I love that post on Sometimes Minis! I was looking to do something similar, but you beat me to it. Would you mind telling some of the parts you used for the earlier converted heroes, or is that your closely guarded secret? I like your inclusion of the Glade Guard bitz, so sad that they took it off. It was my first Miniatures kit.
Thanks man, the cities book has got me thinking more and more about these guys, so neglected!
Main runelord conversion is only really added branchwych bits. Sylvaneth start collecting leaves sooo many good bits over.

Meeting engagement - each player deploys two units. at the start of each player's turn they can bring on an extra unit.
Prophetic?

Duuuuude, these are so good!
@sometimesminis only after @Arnied3 tagged you did I realize it was you and you liked them!
Thank you for fleshing out your concepts and inspiring me to go down this path. Hoping to get some more done on them soon if I can stop hobby hopping about!edit: your blog is awesome, I’ve tried to tag it everywhere I post.

I bought the Nurgle half of Blightwar for £25!! & some Putrid Blightkings (my favourite kit purchase by far). With the left over Blightking parts and a dirt cheap chaos knight squad purchase I managed to make myself:
The Harbinger of Decay, who has found his way to the fertile glens of Ghyran while spreading his rot in search of the Goddess Nicnevin (re-base coming soon).

Thanks both. I think my technique, distance, over-zealousness for coverage might be the main factors. I'll try some of the tips with some brands you've said.
My pal has just bought a cheap compressor and kit for this very reason, I'll have a bash on his and see how I get on but I think it's defiantly the way to go.

Looking fantastic mate. You really capture the savage druidic vibe.

@Brad Gamma Thanks! Wondering if you could chime in on a suspicion of mine, do you reckon I'm over priming / using too low a quality primer? I'm thinking the above (and other mini's) are getting detail clogged badly. I'm using generic ebay grey primer, but I think I should move onto at least Army Painter or Citadel.

@Brad Gamma By far my favorite thing seeing Gharuki Duardin updates! Stunning job as always, I don't care if it sounds gushy, the combo of bits together with your painting skill is a perfect storm.

@Ragnar Alpaca from a reddit post:
"It's a horn of some kind, but the little trigger device in his other hand suggests it could double up as another drake gun.
Musician models count as having the same weapons as the rest of their unit anyway, but it's a nice touch"-

Domnall a' Draoidh, first of his kind and Chief among of all Runic Druid Lords makes his home in Ossian's cave where root and rock as old as Ghyran meet as equals.
Domnall is the spiritual leader of the Dál Riata (Root-King to the other races), with dark offerings he appeases the ambivalent Cailleach the Hag of Stone, with gifts of song and ale he satisfies Nicnevin the Everqueen of Elphame.

Another returning gamer here. Can anyone suggest any reading about the different realms themselves? I know the new rulebook is set to go into a bit of depth (with maps!) but I was hoping to get my teeth into something beforehand, the wikis all seem to be a bit light on fluff.
If it's fluff you're after then defiantly pick up the Core Book, it's got so much good content.
You could check out the "Travelling Through the Realms" series from miniwargaming on youtube. -
Amazing, cheers.
When it comes to yours though I think dripping with classic cool > WYSIWYG.

Would you guys leave the picks as is and add shields to the models or would you feel you needed to replace the pick heads?

What's a flame cannon? Is it a compendium unit? I think that's not a pitched battle legal one...
I didn’t know this rule until after I got myself I big until it miners and pony cart. No regrets though, slapping on bit drill bits was fun.

Loving everything, especially the doomseeker. The blue is very elaborate and works great with such a good blonde.

Tried my hand at putting some more spares to use, the Runic Druid Lord's body is from a humble warrior, I'm pretty pleased with him but he may be subject to change when I get my boxes of wild riders and Tree-Revenants for spares.
I'm not a massive fan of the Warden King Model (he was a pre-loved eBay purchase) but I've added some elements and will get him re-painted to see if It's made him imposing enough for General status.
Now I've got to stop chopping up bits and get painting!
