As I am using more and more Wild Riders I acknowledge that I need something to shield my own frenzy. So I decided to field a Beast Pack.
As I dislike the current models I decided to use Gryph-Hounds for medium size menacing miniatures and some random Wood Elf characters on foot - I plan to replace these later when I find better models.
I like the Gryph-Hounds though, I feel that they fit quite nicely with the Wood Elves somehow, despite the models being so different in styles.
I have already painted 2 units of 6 Glade Riders but I want to be able to field two of 8, so here are another 4 to complete the units!
And here is the last unit of 7 Wild Riders. This one was printed and painted in a rush for the Tournament I played back in May. I painted all of them in 4 days and I think they turned out great!
As it is bound to happen, during the Tournament the Standard snapped so after coming home I pinned it and glued it again - as good as new! But I fear it will snap again.
After having completed all the infantry I realized that usually I field 7 Wild Riders and I only painted 5, so here are another two.
There is an important difference with these two - they are original from GW and no STL copies. They are not brittle, as they are metal. Only the horse is a copy, and as you can imagine it was already broken at least once!
The second unit of Deepwood Scouts that were painted in a similar way as the others.
Despite the fact that these miniatures are taller and the results are crisper, I prefer the older models as they have much more charisma than these ones. At least the models are very different so I can easily spot them on the table.
After having painted all the cavalry and most of the infantry, it was the turn of the Scouts.
I typically field two units of 8 Deepwood Scouts but they can be used as well as Waywatchers.
These miniatures are lovely and they were a joy to paint - so full of details and small interesting things. Not like the modern ones that are a bit baroque but actually carrying useful stuff. The old ones always have stuff like a bag, a pair of knives, some rope, etc.
The only problem is that these come out of a not so clean STL image and as a result they came out a tad tiny (in some cases a whole head smaller than other more modern figures). And also quite fragile - you can easily spot a few repairs here and there.
Here I show the second block of Guards, not much to say for these guys as they were painted exactly in the same way at the same time as the others.
