Empire Averland Swordsmen

So I have nearly finished the unit of Averland swordsmen but there is basing to finish off with static grass and tidying up, but these five are respectable. The standard bearer uses a basic Games Workshop swordsmen body (now old style) and I have added a standard bearer arm from the Knights set and a head and pistol arm from the militia set. The size is a little wrong since Games Workshop made them bigger but with two larger arms and a head this is slightly mor balanced. Also its a pretty simple paint job on the standard but with the repeating yellow and black of the Averland Black Fire Pass guard it works well.

Legolas Greenleaf

Well got some of the first figures in from Ebay for the LOTR strategy battle game. They are a mixed bag and I am always amazed at how badly painted and prepared most of the figures are. It is as if no one has ever seen White Dwarf or the Games Workshop website and haven't a clue. Learn how to use a brush. The most overused and innacurate statement on Ebay for Games Workshop figures is Pro Painted! Anyway this is the first example, I am going to tackle, our little pointed ear friend Legolas Greenleaf, prince of Mirkwood and son to Tharanduil. He appears to have green hair in the figure that I have got, so much work to be done to turn him into a decent figure again. I got the whole Fellowship on their presentation stand as one of my first purchases and I will go through the reasons for which models I got in a future post.

Wood Elf War Dancers

There are a number of warhammer armies that I have been collecting since Warhammer began really. Having moved house this was an opportunity to get some of them out of the attic and view them in more detail. The armies in my collection are Wood Elves High Elves Dark Elves Spotting a theme! Empire Chaos Warriors Skaven Dogs of War With significant collections of dwarves and orcs/gobbos. Plus lots of models I got just because I liked them. In terms of 40k Dark Angels (Main collection) Eldar Imperial Guard Chaos Marines I'll try and lay some out so I get more of them up, but this post is just about one unit. Wardancers I have only done half of them here, as I need to get the photography set up with a tripod for indoor work. Anyway, they follow the basic theme for my Wood Elf army, quite a bright green for most of the units with some being a bit more russet. Half my Wood Elf Wardancer Band Colour scheme is a lighter flesh, with bright green and bro...

Slannesh Warhammer Army

As mentioned before have built up quite a few Games Workshop armies over the years, and one that I have for Warhammer is the that of the Slannesh Chaos Champion Valsav of the Hrud. Yet again since it has been built up over time it has a number of old models in it as well as some of the newer ones. So for example the Chaos Lord incarnation of Vaslav is the latest Chaos Slannesh hero, but the Demon Prince alternative uses the original Keeper of Secrets. I also have some of the first Chaos Warriors from the first box set in there. Below are two figures, mostly finished although the bases need more work. A Chaos Warrior and a Marauder. The Chaos Warriors are using a basic black scheme for speed of painting whilst the Marauders unifying element is the red and white shield design. Warhammer Chaos Warrior Slannesh Chaos Marauder
