elfhead Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 @Speakerdad @ElectricPaladin thanks! always nice to get compliments:D a small update: I've started painting the first of my princes. I decided to go with NMM, just like with Thalion. Allthough the recipe is somewhat different. I might add some more darker tones, but I want to see how it all looks together before doing that. also: don't forget to vote (for me :P) on the Slaughterpriest contest --> vote now! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackDaw Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Great work on the Prince so far, the nmm looks very smooth. Also, kudos on the green stuff cape on the Fleet Master - its so good and works so well I totally thought it was part of the original model.

elfhead Posted October 7, 2016 Author Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) It was such a joy to paint this guy I already finished him (bar some static grass). This prince of Lothern was actually one of the last conversions i've done for the elven prince honour guard. The helmet is slightly over the top but I think it works. I used muted colors on the shield so it wouldn't take over the gold, white and purple color scheme. Both the inside and outsider of the cloak have some freehand patterns. The pics aren't that great, i'll take better shots when I finish more of these. guys. Edited October 8, 2016 by elfhead 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Time for some updates! I've been working hard on the honour guard. I finished three of them, princes from Lothern (Eataine), Cothique and Avelorn. allthough I think I need to go back to the Princess of Avelorn, her eyes don't look good and I'm debating with myself to change the colour of the sashes on her spear to green, similar to the sea dragon cloak of the Cothique prince. I've also finished the horse of the Elyrion prince. Somehow the white of the cloth was harder to paint then the NMM gold... I find myself facing paradox, on the one hand I'm really enjoying painting these and want to keep at it, but I also really want them to be finished... pics:) Edited October 20, 2016 by elfhead 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackDaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Lovely work there buddy. The Cothique prince is probably my favourite of the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagen Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Hello Elfhead! Thanks for letting me know of this amazing community, somehow it passed under my radar! Your conversions on the princes are incredible, I am so glad to see you did not abandon this amazing project, which was one of my all time favourites back on warseer! Your painting technique also seem to have improved a lot since I last checked, your NMM is really impressive, I dare say one of the best of best I have seen around the web (and something I would never be able to replicate). The kraken cloak on the leftmost prince is a stunning conversion idea and very well executed indeed... I might shamelessly steal it form you! You are giving me now a lot of motivation to go back to my Aestyrions! If I will I will make sure to open a blog in here as it looks like a great space to share our visions of AoS!

elfhead Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 @JackDaw thanks man, I think it is a good sign if different people choose different models as their favorite. @Ademo I'm really happy with the shield design. as Cothique and Lothern are both known as seafarers, I wanted to give the Cothique prince different haraldry, based on a different sea-creature than the Lothern Sea dragon. The kraken is also mirrored in his helmet design. @Hagen YES! I'm so glad you joined this forum, I'm very happy to be the one that pointed it out to you. I think you'll like it here:) It would be really great if you continued your Aestyrion. They were a big inspiration for these princes. It would only be right if they in turn inspire you to return to that amazing project. My NMM and overall painting has improved I think. Allthough there is still so much room to grow. getting better brushes (Windsor&Newton series 7) and not holding the model itself while painting has helped a lot. This project has become a lot bigger than I intended. When I first started I thought I had enough stuff lying around to create a small Slaanesh warband. But I have bought lots of bits and models to expand the force and find myself thinking about the backstory all the time. The amount of models that need assembling and painting keeps growing... But I'm having a blast. sharing my work on this forum and Instagram is an important part of that fun and I'm very thankfull for all the critique and comments:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Just a small update. I finally found some hobby-time. I went back to the conversion for te caledorian prince and painted him, although he still needs his shield. I'll take some better pics when the unit is completely done. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagen Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 They all look sweeeeeet, but please, better photo! I am especially intrigued about the mounted prince, I am planning a similar conversion and might need to borrow some ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 It's your lucky day @Hagen, I just took some shots with a proper camera instead of my phone. Although I'm still not completely happy with the pics, they're not as sharp as I'd like. The mounted prince is actualy inspired by your conversion for prince Aelrik. Great to see you posted some more work on you blog! I finished the honour guard, consisting of princes from six different elven realms. the complete unit Prince from Elyrion and princess from Avelorn (possibly a former maiden guard?) Princse from Caledor and Lothern (Eataine) Princes from Chrace and Cothique next up are sisters of silence as Slaaneshi warriors, accompanied by the Sigvald model. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 The princes/princess look great, you'd never have guessed they'd fallen to Slaanesh. The Phoenix Guard legs and cloaks really help unify them, I''m especially in awe of how you've transferred the Phoenix Guard tassets to the mounted Ellyrion prince. Were they done using a greenstuff mould or just lopped off the original legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) @Double Misfire I had to Google tassets:p they're actually the wings I clipped from one of the Phoenix guard helmets.

Double Misfire Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wow, amazing use of bits; tassets off to you! I can't seem to ID his legs either (not super familiar with the elf range) what do they come from? Really looking forward to seeing what you do with the Sisters of Silence.

elfhead Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) @Double MisfireThe legs for the mounted prince are from the silver helms kit. Here's a pic of my first painted sister. I like how she looks, but I don't think I will use the exact same scheme for every sister. Edited December 4, 2016 by elfhead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Alec Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Still loving this army man. Been a while since I saw it on Warseer. Love the princes from various kingdoms. Are you going to use the Sister of Silence for anything in particular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 @Darth Alec thanks man:) I don't play so I didn't really think about it, but I guess they would be chaos warriors or chosen. The 5 sisters will form a unit of six with Sigvald. The Sigvald model carries a big sword so they look good together. The black armour fits in nicely with my Marauders and dark elves (more on those later). I imagine the sisters and the Marauders forming a warband of seekers, looking for Thalion in the age of sigmar.

elfhead Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 (edited) got a message on Instagram from GW, they wantend to feature my elves on their site. I think that's pretty cool? Edited December 7, 2016 by elfhead 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 work took up all my time, but two weeks of Christmas holliday are finally here. I've got a lot of projects on the go, my backlog just keeps growing. But I've managed to finish some things. Here's what I'm working on. First up are the sisters of silence , converted (slightly) to fit in as Slaaneshi chosen. I've ordered the old female inquisitor to take the unit up to 6 models. after finishing the sisters I got a little sidetracked by an idea I had for Sylvaneth. I thought it would be cool to sculpt mushrooms on the faces of dryads to make them look like 'clickers' from the Last of us game. Painting dryads was also a fun break from painting NMM and dark armour. Right now I've started work on Sigvald the Magnificent. Always liked that model and I hope my NMM skills are good enough to do him justice. So far it has been fun painting him. When he's finished I already have more models lined up. Thanks to Made to order I finally will be able to create a unit of mounted daemonettes and I converted a dark elf sorcerer. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thornshield Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Oh wow, those Sisters of Silence really work as Slaaneshi Chosen! If I can get my hands on them I'll have to do some myself, thanks for the inspiration! Also, the Clicker Dryads are super creepy, well done.

swiftmus Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Those models work so well for chosen! Might have to nick that idea for myself at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
