Allonairre's WIP Thread

One more update before the deadline.

Chariot, Reaver and Bolt Thrower

As you can see everything is moving apace.

Crew I hear you ask, well they are being built from bits at the moment, -t really put the acid on by posting the deadline thread for Cyric, I was hoping for an extra couple of days just to take the heat off the final deadline.

Everything is looking really good thus far! Is this all that you have left for the ToP?

[Andusciassus]

I love them.
The NMM on them elfsings is looking ace.
Can't wait to see the chariot finished.

Yes that and the 4 crew that you can't see. I have done a bit more on the reaver now and added the white highlights to the golds on the chariot and done the little round dragon on the front of the chariot. Still don't think I will get the crew finished as well, we shall see.

Thanks heaps, I really can't wait to see them finished as well, with all the crew and quivers etc overall I am pretty happy with how it is progressing.

[Allonairre]

So this was what I posted for my final ToP entry, there are no crew, I haven't had time to build them yet, the CHariot crew are going to be used for a Lion Chariot later, and I don't know where the Repeater Bolt Thrower crew went. The entire Reaver unit didn't get much love overall and none of them are finished at all.

I think that the Gold Dragon looks way better in the photo but it looks ok in real life.



2 Links to army pictures but these can be seen on the ToP thread.

Ok so I have gotten a bit lazy about updating this, I have done some more on the Reavers, enough that they might almost pass as being finished. Not 100% happy with the base, it is my first attempt at snow and it seems to be a bit overpoweringly white.

Was thinking htat I might add a bit of green flock and maybe some tussocks just to make it look a little more spring thawish.

Basing is not a strength of mine so I would love to have any help here.

So Pics



Hopefully I will continue to improve my basing, I think it looks better in person than the photo but it is still an awful lot of white. particularly on the models t the left where the rocks are behind the horse.

As always thanks for your advice.

Looking at the photo, I notice that there are alot of extreme highlights missing from the metal round the bows, will have to go back to that, got to learn to be more thorough.

[Andusciassus]

I think your bases look good. THey are not too white IMHO. Before you start meddling with them try to just tidy up the edges of them bases I think it could make quite a difference.
Other than that I have but my awe to give you.
Awe.

very very nice stuff, especially the sword masters, nice clean finish, keep it up!! It's really nice to see painting of this standard as i can't get anywhere near it myself...

cheers

I am contemplating joining in the great painting race, I fuigure that I have plenty of rep to give to the winner and it is best shared around. This would be another thousand Points of HE with the same colour scheme

Dragon mage *** points

Archers *** points

2 Bolt Throwers *** points

5 Reavers or Lion Chariot *** points

Something small

This would be about as hopeless gamewise as an army could be but I have a dragon that I started to convert 18 months ago and I need to up the core for my army as well as needing more Bolt Throwers. Could finally attempt to do some spearmen in this scheme but as that really needs to be a unit of 25 I will struggle, guess i could think about them in blocks of 10 as a 2 month thing. The army really needs some spears.

Another block of Archers will be posted in a week or so either way.

[Allonairre]

Well that attempt at joining in the painting race would go down as a fail I guess, anyway my friends and I are doing our own Tale of Painters type thing, but with only 150 pts per month. I started off with a Lion Chariot (below, but not totally finished). This month is going to be a spearman unit of 15, that I hope to add too later on.







C&C welcome
So next is 15 spearmen with command for 160 points.
