted to ask if you have taken some time, reading through the possible changes to high elves. If yes, I would highly appreciate your opinion ...

Well, I have been in the hobby for 10 years and really like the fluff and rich background of the "old" Warhammer. But then again, as the army books of the 8th edition were published, I didn't even bother to read the texts. I knew the story of Athel Loren, of Ulthuan, of the Ogre Kingdoms. ...

I am as excited as you are and I definitely don't want to spoil your thread but since we already have a rumour thread, maybe we should stick to it and collect all important news in one location. It would be much more easy to follow. I hope you don't mind me posting the link below. I just want to mak...

" These were the End Times. The world is no more, torn apart by treachery and Chaos. And yet ... endings beget beginnings. Listen carefully. Can you hear it? The cruel laughter of dark gods? It dances on the winds between worlds, striving to be heard, for the ruinous powers bore easily and the...

" Just when you think you know whats happening (before it’s happening) another rumor comes along and changes your outlook. Via Steve the Warboss Age of Sigmar is not the Starter Set of the 9th Edition. It will be a Board Game like Space Hulk or Execution Force and with this Set, the Releases of...

Some news regarding the Starter Sets: “Age of Sigmar will be not the first part of a Three-Part Ruleset in the 9.Edition, it will be the Name of the first Starter Set. The Set includes Simplyfied Fantasy Rules, based on the new Edition with Skimisher Rules. Age of Sigmar will be an easy and “cheap” ...

That sounds like marketing. Of course it does. But then, what doesn't?... I still hope, GW will release all upcoming models with round AND sqaure bases. I really want to stay with my newly built up HE army (or elves or what it will be called then) but I do NOT want to rebase everything. But I don't...

My sakasm-detection must be faulty ... which of your posts is the less serious one? Since this thread is called "9th rumours", I repost todays third entry from BoLS. :roll: from Harry: I think I said it depends on your definition of squatted. If by squatted you mean can you still use your ...

Maybe not new but maybe better readable than the earlier post: Originally Posted by Neo-birdy Hey Dan, don´t want my name associated with rumours since I don´t know how much GW actually check stuff on forums, but anyway to make a long story short, a guy at GW HQ phoned me today & we had a long c...

It seems, today the rumours broke loose (even if the actual "news" are not that new anymore): via Steve the Warboss 5-27-2015 WFB 9th Release Window Details -6 Weeks of Releases -Rulebook and Accessories -Starter Set -First Armybook (Empire) -Released in quick succession -“Sigmarites” are ...

New post on BoLS today: Via Marcus Beli by Zamerion. The rumor comes from a guy who confirmed some things from GW, I do not care who is taking canes or who would be retail, for me it is the same !!!! - The 9th edition of Warhammer th come for summer - On the Bases: We play with square bases but afte...

Erm, great replies so far, thanks! I did something with the poll... Unfortunately all your votes (6 so far) got deleted... I am really sorry for that and apology for it. I won't touch the post in the future so nothing like this happens again. If you are able to, please vote again. Thanks!

Hi guys! Even as the 9th edition is still a month away, many of you will have heard the rumours about the new base design. As for now, we cannot be entirely sure what will await us but just imagine, the rumours are true and the game will be played with round bases. Would you, from an aesthetic point...

Thanks a lot! I've tried to come up with a solution regarding the contrast/colour-question but so far I could not think of a satisfying one... Maybe you all could get more specific? I just saw some minis online (hexwraiths) with a similar (but more greenish) look but with all metal (armour, weapons,...

Hey, guys. I got bored during my work for university and thought, why not try out a new colour scheme. I have always liked the ghostly looking miniatures (hexwraiths for example) and since we are a magical race (and have walk between worlds as a spell), here we go: - base colour is skull white spray...

Whilst I am not a huge fan of the colours you've gone with (just overall the model is a little bit too pale for my taste) I am a huge fan of that Loremaster! A fantastic conversion and a great paint job to finish him off. Lovely base, lovely pose. Great work! Well done that man! =D> Do you have any...

Thanks guys! I appreciate your postings very much! They are motivating me to get my ass up and finally start a unit. Maybe some archers to test the look of the colours. Or probably I am going to finish the BSB...

29.01.2015 New Loremaster Of Hoeth - Hand Crafted Well, it is a very long time since this topic has been updated but I just finished my new Loremaster. Even if I told you that the GW model isn't that bad imo, I designed my own version of this powerful mage. I used the legs, torso, arms, the banner t...

This may be because it is a shameless copy of Arwens banner...

26. June 2014 Battle Standard (without a Battle Standard Bearer, though ...) A few months have passed since my last post but university has consumed most of my time and I wasn't able to paint much. But I replaced my old BSB, or at least his banner, and made one out of paper. So, the banner below con...

Hello and welcome to Ulthuan.net! Your request is a quite huge one and I am sure there are many players that are more capable of giving advice in detail. All I can say is, yes, of course it is possible to use only mages and a BSB. Many good players use this character set-up (look for Tethlis' Army B...

Hey, Tethlis! It's good to see some new games of yours and since I first encountered your reports on asrai.org when the 7th ed wood elves book was released (and I had a little WE army myself back then) I enjoyed them even more. Since all 3 elven races have been released by now, I came up with a litt...

Absolutely true. Some less effort on faces, especially eyes (damn HE and their lack of closed helmets) and highlights is the way to go. When painting units, it's the look as a whole that counts. Single models won't draw attention anyway (except in the front maybe) so small mistakes are permitted. Be...

Incredible work. How long did this take you to paint? I used to be a very slow painter and I am always stressing this fact but to be honest, I painted the Loremaster in about 30 hours (I guess; distributed on 3 weeks). You can decide for yourself if this is slow or fast. For me, it is very fast. Bu...

Great looking Loremaster an very inspirational!!! How did you achieve the stars on the cloak? I ask because I'm wanting to do a similar effect on mine. Thanks for sharing the pictures. Sorry for my very delayed reply. I haven't checked my own thread during Easter Holidays. The cloak I started with ...

Thats one nice paintjob! The clean blending, free hand galaxies and glazed blade (nice balance between the red rune and blue gem!) are particular highlights. I've yet to paint my Loremaster model - your work will surely be inspiration to get to it ;) Thank you very much for your kind words. I am a ...

Hey! I thought it seems a good idea to start my own painting blog on Ulthuan.net. Maybe I will come back to this lines and edit them to write something about my intentions and so on but for the time being I won't bore you with it and come straight to my first model: the Loremaster Of Hoeth 10. April...

I had to go through this whole Public Health thing for myself a few month ago, pal... On the model: I, for myself, like brighter colors on my elves but I actually like the dark scheme on the Phoenix Guard. The dark cloak and the bright orange flames contribute to their background and make a good con...
