It is delicate. .. But I man handle my models while I paint so the weak bits always fall off. I just re glue sprites and arms with pins and in harder to reach places. Not as tough as trees but won't break unless they get dropped.

Superb! Really lovely autumnal color scheme - dryads and GG look top notch and great looking tree man too. Your customizations are daring but really work well. Looking forward to seeing the "sisters" regiment and a full army shot.

The treeman is terrific! Great work on the base too. That really pulls it all together! Keep them coming!

Autumn Elves - I guess the choice has been made

A bit slow lately...but still not giving up!

I have been toying with a High Weaver and Death singer on unicorn. I really liked both and decided to make one up using some random bits hellbron and green stuff.

I don't think this picture shows the colours too well but I did some orange cloak Glade Guards to mix in with the brown ones I did a really long time ago.

and here are how they mix in my unit of 12

I did the exact same thing for my first squad of wild riders, except I used Marauder torsos because I didn't think I could get Dryad torsos to fit well. They look great!

Amazing work! I love the color scheme. Hellebron on the Unicorn is pretty awesome too. Keep the updates coming!

These are awesome! I just started painting my Autumn themed wood elves as well. Absolutely love the oranged tips on the Dryads. Took note of that for when I get around to doing mine! ;)

Don't forget to add a tiny amount of yellow on the orange tips. Ooo what should I paint next the unicorn or 3 treekins?

Mate this army is looking really nice, please continue. Great vision in the kit bashing and the painting is superb. Please if you only paint one more thing do the Unicorn, but seriously it would be upsetting to leave this half finished.
