On the boarders between the reaches of Thyria and Yska in the Realm of Life which is called Ghyran.
The new lands that are still deserted and barren of life have been found home to a coalition of Nomads.
The War of Life has taken it's toll on the Sylvaneth of the Hestianglade, these ones peacefull Sylvaneth had been overrun and set to fire by demons of different shapes and sizes, after that a desease struck them, almost wilting out the last of them.
With the wisdom of the eldest ancient (Ashborn Alderbloom) and his life magic, the last of the grove survived.
The Everqueen gave them a new mission to gather their strength and rebuilt, together with the Stormcast of the Axes, they have been send out to give life to the barren desert.
On the way they came across a big nomad gathering of Wanderers, under the guidance of the Nomad Prince Kelach they found a home in an abandoned city they have called Brimstone.
Below an old picture of my Sylvaneth of the Hestianglade. (the Expedition force)
I'll be adding new pictures and a revised paintscheme from after the Soul Wars, after the glade has been rebuilt till a certain degree.

Finished 1 of my bloodbowl wood elves, just need the transfer and then varnish it.
Luckily the bases are done so that makes it easy to really finish them.
On to the next one.

I went for a meadow kind of feel to it, high grass, a few flowers and some white stripes.
Now to see paint the models themselves.

Guess I might chime in (on a very irregular bases)
Currently I am working on 20 Corsairs but finished Ivy Volga
She was great fun to paint and gave me the opportunity to test wet blending on the Skirt
Haha, i know the feeling, I haven't had much time to do stuff aswell, so i get what you mean with irregular posting.
But the main thing is that, these montly post are to keep you going and motivated, it doesn't matter if it's just a base or a whole army.
Painting, creating, or just building your hobby stuff is all progression against the Grey and Pile of Potential.
But this model looks amazing, i love the were-vampires, but not really the east europian influance.
So i have created a jungle theme vampire army, i bought panther models to replace the wolves, and looking into the different options for the knights.
So hopefully i can start posting those after i finished my bloodbowl team

I used to really struggle painting yellow, now it's one of the easiest colours for me:
The only thing you need to do is pre-shade in browns and whites. Basically, just establish your shadows in brown, highlights in (off-)white. Such as with a brown wash over white. Then, just a thin coat of yellow paint should do it, and be appropriately shaded, too.
Trying to paint yellow over black is hard, because yellow is so transparent. Plus, black primer tends to not actually be black, but rather a very dark blue. This interacts with the transparent yellow and results in green-tinted shadows. That's the reasoning behind using dark brown as a shadow colour for yellow: It is a warm pigment that helps achieve a good effect when painted over in yellow and does not result in any weird colour changes.
Yeah, I've been painting yellow my whole warhammer carrier, XD
I tried so many different ways of painting yellow, even over black undercoat.
Tried the bone colour layer style then give it a yellow wash.
But with the new contrast paints this really helps out a lot, you just have to paint the part you want yellow in a light colour, i like wraithbone(citadel)
And then you don't need that many layers.

Working on terrain again. This time, domicil shells. You might like this one, @Twisted Firaun
I am painting these buildings in the style of Moorish revival architecture:
The flat roofs arched doors and windows seem like a good fit. Plus, it's a little more eye catching than simple grey or white.
Overall, the domicile shells are fun kits, but the scaffolding is kind of a chore to paint. I hope we get the completed buildings from the CoS battletome, too.
That looks amazing, I think you really took the feel of the real building and painted the terrain like it.
Great work!!I also like the differtent feel to it then other terrains.
Good work keep it up!-

Hello folks and welcome to the Painting Contract for August 2023.
If you don't know the rules they are:
Each month you post an amount of models that you agree to try to paint/build/convert/sculpt. This can be terrain or models for Age Of Sigmar, Warcry, Blood Bowl, Blitz Bowl, Dungeon Bowl, Warhammer Underworlds, Warhammer Quest, Gorechosen, or HeroQuest
On the 28th of the month the contract closes and you can then post your progress images so that they can be critiqued, shared and boasted about. It is a great way to get involved in the community and to get inspiration.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share their progress!
Enjoy!

Got a couple of Saurus warriors and skinks done. Hoping that the gold + jade armor help unify the different units.
These are amazing and i think everything fits together perfectly.

Last week I painted a full dwarven bloodbowl team for a friend.
The models where nice 3d printed more cartoon style then the sleek GW models.
It was also really interesting because I used the slapchop method and my friends paints.
I use Citadel paints most of the time and he has some citadel paints but mostly armypainter contrast paints.
I tried using both and found out that the citadel contrast has more pigments(colours) in them, which makes it more vibrant and it then takes one coath of paint.
But thats my opinion, i do think its good to try and use different paints to test out and see what you like.
Same is with painting methods, i have used slapchop method before but not a complet model and then only use contrast over it.
I am more of a layer paint guy.

This Month I plan to finish my Slaanesh Warstomper conversion (based on Kragnos). Once he's done I'll get to work on my spell casters (Curseling, Magister (disc and on foot), Shardspeaker, chaos sorcerer and Tzaangor Shaman).
That looks amazing, can't wait to see how you paint this up!!

Sorry for the crappy picture, i was in a hurry to take it yesterday.
I worked on the bases.
- Lighter Treelord base, almost finished, painted up and started to add tufts, just need to paint te rim and earth sides.
- Durthu base needs more painting and adding tufts, excited about this one where it will end.
After this they will be done and i'll take some beautyshots.
2 month progress coming to a finish, supper excited, because these bases will pave the way for how more bases will look in the future.
Next project might be the Queen of Sylvaneth, my wife has wanted me to finish that project for a while haha.

I started this a while ago and my wife keeps mentioning that I need to finish it. But ofcourse we all have different extra projects. Haha
Hope you like my take on the Everqueen, still WIP.
Working on the beetle right now and wanting to finish this one first before takeling the Everqueen again. Luckily I already finished parts of her. Just need to do the legs and weapon and healing pot.
