This artwork bother me soooo much. Here, Teclis have a smug face that gives him a imposing look and his legs and arms make for a really dinamic pose. The helmet doesnt have that cloth around the face and the moon looks thin and metalic. He looks like he is landing on the battlefield to cause havok. Aaaaand we get this wonky model.

We will have to wait and see how the sprue works, how easy it will be to cut it. That said if it all fail i have a bunch of Shadow Warriors/Dragon Princes/Phoenix Guard hats so in case it gets too messy i can just head swap.

No need for airbrush, they work just fine with the brush.

Chamaleon paint requires black basecoat.

Chamaleon Paints example.

Have you consider Chamaleon paints?

Sooo, do you guys have a feeling that this is it? I mean, we seen the whole line?

Right in front of him we can see something like a horse . I belive it is a horseman.

Gw Article says: "The Lumineth Realm-lords are already shaping up to be an incredible army, but so far we’ve only dipped our toe into the new range of models. Let’s shine a light on a bit more…" And Bull and Hammer bros were show. The sentence implies there are more to come.

Oh look it is me!

My plan so far: Remove all Bull aspects. Teclis head swaped for a Idoneth aspect, no bull on top of hammer bros and i wanna check if i can get a Treelord head into the big Cow "fused" with the mountain. That said: If the remaining models have a cooler visual identity and spare helmets or so, something cool can come out of it.

Yeah, you see it is tricky. I love elves and i want an elven army, but i cant help but not like most of the hats. I will have to convert and change a lot of things to my taste, so the preview tomorrow will give me an idea if the task will be doable or not.

I hope they finally finish with the Lumineth preview.

I see what you did there

Also, Eltharion look awesome and probably his look is related to other models as well.

That said, negativity aside, we got 3 more "chambers". Maybe the other ones have a look that pleases other people. For instance Idoneth. I really dislike Thralls but the Namarti are pretty cool and you can make an army out of then.

I think the Cones and the Wings are way too iconic to be ignored. The wings made something impratical a great look and a sense of agility, movement and so on. I keep comming to this image, and thinking: Gw finally have the tecnology to make a model as cool as this artwork, but they didnt, and it is a bummer for High Elves fans.

I belive it will be. If they havea prettier option, problem solved.

I also saw tbis picture and loved it, but looking carrefully the oficial photo, it seens like the hats have no "tips" , but a rather large flat top without the bull thing. Hopefully i am wrong because i also loved that picture.

I think the helmets will look a but odd without the bull part due to the tick connection to the upper part.

I was taking a second look at those helmets. I am not sure on how they would look without the bull on top. The connection point apears to be tick. May need a green stuff tip 🤣

Added Glade Guard as an option. With the right paint job and the runes on their forehead, they wiill fit nicely and shouldnt be hard to find on the bit market.

I was considering what could be used to replace the Bull head. A Stone head of some sort , not sure yet.

It was incredible misleading. The first trailler suggested "classic models made modern" not "lol bull horns for all". I expected something like the new Chaos starter set where they redone classic models with modern tecnology. Heck the High Elves never lived up to the high quality of their artwork ( the Aenerion piece with the Dragon is just amazing) and right now GW have the means to produce that level of quality. People wouldnt be so upset if their marketing was done in other ways. Idoneth was a new concept by Teclis and people accepted rather well. Same goes to Morathi. But Lumineth marketing led us to belive in a product that was not delivered, hence the backlash from some of the fans.

The top knots could certainly fit the infantry and archers if you clip the tips off. The hammer soldiers look like a simple clipping (or not gluing the bull thingy) should make for cool helmets by thenselves
