Complete: Treelord Ancient

So it was a little while ago I finished my Sylvaneth, but it's taken a while (and a new camera) to get some decent pictures. So here's the completed Treelord Ancient, with the loincloth sampled in to match Alarielle's dress and leaves in the colour of Autumn (because he is ancient, after all).

Just to show the contrast, here's a snap with the TLA next to the much younger Treelord back-to-back.TLA_TL.jpg.03e9e0c2d9005ecb4db65fc31296cd56.jpg

And here's another just to show the theming of the wider army, with a Tree Revenant (I prefer pale flesh to creepy blue skin!) and a Dryad.

Hope you like them! Comments, feedback, advice or questions always welcome. I'm working on some shots of the other elements of the army, will post soon.

These are great - my only critique is the basing - its very much in the Games Workshop style, but on such large models I think there is so much more you could do to add interest, particularly now with the creeping vines and skull packs, as well as all of the different tufts and grasses that are available. 

In terms of the painting I think that you have clearly got the hang of highlighting and blending effectively, but now you need to consider colour choice and position more. For example on the Treelord you can create a much more effective composition by repetition of the spot colours in more areas. As an example above you could use the ice blue from the loin cloth on the claws, head dress and ends of the spirals on the staff. Hopefully this will give you some ideas for your next army :)

Thanks - you're right about the basing. I need to have a little more discipline and patience to finish that side of things too, especially on the larger models. The Alarielle base is huge, so I will take your advice and think of some good stuff to add :)
