Gnovember is here again

 It appears that both september and orctober vent by with not much hobby activitiest around here. To kick my self out of painting stopur I started working on some Old School miniatures gnome sappers. It´s gnovember anyway.

These guys are small. I have to admit that I had some hard time with those tiny faces and some of the other details too. But they turned out good enough for my standards. These chaps will join their bearded brothers in my slowly growing gnome warband.

Epic eldar spirit host

 As mentioned ia an earlier posting I´m working on a small 2nd edition Epic eldar force along side with other hobby projects. Today I finished a spirit host for that army. A spirit host consists of a warlock, four bases of wraithguard and two squads of dreadnoughts with for dreads in each.

Baggage train group shot

 This is something I´ve been planning for a while but only now on my short vacation got around doing. That is digging out all my high elf baggage train models for a group shot and posting it here. To be honest finding everyone was a bit of a challenge. I have quite a few model cases and did not remember where most of the elves were in. Rummaging through different foam filled bags and boxes I came around miniatures I had somewhat forgotten I had. And eventually found all the elves I was looking for.

Let´s begin with a bird eye view of everyone. Four carts or wagons, sixteen individuals, a few animals, barrels, boxes and few smaller supply items.

In the left back corner an elf weapon smith can be seen holding a new part for a bolt thrower. In front of him a is a pair of merchants leading their horse away from an unlimbered cart.

An artist is about to start a new painting depicting a wounded wardancer. Next to them two youngsters are playing with their wooden swords.

A group of camp followers is spending their time reading and listening to music.

An elf lady is getting some food from a cart while a kid is threatening a goose with his bow.

Here we can see some hay being moved while another cart is getting loaded.

The hay foraging is closely watched by the army´s quartermaster. These elves are army regulars as can be told by their blue and white clothes (my high elves wear those colors). The civilian camp followers have much less uniform clothing.

As I have an elf casualty model lurking somewhere I plan on adding him and a healer of some sort to this group. And I got a tip on a nice elf bowyer model that I intend to buy in near future. So expect to see more of this baggage train in the future.
