    Orion - 1

    Orion - WIP #1 It's been some time since my last post. Currently, I am visiting the US and hence haven't been able to make any progress on the 'Woods of Warhammer'. At least buying Warhammer is cheaper here. I'll be sure to get some on the way home. Before I left I dug up an old 'Orion, King of the Woods' model. It took some time to take the paint off it but I am glad that I did. With this model I'm aiming towards a fading/dying feel. As Orion is born in spring and dies in winter I wanted to portray the transition between seasons, specifically summer and autumn. Here you can see the first few workings on his body. The other parts are to be completed when I get back to Australia. Check out my blog: http://woodsofwarhammer.blogspot.com.au/
  2. Wild Riders - WIP #1 "Only the bravest or most foolhardy individuals remain abroad when the horns of the Wild Riders are heard upon the breeze, for their otherworldly tones invoke the fear of the prey in all who hear them... Those unlucky enough to be caught in their path are ridden down without mercy, their deaths a sacrifice to the timeless splendour of the King of the Woods." Whilst working on my Glade Riders I have also been making progress on a unit of Wild Riders. I have always seen the Wild Riders as the 'heart' of the Wood Elves. They resemble the great hunt and portray the speed, and furiousity, in which the army strikes. Instead of using the newer 2014 casts I'm using the old 5th edition models, and, boy, are they great. The casts of the riders are what I envision a wild rider to look like. They are raw, untamed characters, all shouting and screaming. The horses also appear more 'mainly' compared to the newer stags; which I'm going to reserve for any sisters of twilight I build. Check out my blog: woodsofwarhammer.blogspot.com
  3. GLADE RIDERS - WIP #2 So I've made some progress on the glade riders - currently two of the eight are finished and they are giving me inspiration to finish off the rest. I've been working on the colour scheme working up the reds of the cloth to an orange/yellow: - Base = Mephiston Red - Shade = Carroburg Crimson - Layer = Mephiston Red - Layer 2 = Blood Red - Layer 3 = 50% Blood Red/50% Wild Rider Red - Layer 4 = Wild Rider Red - Highlights = 50% Wild Rider Red/50% Sunburst Yellow - Glaze = Lamenters Yellow I find the final glaze just smooths out the contrast and really brightens up the highlights. It's a really nice technique I use for a lot of models I paint. The yellow is my favourite of the glazes, it even goes really well on a green. Tattoo's have been added to the horses. I'm not great on free-handing anything but this will come with time. The photos don't really do these guys justice. I'll try to take some better pictures when the lighting in the study is better. Check out my blog: https://woodsofwarhammer.blogspot.com Cheers!
  4. Glade Riders - WIP Today I started progress on my wanderer's... I decided to start with some glade riders. The models are beautiful, although the lack of poses on the horses is slightly annoying. The riders will be coming up next and I can't wait to really get stuck into the details. Scheme: First of all, I'm going to paint a red/orange autumnal scheme. I'm not much of a 'traditional' army painter and like to paint colours which I feel make the models 'pop'. Horses: The horses are going to be dark in colour: varying textures of brown or black. Bases: I've got to say though the 35mm x 60mm bases are aesthetic as! Can't wait to base these guys. I'm thinking forest themed with some fading green grass/flock/moss for contrast. More pictures to come, going to add some tattoo's to the models. High resolution photos will also start appearing soon (especially once finished with more detail). P.s. There is also an old school great stag which I can't wait to work on. I figure I'll make progress on this when I get kicking into some wild riders. Check out my blog!http://woodsofwarhammer.blogspot.com.au/
