Treasure Troves

Evening folks,

Thought I should make an effort to have a bit of content for folks to browse although these first few might be a little boring until I find my feet or start to play small games/complete painting units.

First thing was a little treasure trove I uncovered looking through my old stuff - Ariel (I don't think I can even use her in this edition!?), a warhawk rider and the sisters on a dragon!!! Not too bad to boost my meagre single glade guard unit. I know that I can't use the dragon but its still a great wee find that it fits with the wood elves, tidy wee unit to paint when I am good enough. Unfortunately I am toying with buying a unit or the army book over the next few days (my poor wallet). I need to look at my army list though and decide what units to take. I had planned on this as the first 500 points of my glade guardians -

1xSpellsinger,

12 glade guard with Standard Bearer and musician,

5 wild riders, standard bearer

5 waywatchers, champion

=499 points

Any advice on the list would be great but I will look to build up a larger force sooner if I can. I can't wait to paint dryads/spirits and play the army itself. I may buy some glade guard since I am a fluffy player at the moment and love the wood elf autumn colour scheme (again in my head). I expect to use some warhawks as well as some wardancers and more glade guard. Dryads look fun to paint and I will buy them despite hearing bad things about them along with eternal guard and wildwood rangers. All in good time though.

I have popped up a picture of my lucky find along with the newest base coat of the second glade guard pre wash. If you see anything I should/could be doing better on the base coating let me know. Any help or advice is gratefully recieved. I posted a picture in my last entry of the model base coated and washed, I want to add some fiery orange to it perhaps but like how the colours seem to work well together so am a bit unsure about disrupting the 'smooth?' look of the colours, again any advice on this would be fab.


Thanks for reading,
