Oh man! Not to sound repetitive but awesome Eldarain. I totally wish that’s what Teclis/Celenono looked like. Wish it looked more like the poster pose from the kit. And Didn’t the old Elf models come with two figures? One on the beast/dragon/etc and one separate? Or am I imagining that? But Bravo dude!

I've got quite a few of the GSW rollers also. Really love them... look great and so easy. Do you find green stuff works the best? I'm in process of mucking about with different materials (Greenstuff, Milliput, mix of both, SuperSculpty, Polymer Clay) to find a good but reasonably priced option. Thanks for the website! They have some cool looking stuff! Wondering if there's anything like that in the US that'd be easier to get.... And now you've got my brain hamster working... lol... I'm going to do one squad of Dawnriders as designed, but... maybe.. do a mash up like you did. Although them Lions are like $99 on ebay.,, so prob not them. BUT. there's the old Space Wolves Fenrisian Wolf Pack?? Not sure if that'll make them no much like Ye Ol' Wood Elves, but they look like they are close to the same base size. I look at the Wood Elf ( I think) Sister of the Thorn and Wild Riders, and wanna make my Realm Lords be that dynamic/cool... Or maybe I'm jumping the gun a bit and should wait to see what else is released for us Realm Lords. Thanks for the info!

Dude! This. is. AWESOME! I'm gonna pepper you with questions now... and I might be stealing the idea.... I love the use of the Temple roller from GSW (and love them in general!). It's tempted me several times now. Did you make the roller texture with Green Stuff? What else did you use on the bases to break the texture up? And where is the broken statue face from? I'm very new to the AoS stuff, so where did the lions come from (both the steeds and the shoulders?!)? How challenging was this conversion/kitbash? I've not yet made any Dawnriders, but I've heard that they are a pain in the a$$. But seriously, this is epic. Congrats!🤘

Well, as I got the ltd starting box during this pandemic, I've not played any games yet. So I can't speak to it's ease/playability/etc. But I too have kept my eyes open for the Elves... or Aelves as it were. Model wise, the Deepkin are very cool, but didn't call out to me. These Lumineth caught my eye, so I dived in. I'm new to the GW style of models, so getting used to the whole sprue/mould lines thing was a challenge for me. In particular, these models are real sweet, and yes, they are multi part. The Light of E is Amazing (and challenging, I'm doing him in four sub assemblies) , the High Warden and Wardens are cool and a little challenging, but not as much customization options. I've not built a Dawnrider (calvary) yet, but rumors are that they are the most challenging. Looking ahead, the other models look great as well. I am looking forwards to the Archers. And the Stonemage. And I do hope that the other sects of Aelves (shadow, wild, wind, zenith, etc) get included soon. But more models will be released in September, so all will be revealed. I think many here have said that if you see a set of models that call out to you, start there...

Hey all! I swear somewhere in this thread, there was a post that shared some fantastic looking scenery with huge plinths, cool columns, bridges.... the company was from England. LOL, I know, very specific. But the feel was very AoS... I'm trying to compile lists of scenic places and can't find them. IF anyone remembers, can you re-post? EDIT: found it. must have missed it.... sorry. https://darkfantasticmills.worldsecuresystems.com/shop.html#shop-page

I've been really loving the GSW colordshifts! (And some from TurboDork!) Which one did you use on the blades?

Mind blown.... Burning gold over Retributor?! That sounds delicious... Might have to do a test with that combo. While I'm working on the kitbash, I'm fiddling around with LoE and using LED's on him, as well as trying to think of a good color scheme for my other squad of Wardens. I want do the Illiatha/Clones, but now I'm tempted by that idea. lol. And Cel Azure over Leadbelcher could be really cool. I'm super curious so share a pic when you get a chance!

Kick ass on those exams! After looking at the Alt paint scheme for Ymetrica, I really liked it, but wanted to experiment with making these Realm Lords more... I dunno.. Magical, realmy, you know, Illuminated Lumineth Lords. The color shift paints recommend using a black undercoat (which I did with the Cathallar Kitbash posted above), but for the Wardens, I actually used a med dark blue for the undercoat (AP Deep Blue) to keep it more blue, and just make their robes shimmer.

On the Wardens spears, I've tried some Celestial, TurboDork Blue Steel and Scale75 Cobalt Alchemy, along with the usual metallics. They both added a really nice but very subtle sheen. So be aware of two things: these paints really like a black (glossy) undercoat, and a bigger area ,to really shine. But I'd love to see what they look like when you're done! And the Mistweaver!! Man, that was the other model I was looking at. Lol... So, I should have just gone that direction, since after working on the Tidecaster, I've ordered some scenic elements to give her that "levitation/flying" feel..... and here they are. (Do I share to much?!?! sorry... ). They are all from Reaper Mini's, and are plastic, so hopefully easy to mod, paint, glue. These are all rough ideas on placements. Four "options". A) small swirl of wind/fire. B) Medium swirling spell. C) Tall swirling wind/fire. D) Epic swirling. Give me your vote/thoughts/ideas!! I'm hoping to add in things to the maelstrom: bodies, heads, crystals.... or any suggestions?! My end goal is to use this model for my interpretation of a Zenith Mage (that I fudged together using the Anvil, kinda. Hopefully something will come out as we explore more of the Tyrion side of the LRL's!). But for now, to use it as a Cathaller stand in. I would love to get close to the epic feel of the Stonemage... Thoughts, comments, ideas welcome!!

Who-hoo more posts!! And more photos... Previous posts have mentioned some sort of Kitbash for the Scinari Cathallar. The model is interesting, but doesn't call out to me. Which is why I've jumped head first into kit bashing (with no life jacket apparently). I wish I could find the photos of the inspiration, but it's based with the Tidecaster model, then eventually I'll add the head of the Sorceress ( I really like the moment/action of her hair and face), and finally the staff of Nomad Prince. FYI, I've used GSW color shift colors Darth Blue for the inside, and Celestial Azure for the outside. They are AWESOME! I'll bother yall more with photos once the other models come in....

Finally finished one squad of Vanari Wardens. Whew!! Still experimenting with taking photos, but these turned out pretty good. Now to take a break from them and work on my Light o' E, with some LED mods. If anyone is interested, I'll post/share my very newly total experiment process for that.

Uhhhhh. uh uh.... dayum..... thats freaking awesome....

Repost/Bump.... Anyone with a built LoE out there measure his height? And the Dawnrider with Banner and/or Steedmaster? PS: any idea how big the Mountain Spirits or Teclis will be?

Hey all! Looking into different storage/transport solutions. Can anyone give me the dimensions, esp height, of the Light of E and the Steed Master/Steed Bennerman? Thx!

Hey all! Hive hind activate! I am curious and looking for good websites to read about AoS in regards to mostly everything/anything: painting, lore, game play, technique, etc. Where do you all go? Besides Warhammer Community of course.

Sorry for the multi posting... having to much fun I guess... IS there any precedence for a group to shift "allegiances". ie the Aelfs in the Cities {esp the Wood Aelves} say, come over and become a welcomed part of Tyrion's clan? Since Alarielle has kinda sort of forsaken the Wood Aelves? Those Shadow Warrios are awesome models and would be a cool part of Tyrion's more "military" based world. And man, I wish they were allies to the Realm Lords!!! After all, who else to show them the way of being an Aelf than them right?

Ummm. Man, I've got to reread this Battle Tome.... totally missed the story of the Zenith Mage. Maybe that's why I wanted to make a Wizard hero subconsciously. Is this story in the Tome?

Ohhhh... that's a cool model... That could also be used for my "wth is this" hero, an ALUMNIA ZENITHMAGE.... kinda using the Warscroll Designer to have fun. I can't wait to see what else come out of the Realm Lords, esp the Tyrion side of the coin. Dunno why the Warscroll Designer smushes the text, but oh well.... Alumnia Zenithmage 3.pdf

Dig the Blue/Orange combo....sort of a combo of Clones and Ymatrica..? May I request a paint list? Looking good!!

Man that looks great!! I'm hitting the High Dude right now, and it's tempting to use the Celestial Azure on the sword... I'm using it on all the blue robes so I'll post some pics when [close to] done.

THIS!!! Oh man.... so awesome. I was considering doing the Iliatha theme, and after seeing this, I'm both scared and inspired. Wet blending with Contrast paints?!?! My skills are meager yet. But, now to see if GSW and/or TurboDork makes color shift in this range. And try not to buy them.

Yeah... I shouldn't have got them, but why not!?!?! More Paint!! And now I'm looking ahead to the next squad and wondering what color shift to use with them. Lol. Looking at doing them either Zaitrec for the magic, or Iliathia, cause... clones. No airbrush. Just thinned them down, and did three coats. A slow process, but worth it. Thinking I might do a fourth to kick it up a notch.

Hey ALL!!! Got a few WIP pics of my Wardens in the Alt scheme for Ymetrica. I tested out a BUNCH of cool paints, from both TurboDork and Green Stuff World, as shown on the Color Shift Test Spoons photo. I'll mention that they both say to use Black prime/base coat for get the most out of the color shift effect. And of course I ignored that.... I finally decided that I liked the combo of Army Painter Deep Blue Base with Green Stuff World Celestial Azure. For me, this combo gives them a real cool "glow" that isn't over the top, but will show up on the table. I've used a brush, and per their instructions, watered it down and did three thin coats. Might do more.... not sure that I'll need/want to do any wash/shading, but GSW recommends highlighting with Chosen color [Celestial Azure] mixed with a bit of silver and see what happens. My plan is to do just the Dark and Light Blue robes, but considering to do the blue headpiece as well.... I tried to get several angles to show off what it looks like. Thoughts and comments welcome!

well, I'm neck deep in painting, and will post some pics when I get them close. I'm using some AwEsOmE color shift paints from Green Stuff World (mentioned earlier I think) and man... they are cool!!! BUT! I'm looking ahead to storage and transport. So a few questions: 1) What do yall use for storage/transport? I've checked out some tubs from Costco and Container Store: https://www.containerstore.com/s/artbin-double-deep-super-satchel/d?productId=11002706&q=art bin. or https://www.containerstore.com/s/craft-hobby/artbin-narrow-super-semi-satchel/1d?productId=11002725 and then putting magnetic tape on the bottom, or on the dividers to make them slide out and easy to get to. But... 2) Does anyone know how big these models will be?!?! I've only got the Spears up, and they are 2" high and hella long... Any idea about the Calvary, Light, Teclis, Mountains?!?! These last two look HUGE!?! Cheers!

Just found your Warscroll designer, and I love it!! So cool and fun!! On a wishlist of things to add.... Any way to add a character/image place? Especially if it's a hero? Maybe a check box to turn it on/off... but really, sweet sweet site! Thanks for the hard work!
