Good tidings for Yule and a Happy New Year to everyone! Hope that 2022 is a bountiful and enjoyable one for you all.

The new Guardians look fantastic, very excited for this year.

What a fantastic looking army, congratulations!

So I don't know if anyone else has been keeping track of the Advent rumour engine but it looks like Eldar are finally going to get some new releases.

As our brothers and sistren in arms in the grim darkness of the far future I'm certainly keen to buy them.

What does everyone else think?

Excellent work as always KNC! Love the city in the background.

Quite a few are pretty big warhammer fans.

I think Robin Williams is probably one of the biggest, he had a huge Blood Angels army.

Vin Diesel is also pretty big into D&D and 40k.

Really like the colours on the dragon, makes it look like something that's just risen out the depths. I'd maybe say the mage could do with a different colour though, to create more contrast!

What I love about the unit is how between the unusual colour scheme and the subtle conversions, it has a clear identity of it’s own. Totally agreeing with SpellArcher ! I love them. For the socks, maybe the paint is a bit too glossy and too dark compared to rest of the horse ? But my experience on ...

He’s awesome Olthannon, the colours are spot on. Your photography leveled up too! Those shots are so vibrant, good job on those colors, they're incredibly striking! I particularly like the sword :) Btw at some point I needed tails for my horses too and I bought some from a UK-based seller of metal ...

Great work Azaam! The bone colour of the armour is really cool. I think my favourite is the turquoise seaweed. The contrast makes that colour pop so beautifully. They will look great as a unit.

I think I missed it but the round shields... are they from dwarf minis or somewhere else? Hi Nicanor, yeah they are from the old Dwarf sprue, can't remember which ones exactly. The round shield works great with the axe. It's a good find for the looks you're going for. I was just taking a look and I...

Really nice work on those swordmasters. I agree with Azaam, the bases are great.

I think the trouble is we just don't know a thing, which of course works well for GW. Keep the hype train going folks. Choo choo!

Thanks for the kind words folks!

Quick update to show off my second reaver, the musician. Three more till this first unit is completed. I also gave the first one a shield.

Enjoy!

Really cool looking eagle, that blue is very interesting.

Looks great. It's becoming an impressive force. I had the same realisation at some point. I was always painting individual units and it always felt like slow going. Until I put everything together. At some point I calculated the points of all the painted models I could field and I got somewhere ove...

I read an article recently (possibly BoLS?) that sounded about spot on. Won't get model previews till mid next year according to a leak. Stuff at the start will be more definitely Old World (dwarves, Bretonnians, Empire, Chaos etc) and then it won't be for a while before we start getting the more ou...

Hi everyone! A topic that is near and dear to all of us Asur, the painting of gems! Does anyone have any good tutorials (either ones they've done themselves or have seen online) to share? I'm used to doing the classic red gems from the old army books but I'm really interested in finding some tips fo...

It looks fine Olthannon but I’d have been tempted by red. Thankee kindly, yes I am also thinking either red or possibly a navy blue. I like him, and I agree that the axe is a nice touch. As for where to get greenstuff, there's a fair few online stores that have it. Ebay is a pretty good source for ...

Hi everybody, Finished up one of my Ellyrian Reavers. Pretty happy with the result, I was thinking of going for a more colourful helmet plume but in the end I just kept it white. Of course with a Chracian army, I thought they would suit cavalry axes better than spears. Maybe somewhere down the line ...

Very cool mage, you did a brilliant paint job. What model is this?

You've made these look very good Olthannon. The shields really stand out too. They look good ! Love the shield. I can't wait to see those WL painted with your style ! Hey thanks both! I love these models, I'd like to get a full regiment of them. Managed a good day of painting today. As you guys kno...

Nice stuff Tyrren, particularly like the detail on the waves!

Well, I figures when they said in that earlier article about it being 28mm and such, they said about wanting everyone to be able to use their old models. So I think there will be some releases, mainly of Empire and Bretonnians (?) but the lore will be there saying that other armies are there so go a...

Excellent work on the mounted noble and the noble steed! That dappled grey works wonderfully with the purple.

I think perhaps not, but if you happened to see on the Border Princes map they released, right in the south corner there is a Scarab emblem, so that suggests some sneaky Tomb Kings.

Good luck with those Dragon Princes, I never actually bought some myself back in the day but I quite like the look of these newer ones. Hadn't thought about the fragility of them but that sounds like a nightmare!

Hi everyone,

Just a quick update with the other 3 spear elves.

Next up I'm going to put together an army shot finally to show off my Chracian warhost so far. Next on the paint station will be a mixture of my Ellyrian Reavers and some white lions too.

Cheers

Love the shadow warriors, look very neat as a unit. But the grey seer, wow! That's actually a really cool model. Skaven were my second army and I've got a secret love for all giant rats!

I have to say I'm quite a fan of some of those AoS Dark Elves, they are much more in keeping with the old style.
