My Golden Daemon project is sort of on the back burner at the moment as it was killing all my motivation to paint, so to fix that I switched my attention to my Dark elf's who were in dire need of painting. A couple of nights ago I finest these guys.
Yep a 40 man unit of warriors with spears. Now I started paining these guys about a couple of months ago average about 5 men every two weeks, I think it is fair to say im a slow painter and hate painting a lot of the same thing but I slogged on with it. At the start of the week i saw i only had 10 guys left to paint and with the light at the end of the tunnel showing I bit the bullet and batched the last 10.
This photo really shows how great the new hordes rule looks, in fact its one of my favourite things about the new rules for WFB (and one of the only things i know about the new rules), but in the end it was well worth it and I cant wait to play with them.
My favourite thing about this unit apart from the size is the free hand on the banner, its a tough skill and I always like to push my self even if it doesn't turn out so well. As far as I can remember one of the runes stands for vengeance and the other for murder but I will have to find the site again were I got them from.
Well that's it for now, my plans are to try and upload something every Wednesday now and make it a weekly thing so next week I will be putting up my cross bows and bolt thrower.
And last but no least I would like to thank Pirate Viking Painting for the advice he gave me on blogging and how to keep motivated, thanks man it worked :).
Till next time
