Sylvanneth

Painted a few Sylvanneth on and off over the last couple of years as I slowly build that age of sigmar army out of my old woodelves (oh how I miss woodelves,… you suck GW)

The Arch-revenant was a Chinese resin knock-off, brittle and with many imperfections. Fixed most of them and really happy with the colour scheme. I don’t feel to bad about buying it, at the time you couldn’t buy the model and the box that it came in was sold out. I posed it differently, a better pose I think. I also think the colour scheme is nicer than the box art and I tried to do the nice effect on the blade so that it was similar to the Branchwych.

Finally got around to purchasing the old Drycha / Branchwraith model. I never liked it but the Branchwraith is a better character than the Branchwych. I think I did a good job, as much as one can with such an ugly model. The new Drycha is way nicer. Something for the future perhaps.

Branchwych is painted following the box art. It’s a pretty nice model and I really like how the scythe blade came up (the transitions are a little harsh in the photo). Also like the colour scheme on the grub.

A plain treeman in autumnal colours. I was inspired by somebody elses paint job, I think on and Ancient and tried to do it here. I’m not convinced by it and have some minor regrets, however I find the box art version even worse so <shrug>. A little OSL (object source lighting) on the spites, not my best work, not that I’d ever tried it before, but it kinda gives a vague impression. One of the spites on his… antlers? is broken, I should probably fix that.

Lastly another sixteen dryads to go with my other sixteen. Not much to say there. They’re fiddly to build and paint and they’re a little bland but actually I quite like them. I even painted one of the owls this time.

Godrakk, Fist of Gork and Weirdnob Shaman

The missing pieces to my Ironjawz army. Wasn’t really sure how to go about painting the cabbage dragon, but I wanted to go with green. In the end I did the wings a little different. Godrakk is a bit on the dark yellow end of the spectrum. There are times when I wish I hadn’t gone with the yellow scheme but it does standout on the table and is pretty different from everything else I have.

Weirdnob is again just following the box art. Nothing special there but I am pretty happy with the smoke from his staff. I was worried when I went to paint it that I might not be able to do it justice but I think, while it’s not perfect, it’s a pretty fair reproduction.

Keeper of Secrets

Greater Daemon of Slaanesh which I purchased and painted for my eldest son James birthday to start his Slaaneshi army. Never been a fan of Chaos myself but they do have some pretty cool models. Purple, pinks and pale greys are not colours I’m particularly familiar with painting so this is a bit of trial and error following the box art. Looks like the box so must be a success. Took advantage of the spare shield and sword to add something to the base on the instruction from James.
