So I have undercoated:
-8 Glade Riders
-20 Glade Guard
-11 Dryads
-4 Wardancers*
-6 Waywatchers/ 5 and one "lord" as a stand in hero for now
I have painted fully:
-3 Dryads
-1 Wardancer
-1 Glade Guard
For now, here is my first Dryad:



The others aren't particularly different, I may dabble in changing the colour scheme, or I'll save that for batallion 2. The theme is young wood- still brown, not yet grey'd. Other than that it's pretty basic, Dryads I reckon I will finish by tommorow as they only take 30 mins each thereabouts.
Mini tutorial:
-Base the whole model, base, base edges and Dryad, in Scorched Brown
-Drybrush Bestial brown over the base dirt and base edges
-Highlight the dryad with Dark Flesh
-Highlight the dryad with Bestial Brown
-Drybrush the whole model in Desert Yellow, picking out details on the dryad
-Highlight dirt and dryad with Desert Yellow mixed 50-50 with Bleached Bone, then increase the ratio of Bone as the need suits, getting thinner each layer.
-Eyes Mechrite Red, Blood Red
-Leaves Knarloc Green, Camo Green, Desert Yellow
-Flock with my special mixture (rail scenics, I forget the actual company name, but it's bright green and dark green mixed in a tub)
*Wardancers: I forgot to say in my rant, that the batallion came with waywatchers and Wardancers. The waywatchers were fine, ecxept that I didn't plan on having a champion, but whatever. The wardancers... he'd bought 2 packs of the command, so I basically HAVE to have 2 units of Dancers to make this worthwhile. Prick. (I blame me as much as him for not looking closer)
