Painted pretty early on (when spellsingers were called mages) this was for a long time my best painted model. Using the GW colour scheme for the model but with a limited palette, like no bleached bone type colour, made for a lot of experimenting. Still it came out ok even though the skin is a bit dark for an elf. I really like the model, even quite like my paint job. For ages it was my only mage in the wood elf army which was kinda problematic as I really didn’t like fielding mounted mages, I still don’t so now days he’s consigned to the cupboard.
Waywatchers
Here are six of my eight waywatchers. As you can see three have black bows and a more green and black colour scheme where as the other three have bone coloured bows with something of a more autumnal theme to them. Really nice models though kinda showing their age now both in sculpting and my painting ability. This is a time when I used my own colour schemes and you’ll see I did weird stuff like painting green boots… I’ve done that several times when using my initiative and not once have green boots or gloves looked acceptable. The one thing I am happy about is the eyes. The eyes on my waywatchers are some of the best I’ve ever done.
Ariel
Speaking of brightly coloured paint jobs this is my Ariel minature. A more ghastly looking minature I don’t believe I possess. If I’m fair the style is heroic so you can’t quibble to much about its lack of proportion still she’s rather unattractive and the wings are quite thick, which you can’t really see from this picture. The robes are pretty good, though my drybrushing hasn’t really done them much justice. All in all it’s not a miniature I’m particularly proud of but it’s here for completeness.
