A sample picture of the artwork for the 'Moon' textures has been released.

(Sigh) Yes cutting out can be a wee bit of a pain, but with a decent art knife with sharp blades it doesn't take that long. Actually quite a bit of cutting can be done with sissors which does make the job a bit quicker.

Just because there's been a lot of suggestion that allied forces are likely for WHFB 9th ed, maybe we should have a discussion. Allied forces is basically a rule system where you can take forces from another army book to compliment your own army, in some reasonably limited fashion. For example, a H...

The cost of each pledge option has now been reduced and the perks with each option have now been increased.

I was wondering about how it works. Do you have to print them yourself, or do they send you a printed set (preferably printed on something a bit sturdier then paper)? Problem with having to print them is that the end result depends on the quality of the printer a lot. And, a bigger issue, I don't a...

In my opinion the textures are pretty hard to beat. I used to make my own paper structure kits which I had available for free at one time on a geocities website, but when I see something like the artwork on the Elven Mill I know when I'm out classed which means I don't mind paying money for quality,...

I like the Moon textures too. The dark textures don't really interest me as I've never been a Dark Elf player.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/elven-papercraft-tower-wall-set/x/7478346 The link is to the campaign on Indiegogo to develop a set of structure parts specifically for Elves. I'm really excited about it and have already put my pledge in as in all my time as a wargamer there has been such a lack ...

Failed my chariot pledge last month so I'll try again this month.

I didn't finish any chariots due to getting ill (again!) in April. I guess I'll try again this month. Teledor, I love the colours you've chosen for your Reavers. Red is so rarely used for High Elves and you've made it work really well. Swordmaster of Hoeth, I like everything about your Sisters of Av...

Riding on a phoenix would very much put you in the hot seat

I haven't done much at all this month due to being ill and having bad joint and muscle pain (again!), but will still get my brushes out and see if I can move my Pegasus chariot on a bit more.

Hold on a moment, don't start laughing, - have a look at this........ http://onemonk.com/FB-Elven_Alliance.html $9.00 or so for an entire good looking army. So, - how much did you spend on the last army you put together? The last big club game I played I used my Silk Road Elf army which was complete...

Whilst most Mantic stuff is poor, the Panthers are just crying out to be used in a White Lions army as White Lionesses. . I've had the same thought to tell the truth. The Sisterhood minis are highly convertible to she-Elves and look a lot better than those she-linebacker Sisters of Avelorn that GW ...

Is reading while riding a horse at the gallop a good idea?

Just funning it's a great pose.

What I would always find annoying was having to buy a new expensive rulebook and army book. Having just started playing Mantic's Kings of War the one thing I found to be really excellent is that their rulebooks & etc are available on PDF and I can put them on my tablet. No more out of date ruleb...

Wonderful, - whenever I make a return to WHFB there's a new edition about to happen. Suddenly Mantic's KoW rules are looking very appealing.

Brilliant! I love seeing other folks' sculpting work. Your Princess's head is lovely and is as fine as any I've seen.

I made a custom base for my Sisterhood chariot. I had some kind of two part putty stuff I'd purchased at the local hardware store left over from a handywoman project so I used that applying it over a 1mm ply base. These are cellphone camera pictures coz my good Canon camera is busted. http://i783.ph...

Panthers, - I've got twelve of them to paint and for a wee while I was at a loss to decide how to paint them. Just now as I was making myself a cup of tea the thought came to me to paint all these panthers in the same way that I'm going to paint my Ethiopian Pegasus. That way the whole question of w...

Lot's of us do blogs. Mantic really ought to hire some decent painters. That's what a lot of folk are saying on the Mantic forum. I was on the brink of throwing out some old pots of dried up GW paint when I noticed that some of them weren't dried up hard, but instead the pigment was still crumbly a...

You carved her body from greenstuff; - RESPECT

This is turning into a blog! So long as the mods don't mind I shall continue. The unassembled still on the sprue Mantic Elf regiment I purchased cheap on Fleabay arrived today. 38 Elves with bits to make them either archers or spear-Elves plus a whole lot of extra bits including some wounded/dead El...

You are quite right Rob, - I found an Australian supplier on ebay who can sell me the big rolls cheaply and the postage is really cheap too. I cannot understand why modelling and sculpting putty is sold by wargaming shops as if it has a gold content, - it's crazy :roll: They sell the liquid greenstu...

The Mantic box of 10 panther riders arrived this morning which cheered me up a lot. Mantic cases are nice looking with their colourful artwork and a decent plastic case is better than a cardboard box, but inside, - once inside........ it's plain that GW this is not. The case contains a plastic bag f...

I used Centaurs in my Avelorn army as Reavers. They were little feral she-centaurs made from some old sulpts that Amazon Minis used to sell. Sometimes my opponents would laugh because they were just little things, but they were very fierce armed with round wicker shields. bows and javelins (spears) ...

Having got as far as a dry assembly of the chariot I can report that while I love the details on the castings it's not exactly easy to get the thing together. Flash was average and easy to remove. Mantic use a nice soft malleable alloy that's easy to clean up, - I used a sharp craft knife blade moun...

Well my painting session last night came to a screeching halt when the end burst on a tube of Burnt Sienna and splattered the front of my blouse. An emergency rescue attempt on my blouse took up the rest of my painting time, but I can at least report that I was able to wash all the paint off and it ...

I can't find my paints :( I've set myself up with a nice painting spot on the dining room table (which I only use if I have guests), I've got the models I want to paint sorted out, I've got more brushes than you can shake a stick at, but I can't find my paints!! Oh I've managed to find some of my pa...
