happy to veiw. great work on the stag, although with the big saddle he looks a bit fat.

Just looking at some of the earlier pictures you have posted, and I must say, my favorite part is the little bits of purple you use to tie in all of your glade guard. Very nice job, and good choice in color, the end result is awesome.

THat's a wicked mini! I liek how he's more "on top" than "astride", since it's such a huge beast.

The pictures/links aren't working....

Post by **Foxtale** » 28 Jan 2007, 04:21

That's peculiar. They should work although sometimes Photobucket is evil with displaying pics. I just don't upload mine to woodelves.org because I display them on multiple forums.

I can still see the pics.

So, foxtale, do you have any projects underway? How are your stonekin doing in their games?

Post by **Storm** » 28 Jan 2007, 16:50

Yeah, i'd like to know what your gaming opponents think of your models

Projects underway, hmm? I always have projects underway, though so many of them fail that I don't show them. At the moment I'm painting up my Noble on Stump (still, after 1 year), converting 2 more Tree Kin, converting and filing all the bits on the Eternal Guard, repainting my Incubi, converting Tau legs for Wood Elves (they're the same size, didja know?), converting my Treeman from a Krootox, painting up skinks, saurus, and converting three more Kroxigor, converting some Wind Riders, and converting my Wild Riders, not to mention making three skink priests and a skink chieftan. :P

Also, I entered my Stag Lord into the local GW's Golden Gobbo painting competition and won first place in the open category. Since that's really my first win in a painting competition I'm quite pleased with it.

As for what my gaming opponents think of my models, well 'they' think the models are brilliant, since 'they' are really 'me'. I don't get to play other people very often, though I'll definitely start once I have 1000 points. With Stonekin in my games, they're doing on again, off again. Sometimes they're an excellent anchor unit, with the potential to move 10". Other times they get trashed and run away like the old pansy woodelves. Usually they annihilate anything they charge, but get slaughtered when they get charged back.

That stag is so nice! Very good job!

Post by **Hyarion** » 02 Feb 2007, 21:57

Ok, I see the pics now, the dryads are amazing.

Post by **Turin** » 23 Feb 2007, 15:55

Yup, have to agree with hyarion - I really like the Dryads !

Very cool !

i just have to ask; where did you buy that wood elf sorceress model(the one that isn't a GW model)?

Post by **Ardanwen** » 10 Mar 2007, 01:55

Nice job. I like the lord standing on his horse, the spite on his shoulder and his pose. I also like the way you painted the stones.
But there are a couple of things i'd like to say though.
First, the horse looks kinda fat.(Ok I can see that it are muscles but it doesn't look like a agile elven steed)
Also I don't like the idea of the horse wearing metal armour(just my opinion:p) And the pink archers (spites I think?) could use a highlight. (btw are those warmaster models?) Also why does the model stand on stones

(they are well painted though) It kinda ruins the idea of a wood with spites and camouflage colours
overall, good job.

I'm just loving this army. Are you going to post more soon? I'm just anxious on what fantastic conversions or painting you've yet to do.

Post by **Foxtale** » 17 Mar 2007, 08:36

In answer to your questions:

@brunfo, the sorceress can be bought from the CoolMiniOrNot shop, under the SpyGlass Miniatures section.

@Ardanwen, let's see... the horse is bulky because it is meant to represent a Forest Spirit horse. A horse which is born and raised in the wild so as to grow huge thanks to Athel Loren's influence. It wears metal armour just like the other Wild Rider horses. Those pink archers (which are Warmaster models) could probably do with a highlight, you're right. And it stands on stones because it is one of the guards of the Bridge of Birds.

@Tolkar, just for you, here's what I've been working on. (Click for bigger picture.)

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll update this again when I get time.

Hey Foxtale!

Nice to see what you have been up to.
I have 2 questions for you:

1) What is the large Beastie type thing with sprues sticking out of it in the middle of your picture?

2) What will the Elf with the Scythe be representing (character type and gear)?

Thanks!

Post by **Foxtale** » 17 Mar 2007, 13:30

1) A Treeman, surprisingly enough. :P It's going to be a very swampy tree.

2) An alter noble, with either a Great Weapon or a Daith's Reaper. I wanted to properly model a weapon named 'Reaper'.

Post by **Tolkar of Har Ganeth** » 17 Mar 2007, 15:32

Tnx! Looks very promising

. Curious what to expect from that kroot+sprue+unknownthingsstickingoutthing you're working on

. Keep up the good work!

Greetz, Tolkar.

like the models, and the paint jobs, however i didn't like the way the owl was positioned on the spellsinger, when one has a bird of prey, you let it rest on your fist level with your head, you don't hold it up like that, otherwise greta sonversions and painting

Post by **Jak3_dude** » 08 Sep 2007, 04:06

What's the Kroxigor for? Another army or a conversion for the woodies.
If for woodies what is he supposed to be...the position of treekin is taken...

Wow absolutely amazing! Even better than 'Eavy Metal. You know its a wonder you're not on the 'Eavy Metal Team, with your skill.
