Double Misfire Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Wow, wasn't sure how the new colour scheme would work after reading you last post, but I'm impressed - it looks really original and striking. Looking forward to seeing the rider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 so carrying on the crazy theme, I think it works. Usually I do black rimmed bases but after looking at the Age of Sigmar app some of the units have grey, I'm trying this out with some Tajima tufts.

Ded dice Posted October 22, 2016 Author Share Posted October 22, 2016 So first 10 done and magnetised, this is taking a while lol! Let's hope it looks good as an army when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 I am still ploughing away, I will have more pics soon. Played a few games, might need to put some range in for the more competitive games. I think judicators will look good with the colour scheme.

Double Misfire Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Not sure how I missed the last couple of updates here! Looking good, though the base rims are a little harsh imo, had you considered a darker colour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What colour would you suggest? I do quite like the starkness of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Finished the Mage now too, the colours feel so weird. But I feel it works. Onto the next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Great mage as per! I copy the studio and use Steel Legion drab for my base rims, it's a nice neutral brown that matches most boards and isn't bright enough to take the focus away from the mini. If you wanted something a little more striking you could try Rhinox Hide which is a very dark brown, or Eshin Grey. Have a look at other people's bases online and rip off what you like!

Ded dice Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 so I recently attended Clash of swords in Cardiff, managed to win best fancy dress. Got a voucher to spend at firestorm games, so I got some judicators to flesh out some more battleline units. Horrible to assemble, fun to paint though. And quite good I hear in the game. Can't wait to try them out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dangermouse425 Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice unique scheme, love the use of Tajima tufts too. They're my go-to for taking basing up a notch or two beyond cork and/or sand. I reckon black base rims would really help the whole look of the model. The basing colours are quite cold, so the stark contrast of the black rim would work really well, imho. Lastly, the green dragon looks fantastic. It's a nice bold and bright colour which will help it stand out as a centre-piece model. Looking forward to seeing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 Looking grand, the Judicator works far too well in a matching paint scheme, and yes they are quite terrifying tasty in game. Do you have plans for any more Stormcast/not Eldritch Council stuff for the force? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 Dangermouse245- thank you for your kind words, first time I've used tajima tufts and I think they are great! I did want to stay away from black rims, but when the army is complete I could take another look at it. Doublemisfire- my list is evolving all the time, I had originally wanted to stay pure, but I'm having way to much fun painting other things, so who knows. Stormcast are such lovely models to paint with big areas and sharp lines, I'm hoping to keep the main bulk of the army Eldritch but who knows.

Ded dice Posted November 24, 2016 Author Share Posted November 24, 2016 here is a sneak peak at my next large creature, it's going to replace my Mage on dragon I think, doesn't really fill a role in the list. Hopefully get it done over the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Frost Phoenix done and going in the list I think. It's a cool model foremost, and with his witness to destiny he can stand up a bit more to all those mortal wounds floating around. He is supposed to be mounted but my model was already assembled unmounted, so rather than rip it all out, I had him pose on a rock instead.

Barimbino Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Love this army scheme. Those sword-master swords are amazing. I think the model looks really cool not being posed on the phoenix. Looks like the phoenix is protecting him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double Misfire Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Wow, I think that colour scheme and camera angle are the first time I've ever liked that bloody awful phoenix model, well done! The darker unusual colours make it look more arcane and less cartoony, especially the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aelven Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Awesome army so far. I too am thinking of putting together a high elf army, biggest challenge for me it choosing batteline. I was thinking of making a Phoenix Temple army then I would include either Glade Guard, Dark Seers or Judicators as they all provide that much needed range. ...On the other hand some Fyreslayers would be awesome if I stick to a fire theme. i.e x2 Flame Phoenix, x2 Phoenix Temple and x2 vulkite bezerkers and maybe a leader for them too. Your post has given me the confidence that regardless of my choices if you pull off a good scheme and make it consistent then adding any non high elves will work. Keep up the good work!

Ded dice Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 Aelven- you are very kind! I'm glad that you have found inspiration, Phoenix temple army with fyre slayers sounds cool! You will have to let me know if you get started on that. Keeping the army cohesive is a big thing for me. Having some kind of range in the army is important I think too. Being able to reach out and hurt units when sometimes the first turn is forced upon you is handy. Only in matched play obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ded dice Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 more work on the judicators, I've quite enjoyed doing the prime, with his extra bits of detail. Went for an almost oriental look on the face mask. also fluff on the army soon to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrocks Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 good stuff. think the elf swordsmen work particularly well. And SC always look better 'monochrome' like this to me (i.e. without the overdone pauldrons etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just came across your thread, and I really like how they're coming along. I have to admit i it I wasn't too convinced with the colour scheme when I first saw the WIP shots, but you've executed the scheme well and now I think it really suits the models. It's great to see something different on high elves other than lots of silver! i look forward to seeing more of your work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
