To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
Well I started to get into the Wood Elves a month before the release so I could pick up the old battalion and see how it played. Here is my army so far:
I started to try match my Daemons but they looked too un tree like.
Then I made it more green!
but I couldn't get my glade guard looking right.
she looked better in Autumn
So my trees turned Autumn
Some elves died and turned into these treekin...I obviously still have no direction!
But I was enjoying the Autumn Dryad theme.
So I haven't painted that much of the army in 2 months and now with the new book I was thinking of making the army darker...more Modryn like
This is where I am sort of stuck. I want a darker army but I don't think my Deepwood scouts are looking right yet. So what do you think...orange or Modryn ish?

My thougt is he had a lamp under the glass plate where the models are on. This gave the shine
You can push, but I will push back...only harder, much harder.

That's a great way to "see" where to put the glow effect though. Line up your models, take a picture with the light under them, paint what you see on the picture.
I might give this a try!
Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
Haha hilarious. I did not think of it that way. My phone ran out of batteries so it couldn't flash so I put a lamp underneath. But that is a freaking good idea to make it scary!
Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
Having said that. . Do any of you guys know how this can be done convincingly? You would run the risk of having blue Dryads.

This effect is called object source lighting. You'll find a lot of tutorials if you google object source lighting tutorial or osl tutorial.
Some involve an airbrush, but you'll also find some that don't.

BAM indeed! I always find it amazing how much bases make a model. Really nice Autumnal theme, and good luck with the source lighting from the spites! Look forward to seeing it.
Have Fun, Stay Sane, Enjoy the Madness.
Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
So my treeman finally came in the mail today. Got a bit excited and didn't read all the instructions and mixed and matched the ancient with durthu bits. Voila a weird dynamic ish pose. I had to re jig he's left arm. Oh and I couldn't bring myself to give a treeman a weapon at first. How unfluffy right. ... But it must have been the glue in the air. That spear is freaking awesome.
It's kind of annoying the ancient isn't really a combat machine.... This guy can easily look like the general for the army.
Oh and those small horses around him are my converted Dryad centaurs as the sisters (transformations) of thorns.
Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
Those 'dryad centaurs' are stunning! and a brilliant idea if you are going tree heavy!

Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
Your treeman looks set to be an awesome centrepiece, very dynamic and I love the spear stave.
The Avenging Woods
So..it has been a while.
I have regained some motivation with a new 2000pnt list that includes the treeman as the centre piece general.
Treeman Ancient
Beast Singer
Captain BSB on steed
15 dryads
10 Trueflight/ hagbane guards
10 Trueflight/ hagbane guards
6 Treekin
5 Wild "Centaurs"
5 Wild "Centaurs"
5 Thorn "Centaurs"
Treeman
My completed 15 Dryads (I know it took ages for such a small wood unit) and behind is the Treeman Ancient with its first coat and a half!
My second Treeman...I couldn't help but modify the pose a little. This one is just walking along looking angry.
My Wood Elf Captain BSB made into a centaur.
Well that's it for now. Now new goal is to complete painting that treeman ancient like my Dryads.

Durthu with beard looks great, and centaurs alike. Go on with autumn theme, dryads are awesome.

Very cool treekin! Looking forward to seeing the finished treemen.
Re: To go Autumn or Modryn? Pic heavy
