New unit of Boyz

 Here´s another project that was started a few years back and only finished today. Twenty one classic Ruglud´s armored orcs. I remembered having 12 of these painted when I took the bull by the horns and decided now it´s time to complete a unit of 20. When finished I set everyone up for some photos and it turned out that I ended up with 21 tin clad commandos. But that was a happy suprise. They look good in three ranks of seven orcs each.

The whole unit. As I can´t paint much free hand I used transfers for those shields.

And from a different angle.

Ryza rust and leadbelcher dry brushed on.

Musician, standard bearer and champion.

Sometimes it can take a lot of time - Dark elf war altar

 I think we´ve all been there. You start a new project and for some reason or other you just can´t get it finished. It gets overtaken by something new and more interesting. That´s just what I experienced with this dark elf war altar. Started back in january 2017 it sat in WIP stage for seven years until I finally got around putting the final touches on the model.

The model is made up of five altar guards one of which is carrying a standard and of the altar itself.

The guards in the front are a crew member from a dark elf repeating bolt thrower and

a Marauder miniatures dark elf warrior.

The guards on the back are two witch elfs and the standard bearer another 

crew member of a repeating bolt thrower. All slightly converted for their new roles.

A closer look at the banner itself and it´s bearer.

I wish I could remember what that demon idol was. It used to be part of a larger model that sawed in half to make it fit that wooden platform used to carry it around. It´s large I know but these are religious fanatics and can manage it.

Into the year 2024

 Last year was not as active for hobby activities as I had hoped for. I´ll try my best to do at least a little bit better during 2024. To start off I finished two little minis that I´ve had for a while,

First one is this elf beastmaster war boar. Brown fur with drybrushed higlights.

Black snout, legs and hooves. Bone for tusks and a metal nose ring. Pretty simple.

All six boars I have as a group.

And finally their masters,

The second miniature finished is this Mithril Miniatures M202 Ioreth the healer.

Her face and fingers was almost to small for me to paint.

She will be yet another addition to my ever growing high elf baggage train.

Not sure if just a cup of water will do much good for that fallen elf warrior.
