My late Autumn/early Winter wood elves!

Post by Feledorn »

I've been working on these guys on and off for the past 12 months and finally finished 2250pts worth of them the other day, so thought I'd post some pics. They started off as a commission job, and I will probably end up selling them at some stage. Any comments appreciated :)

overall very good army - i like you gritty painting style, the theme and colour selection is excellent - good use of snow and the treebeard treeman is perfect and anyone who can make treekin look half decent is a good painter in my book!

awesome! :nod: Great color scheme, nice bases. I also like your painting style very much! There is only 1 very little thing; With the grass it kind of does'nt look like a forest but more like a tundra (is that word correct english??)
Your army has inspired me alot for my army-theme-thing :smirk:
Great work.
Sorry for my English, I hopes it makes sense. If not: tell me.

Like the army, but there som few pointers. Your spellsinger looks like she has a big sit, there ready to pop on her leg and looks like she has mud in the face. thats a do over :wink: Besides that, nice painted army.

I must say that is probably my favourtie WE army to date. The frost effect really makes them look cold and lifelike.

Thanks for all the nice comments :) I was going to sell the army but am now having second thoughts as I like how they've turned out and they're fun to use as well.

The skin effects on the treeman, treekin and dryads was a result of a dark undercoat and some layered drybrushing with vallejo paints (much superior to GW colours IMO).
