Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Nice! You might want to add a small dot or two of warmer color in there to help make the other colors pop a little more. Your color transitions are really good though! Edited March 16, 2020 by Koradrel of Chrace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree they look a bit cold atm, the bases will probably feature some warmer browns and lots of different colour flowers. Furthermore I'll try for some warm yellow on the blades of the weapons etc, colour wheel tells me turquoise, pink and yellow goes together ^^ 24 minutes ago, Ian Wallsh said: Lovely! 😍 Thanks!

Primarch Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 This might give you a better idea of what I'm thinking of doing with the weapons. (Please don't mind the horrid line work on the sword) All the gloves, belts and boots will also be a warmer brown. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 That helps the model a lot! Also draws the eye more to the weapons, which has a cool effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Very nice! Also fits really well with the solar powered weapons theme they mentioned. Those look like weapons who can store sun power. 1 hour ago, Ian Wallsh said: ... Even if its only residual, will they still be affected by the presence of Chaos, especially Slaneshi magic, will they still feel 'a pull' in the presence of a Slaneshi Greater Demon.....? Id love to know what you think and how this will affect their 'Lore'.....? Just to add a little bit more to what Koradrel mentioned: We know that although those were the purest souls, there was such a lingering effect that the Lumineth almost destroyed themselves again, and had to reset their whole culture, in the so called Reinvention. That’s when they developed the four elemental spirit based sub-cultures, to which they dedicate their lives. Again similar to 40k. They are still susceptible to Slaanesh though, as he/she was able to manipulate some of the guardian mages to provide him with secrets on how to destroy some of his bonds. I personally doubt though that there will be some kind of negative effect against Chaos magic in their rules. If at all, maybe the opposite. Hysh magic is traditionally strong against Chaos and Demons. But fluff wise - their whole story and culture is based around on how to deal with Slaanesh, so there will be a lot of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, though a lot fancier, they seem to have cheek guards too. but, I may be confusing ages myself, and not know when those helmets came into popularity http://hixenbaugh.net/otherfiles/Ancient Greek Helmets.PDF the only bronze age helmets in that pdf are the boar tusk helmets. the rest are all 8th cen. BC+. the Bronze age ends (in Greece anyway) around 1200BC or so (some historians argue as early as 2000BC in Greece). specifically the ones at the bottom are from the Hellenistic period (roughly Alexander the great to roman conquest) and are the most Iron age a greek helmet can get. this website has some nice detail about Bronze age greek soldiers http://www.salimbeti.com/micenei/index.htm, and there are infact cheek plates in this period. however cheek plates are not specific to any period, used as early as the bronze age all the way up to the late renaissance. and to the layman they (usually) are most associated with ancient roman legionaries (iron age) and greek hoplites (also iron age). personally I don't associate them with any period. PS: sorry if I write too much about this topic as for the actual helmets the Lumineth use, the archers helmets have grown on me since my last post to the point i think they are my favorite Lumineth helmet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuminethMage Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Well, you must be. I know you try to hide your excitement under that fishy smell, but you must subconsciously be in loooooove with them, right Sunspear? Can’t have a more fitting name than that. Just give in to it, and welcome to the club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @Primarch Nice colors, the pink-ish armour looks nice, I can totally see that on the Lumineth. I’ve been painting some high elves too recently. The upcoming Lumineth got me excited to paint some elves again. Plus I need to clear the backlog to justify buying new models😛 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 So what might we get to see next Monday? (I refuse to believe there won't be a lowdown. They can't do that to us, right???? 😨). In the meantime, here are the rumors and snippets we have seen so far, but haven't got the full picture yet. I'm intrigued by the split horns, those don't seem to be identical with the "Yak" picture from the flag. So there seems to be at least one more monster coming, which we haven't seen at all. Do we also get a fitting mage for that, with appropriate horns on the helmet? Some people speculate that the Veiled Lady (and the brazier) are part of a larger arrangement (like Katakros). That also sounds interesting. The brazier definitely has some larger meaning. It's also on the shield of one of the Dawnriders (with the appropriate Lecai "Light" rune also shown), on Eltharion etc. Finally I wonder what they are going to do with the two hammers. I kind of doubt that there are going to be two units with different hammers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 It's awesome that they've shown as much as they have. But the problem is everything they've shown just leads to more questions. I'm actually kinda questioning how effective this is for them. Those of us who have bought in are in. Keeping up the slow trickle of info is just torture at this point.

LuminethMage Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Yes, it's getting tedious, even for someone like me, who has been waiting for years to see the new High Elves. It shouldn't feel that long in comparison, but I'm now also running low on my symbolical Aetherquarzt supply. Actually that's why I posted the above to keep me and others a bit busy : ) I thought they might throw us (and others) a few bones after Adepticon got cancelled. But sadly they didn't (not a complaint, I'm happy they're going to do the virtual sessions, and they likely have had their hands full with operationalizing these contingency plans.) I'm mostly worried now what happens in case they don't actually have that much on their hands to reveal in the end. I think after this months long drawn out process, if there is not at least one really awesome monster model coming, like the phoenix/dragon, they might have achieved the opposite, that a lot of people will be turned off.

Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) I think the best thing we can hope for at this point is that they have at least one more really amazing model to show us. If they led with Teclis, and that was the biggest center piece model, all of this build up is going to feel wasted. Eh, don't mind me. Tired and grumpy and want my new toy soldiers!

Tiberius501 Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 This is much appreciated. I assume they’ll talk about the archers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuminethMage Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 That's possible. If they Veiled Lady we have seen is not part of a larger piece it might be her. Or a unit connected to one of the two hammers they have shown us so far. As a Hammer unit is also part of the mountain faction, it's not that unlikely. So far, they've almost always built up upon things they have hinted at before (via a rumour or mentioning in previous lowdowns (archers and stonemages both had a rumour engine piece and a mentioning in the Warden article)). But I'm fine with anything. After that it's only 4 more days until we get this. If we are super lucky, we might even get pre-order countdown right after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaliontil Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Didn't see it posted before. I guess that we are getting the pre-orders right after "Non-Adepticon" reveals ^^ 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I knew is that it was Grecian, so I automatically assigned it to Bronze Age. Still, point still stands that the helmets reminded me of Ancient Greek examples, which I think is fairly apt. and dang I love the hammerhal herald. I wish they advertised it more in the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So an interesting factoid for everyone. Historically, two weeks after an article in the Hammerhal Herald, the army is released! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaladreon Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This would make me happy beyond belief. If the book is released by April 4th I can use it in a local tournament, which would be icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koradrel of Chrace Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Not that I want to dash your hopes, but I'm not entirely sure the whole range will be released all at once. Both OBR and Sisters armies did full releases, and it took several months to get the full release out. Which honestly is best for my wallet! In a side thought, did anyone catch the part on the Herald poster where it specified the Teclian Nations? That seems fairly deliberate to me, and makes me wonder what they have in store for Tyrion.

LuminethMage Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I saw that, and thought more along the lines of the 4 sub-cultures being fully fledged nations, which of course would mean we’ll get special units, and at least one hero and spirit beast for each. 😬 Not that I have any overblown expectations or anything like that.... . I still hink Tyrion will be part of this release, but we’ll see. Today we are officially just 7 days away from the reveal. Finally can catch a glimpse of the light at he end of the tunnel. 💫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
