Re: Enemy of the Month (February) - Who do you LOVE to HATE?

I'm voting Vampire Counts here; as amazing as my regular opponents fluffly Strigoi list is, it's just no fun to play against. A horde of about 40 ghouls, Vampire that reduces Ld of units near him, Necro doing the same, and a Terrorgheist in 1000pts is no fun. I'll post the list up if you want, it is...

Re: Finally, actually starting my High Elves; Baroque style!

Okay, first 4 Archers are half painted. So, these pics are WIPs, as is clear. I just wanted to get comments on the colour scheme so far, and as much constructive crit as possible. I'm really happy with the blue right now, and with snow bases it should really come out nicely, but I do feel my ability...

Re: Finally, actually starting my High Elves; Baroque style!

Ahhhh! I'm relieved that it's a positive response to the idea so far! I'm not sure with the whites whether I should build on greys to keep it a cold white, or khaki tones to give a Warner tone. I suppose with snow and blues grey makes sense, though. The long term plan will be to build scenery like t...

Grimmjow's JRPG Baroque Elves (WIP!)

For about the 3rd time now, I'm going to return declaring I'm going to start my High Elves; but this time it's actually happening! Whether anyone remembers me still or not... I've no idea. To give my excuses to any who do, they're as follows; I got really busy, and consistently indecisive over what ...

Hey again! Colour scheme assisstance!

Hello! It's been a long time since I last posted here - like two years? Basically now I'm home free I need to get my High Elves painted up! Last I was here I was painting my VC and now I realize I need a nice compact army to trudge around with me, instead of cases full of Zombies and Orcs/Goblins! N...

Re: New Island of Blood rumour?

I'm so stealing the idea I saw of using those Griffons as Eagles. I spent enough money converting my own Griffon lord, those chickens can go down as some eagles. Saves me buying the boring, generic GW ones, and saves me buying the largest Warmaster dragons I could get.

Well take heart. Its tough to get models to the standard you want. I start and restart paint schemes all the time until I'm happy with something. My advice is that if a unit is coming out well, churn out as many models as you can from that unit until you get sick of it. Then continue the trial and ...
