Forest Dragon

Finally, here is the Army centerpiece, a Great Lord on Forest Dragon!

I think I have played literally all games of The Old World with this figure.

Because I was painting it for a Tournament I gave it a quick green basecoat with airbrush, followed by a few highlights and some shade with blue. I did not do a good job at the shadow and it messed up the basecoats, wich I needed to redo. I was very specific about having the Dragon in green and not other colour as I wanted it to blend in with the rest of the Army. In addition, I also gave some freehand on the wings with patterns that match those on the standards and clothing of the Glade Riders. I was unsure about it but I think it turned out great!

Great Stag

I have been using a Great Stag for quite some time in my games and it was a proxy until relatively recently.

I bought a copy of the Lord on Great Stag from Holo Miniatures. This is printed in highly durable resin and so far has withstand a few minor bumps without issues. I might buy another one to use it as BSB.

Beast Pack (I)

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.

Glade Riders (III)

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!

Wild Riders (III)

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.

Wild Riders (II)

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!

Deepwood Scouts (II)

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.
