Looks beautiful, how are you achieving the cherry blossoms? Are they something you buy or make yourself?

Re: The Red Danes Wood Elves and Sylvaneth. Picture heavy.

Very nice, did you follow the glowing eyes tutorial from the forum? as for the horse painting, i saw a video on youtube detailing, how to paint good horses, he used a lot of layering to recreate the horse hair effect, i thought he had some good tips. Think his youtube account was docter faust's pai...

Re: The Red Danes Wood Elves and Sylvaneth. Picture heavy.

Thank you for the compliments. Yeah, I decided against shadow warriors because they seemed too "metal" with their equipment, I want as little metal in my army as possible. I may still buy a pack of Shadow Warriors simply for the draw hands and quivers. I also have some brass etched ivy vin...

Well then! I finally got started putting my models together, so I'll be updating my progress here.

Re: Ideas for new Wood Elves AoS - Formation

Since now the Sylvaneth are a separate and independent army, with their own formation, I'm not sure how getting a formation makes them separate and independent when they are literally in the same army book. Minotuars, Gors and Ungors all got their own formations in the Beastmen book and no one is s...

Elf music! Or the ever popular "What do you listen to?"

What sort of music do you listen to when you're painting wood elves? Or when you want to feel inspired or in a "wood elfy" mood? The following are mine: Wardruna , is just choke full of primal ambiance and helps get into a good mood for making woodland bases and such, I'd say they're my go...

Yeah, you get the branch-nymph as a free upgrade to each unit of dryads. One model in the unit is nominated as the 'leader', but you only have one leader per unit. p.s. Has anyone else noticed that the Branch-Wraith's "Roused to Wrath" ability is one of the few summoning spells that comes...

Re: AOS Wood Elf units, strengths/weaknesses

The problem is that in AoS a 1 is not an automatic failure and a 6 is not an automatic success. So if you can get your save down below +1 preferably to a -2 to avoid that pesky but rare 3 rend you unit is literally immortal against anything but mortal wounds. I'd still say that stacking the same eff...

Jury's out on stacking casts of Mystic Shield. I thought I read somewhere you can stack modifiers. Someone on twitter posted a quote of it. It could just be someone quoting some random forum post. As an example: You can stack +1's to your save roll, for example by having mystic shield and being in ...

That's a good suggestion, I'm not very proficient with greenstuff though, it's something I'll need to train. Though I assume it's not hard to cover up chainmail/scalemail and make it smooth.

I live in Alaska where the native villagers (Eskimo, Inupit, etc) can hunt whatever they want because they live a subsistence lifestyle. They are allowed to hunt whales, but they are the only ones. Here in America, if you want to eat a whale you have to go to the source. We have puffins too, but I'...

The rules, under the combat phase states "The player whose turn it is picks a unit to attack with, then the opposing player must attack with a unit, and so on until all eligible units on both sides have attacked once each." Now, I'm not saying that you're wrong about Soporific breath, but ...

Re: So, Stormcast Eternals, how do we deal with them?

Yeah, That's correct one of the big points is that they have no wizards. One needs to keep in mind that ones own Wood elves are also slain if they interact with wyldwoods since Wood elves are not Sylvaneth. So casting magic near the wyldwoods should not be done if you have any Wanderer units near th...
