The ghostfence fence: have sanded it today. Sand and flock will cover the GS Lumps.
Eyes: I've stopped doing them. Though on my characters and "special" troops I use the glowing blue eyes technique. And I start that with a white dot to make the blue clearer.

As I said they are all WIP. And I think it's also worth mentioning that the earliest pictured are of models I painted right after I picked up the hobby after ten years of absence. And before I settled on a colourscheme I'm satisfied with.

And thanks all for comments and suggestions :)

EG are close to finished now. Only have the basing left.

Well no c&c yet... I'll start with some Myself.
The green spire on the unitfiller. Not shure if it fits with the rest of the colourscheme. Think it should maybe have bin a pale blue.... Any thoughts? I'm also interested in hearing what you think of the converted EG. Do they seem believable as EG models?

Very nice stuff Baardah. I especially like that ghost fence - a very novel idea, which I might steal for myself!

Very nice, the Eternal Guard conversions are such pretty models, I think you did them justice.

In my opinion, I think that owl is a bit too much, like it doesnt belongs there. But, hey, its only my opinion.

Here is something WIP pics

This is a reaper pathfinder Eldritch knight. Swapped the sword arm for a bow. Will use it as a waywatcher lord/hero with a spite.
Image

Here is another waywatcher that I slightly converted since i didn't think it looked well with two such visible models looking the same. Gave him a search and cut away the log he was standing on.
Image
And a WIP paint job to test out the colour scheme. Need to sharpen it up bait before I will call it done.

Hi there Baardah! :D
Really like the colour scheme you used, I´m thinking about a similar one to my army.
I didn´t start painting yet, still have to assemble models.
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Great ideas here. I love the pegasus riders - great alternative to the expensive warhawks as I have some peg knights and glade riders standing idle. Also like the spites as unit fillers; simple and effective.

Hmm.....all that work and no comments....Well next up will be Orion. He is painted but I only have 3G internet on my iPad available until early next week so cant post pictures yet. I also received the Syl-Iriah model the other day which i Intend to represent both Ariel or a regular spellweaver for normal games. Its a fantastic model and i hope i can get it painted to a level that can make it justice.

Very nice painting you have done. I think the movement tray looks a little bland though with only patches of grass,adding sand and painting it like you bases will solve that.
I'm looking forward to seeing your take on Orion as well. I too have an iPad (well my dad does) so I know how annoying it is that you can't upload from it.
Anyway keep up the great work.
