I needed 4 Objective Markers and a Baggage Train for the Tournament so I quickly came up with this and painted it in a rush!
All the miniatures and objects used here came from my box of random stuff that I have kept for the past 20+ years with leftovers from all kinds of miniatures exactly for things like this.
Two of the Objectives were painted by my kids and I used them "as is", that's the statue of the lady by my oldest and the statue of the wood elf by my youngest. I purposely chose statue so they could just dry brush but then told them to glaze green on it, and they were free to do it - I think they had fun and they loved that I use one miniature painted by them in my games. I also like to do that!
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!
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.
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.
