My Woodies.

Post by HammersIR »

My army is slowly turning out to be a mean one.
As of now, I have the following:

Plenty of Glade Guard,
16 Glade Riders,
12 Dryad and a Converted Branch Nympth/Wraith
7 OOP Dryad
Mounted Lord, Lord with Bow
Male Spellcaster with staff, Male Spell Weaver,
1 Converted Mounted Spellsinger/Weaver on Unicorn
10 Eternal Guard
10 Wild Riders
6 Treekin
Great Eagle
Orion
1 Hero on Stag,
5 Converted Nobles/Highborns

One Treeman WIP created from scratch.

I really am having trouble choosing a color scheme to paint them. I am gearing towards a tan/grey colors. And less green.

What season are the greys representing, Winter? Are the Asrai and forest spirits both going to be grey?

I just added what my Branch wraith/nympth looks like. Let me know what you think.

This is what i want my glade guard to look like, more or less:

It is a good start and an interesting idea for a color scheme. You just need to make sure there is some more contrast in the colors (ie a darker tan and a lighter gray). If you are near a GW store (or most gaming stores for that matter) then I suggest going in one day and sitting down with the employees there. They will usually be willing to let you try out different color schemes on test models and give you some painting tips as well. That is what I did to pick out the colors I would use.

We look forward to seeing more of your work. :nod:
And now... perfected. My Fighting Uruk-hai!

Sorry, I couldnt get the plane of focus to do what I wanted with these quick shots, and I was pretty tired, but this is what I have so far. :)
