Cheers guys!

I've slowly but surely been making progress. Started on the Hag and finished the flesh on 7 more witch/warlock aelves. I also picked up some Irondrakes for fun and really like how they look with a simple headswap.

The Cauldron of Blood chassis also has most of the gold done and I need to go back and tidy up the frames. It just needs the green (and the gold parts ontop of the green) painted before I can paint and add the wheels, put it on a base and make a start on the stairs. The plan is to get the Hag, 10 witch aelves and Cauldron done before Morathi and the battletome are out. Lots to paint!

The flesh is Steel Legion Drab, Agrax, Steel Legion Drab again then highlight up to Baneblade Brown.

The comment are very much appreciated! Did a bit more converting after considering some Kairic Acolytes and the spare helmeted heads I have from my Warlocks -

May as well go for equal opportunity murdering, so I'll be using these guys as Warlock Aelves and mixing them in with the Witch Aelves. Gotta get buff to not be sacrifice fodder.

I also managed to get some paint on the first one and ended up finishing him tonight, so here's a group shot of the finished ones so far (in the actual lightbox) -

Cheers for the kind comments all! Made some more progress- base aside the third witch aelf is done, and I finished one of the aelf Vanguard-Palladors.

I just realised that you used basically the same colour scheme for the goblins and the elves. I always try to do radically different colour schemes for different armies for variety, I'm curious: Why did you choose to use the exact same colours for the two armies?

Well, they won't be on the board at the same time for me, so I'm not too worried about the similarities. The green goblin flesh is Sybarite Green, whereas the Aelves use Warpstone glow, a much warmer green. The goblins aren't wearing any green, nor do they have any gold so it feels different enough for me at least.

Initially the test witch aelf was indeed red, but I didn't feel it popped enough.

Cheers for the likes guys. Got more painting done today on my day off - finished another 6 grots, a second witch aelf (thin ponytail) and nearly completed the sorceror. He just needs the top of the staff and staff gems painted. Pretty pleased how his eyes came out as I highlighted his pupils.

Figured I could start a painting plog to chronicle what I've been painting recently, mostly for Malign Portents.

From the Malign Portents painting thread these have already been seen -

I've been slowly chipping away at the mass of grots, since I need to have 20 finished by the end of month three. 12 are finished so far, with another 6 close behind -

After these all I need to paint per se are the standard bearer and musician, as well as the Harbinger. So, not too far left to go.

The other project I'll have on the go are aelf soup - mostly focused on the Daughters of Khaine with allies and general Order Aelves, such as kitbashed Executioners from Sisters of Silence, Vanguard-Palladors with Aelf riders and so on. I still need to work out what to make with the largely spare unit of Shadow Warriors I have, since I got them mostly for the helmets for the Executioners -

I have a single test model finished for the Witch Aelves which'll get a picture tomorrow when I pop down to the store, and the army will mostly be focused on browns, greens and creams for an almost wood elf aesthetic.

On the grot side of things I do have over 150 more grots available should a Moonclan battletome come out, as well as a pair of Arachnaroks and some spear chukkas that need some paint on them. All in all, a pretty hefty amount to get on with.
