    The first delivery of models arrived and everything is now built and some of it primed. 32 Dryads, 3 Kurnoth Hunters, 1 Branchwych and 1 Treeman Ancient.
     The dryads was fairly easy to assemble and the last 4 went from sprue to base in 23 minutes. I timed it. The Treeman was a lot of fun to build and it was nice to just build it according to the instructions. The biggest hassle have been the Kurnoths. Magnetizing options for scythes and bows meant a lot of drilling and a lot of magnets. If anyone is thinking about it pay extra attention to the second hunter as he shares his upper arm between the two weapon options where as the other two have different arm sets entirely. So all magnets goes in the shoulder joint except one where it has to be at the elbow. Live and learn ey?
    Oh, and check the polarity before you glue people! Always!
    Pictures! In the end you will see two test color schemes that I did, the goal is something that looks like GoT Wierwood Sylvaneth. And to a decent gaming standard, quick and efficient, they have to be ready the last of september! C&C are always welcome.

    First  batch of models have arrived and it's a bit of an easy start. One box of dryads and one of Kurnoth hunters. Started assembling the dryads last night and got one unit completed. It's quite a change to put these together from my own Stormcast that I've been working on before this project! From big chunky armoured dudes to thin, spiky, tree bits.
     
    So imagine 6 more of these units in slightly different executions and that's all the dryads. I'm holding of on making the Kurnoths for while so if someone has any tips on magnetizing those bad boys I'll gladly listen! The goal is to be able to switch between scythes and bows, I haven't looked at the sprues yet but I hope it will be a nice, easy way to get some magnets between the hands and wrists.
    That's all for now!

    Update on terrain

    By Snoe,

    No new models yet but the latest news is that they will arrive next teusday so I have been cracking on with all the Wyldwoods for the Sylvaneth.
    Here are some WIP pictures. The first step was to glue down a couple of bits of bark and tiny cork gravel to the forest bases. Then a layer of grey hobby paint and a drybrush of lighte gray. i wonder if my friend will ever field all 13 woods in one game....

    A sticky beginning.

    By Snoe,

    A friend of mine have been thinking about jumping back into the hobby for a while and after a nice three-way battle last weekend he was more ready then ever!
    The problem was he had no wish to build or paint the stuff himself but when I offered him my humble services he accepted and took the plunge. After much discussion and analyzing he decided he wanted to play Sylvaneth over Flesh Eater Courts. The initial order was for one Start Collecting box, one box of Kurnoth Hunters and the battletome. A nice comfortable force to begin with.
    Now the post from England to Sweden is the quickest so what to do while I wait? Being the MathHammer that he is my friend quickly realized that he was going to need some Wyldwood. A lot of Wyldwoods. Matched play scenarios ends after 5 turns usually, he would be allowed to place one wood after deployment and potentially summon one each round with the Treeman Ancient. Wyldwoods is as we all know 1-3 citadel woods. Max that and you get 3+3*5 = 18 woods! At the price GW takes that a lot of money so, being the friendly painter commission painter that I am, I offered an alternative.
    I had reacently acquired a template for the Citadel Woods footprint, and with a bit of scavenging in my father-in-laws workshop I began my production!
     
    I probably won't do 18 of them but 10-12 will be no problem at all.
