The Darkwood Court

That's really something else.

@Lavieth - Thank you very much mate,  that's really nice of you to say. It's definitely got an atmosphere and feel to it that I'm proud of.

@MrZakalwe - Cheers buddy

 

Next set of faction pics to come soon.

The tree-throne dude and the stormcast without the helm crest thingies are my favorite. It is all amazing.

[KnaveOfScribes]

Cheers @Thundercake, much appreciated. The King is something I'm really proud of, both in terms of how the conversion turned out and how the painting went. And Stormcast without the crests look a lot more sinister I think, definitely something to try over a larger scale at some point.

Such a great ending! You really did great work here @KnaveOfScribes. Absolutely inspired me to think more narratively about my own Sylvaneth.  

[martinwolf]

Holy ******, this is amazing.

[KnaveOfScribes]

Afternoon folks, and apologies for not replying sooner - been a busy old few weeks since finishing up the Court.

@Arnied3, thanks very much man - great to hear you're thinking of jumping on the narrative train. I might be biased, but I think it just makes everything better in terms of how you feel about an army and how enthused you are to paint and play it.

@martinwolf- Haha thanks man

So it's not all been resting on my laurels over the last month or so - there was an Everchosen entry to paint (more on him in a separate post) and plans to make for my next big army project. Anyone following me on insta will know that Eldar are next up for me, with a twist of course. But once those and possibly some Inq28 goodness is done, it'll be back to the Mortal Realms for potentially some Shyish flavoured IronJawz fun.

Anyhoo, thank you all very much for all the support, encouragement and kind words you've given over the course of The Darkwood Court project, its been amazing. You guys have been ace, and its been ace to know you all enjoyed this so much. Thanks for coming along, and I hope you'll join me on the next project.

All the best,
Knave
