Oh yes, I'm not only shipping hte warriors of Athel Loren, but a small chunk of the terrain with me. This decision was down to the selling point of the army. I think the trees really tie the army together, plus if used in a non tournament environment trees are a necessity for a Wood Elf army to function. If you can't leave home, take a little home with you as no-one I know always said. Anyways, here's the rest of today's eye candy:
Okay, so maybe I should explain that in person the browns are not nearly as wet-inky looking as they seem. I actually used no ink on the wood at all, I just finished the project after dark which was not my aim, and the flash photography and fake lighting does that.
Anyways, I'm pretty happy with the way the army's going so far. It's far from professional level, but at a tournament it would get some painting points surely, and with a display board (if I make one) the army should be held tightly together and will be one of my crowning achievements.
June is dawning! This will be a 1 month gap between higher prices and 8th edition. In this time I am having a 7th batrep fest. I will be having a few games with various people involving 1,250 pts of Wood Elves, to also celebrate half the army's completion, and I promise those will come with pictures of 2 fully painted armies.
