Dude! Loving the whole thing! Can't believe you think the wardancers look messy close up! They're awesome! Living the kitchen sponge flowers will be "borrowing" that idea. Also I agree with you on orion and think you've managed to make him look animated. The owl is simply a credit to you. stunning work and inspiring! :D

No i dont have any you tube channel sorry. Thank you for the compliments. Its been a while since i have done any wood elves now. Longing for a new book to know what new to add. Only new thing i have for the army now is my wildriders who have gotten new wolf mounts. (40k fenrisians). this reminds me i need to update this plog with those additions.

Greens are orchide shade mixed with skull white upto the final highlight. About 5 or 6 layers, the a watered down thraka green wash.

Browns are schorched brown highlighted with graveyard earth. For the leather parts or layered with mixing in red and orange upto yellow with Devlan mud was for the "mahogni" hardened wood.

Blue grey is usually fenris grey layered up with white

Glowing eyes are Iceblue and white

I haven't got many things painted since the release of the new book, but that's because all my hobbytime has gone into building stuff.
So far after the book I've build:

10 wildwood rangers
25 eternal guard
2 araloths (one converted)
2 treemen
1 treeman ancient
1 Durthu
3 warhawks
3 treekin
10 deepwood scouts (converted)
10 wildrider
5 Sisters
A converted mounted BSB
2 shadow dancers
2 waystalkers and 3 more waywatchers

Left to build
2 more wildriders
3 more sisters
5 gladeriders
Sisters of twilight on dragon

All I've painted is the 5 sisters

Thanks.
So far it's just a basecoat, 2 layers of drybrush and various washes. So there is still some work to do.

Thanks. It's not very good pictures. The starlight sky thing I'm going for on the horses barding looks better IRL. The picture takes away all the blending there. I'll try to get some better pics when the base is finished

I have to thank you now mr. Baardah because you've just solved my problem. I didn't know what to do with sisters, and I didn't want to buy new box(es) of riders/sisters and waste money. I was trying to mount them (sisters) on horses but it looked plain. Now, if you don't mind, I'll put some cloth on like you did. That will solve my problem with plainness. Great conversion, I like it a lot!
