Warmaster: Complete Wood Elf Army

This is what I've been working on the past few months. A 2,500 pt Warmaster Wood Elf Army (or thereabouts). It can be divided into two 1,250 pt armies (one forest spirit/Sylvaneth and one elf/Asrai) fairly easily, so I can use it for games with my kids, where I need to supply both sides. It includes a small Wood Elf village.

I don't really want to go into how most of this was painted here ... a lot of different things were tried and there are better guides out there. Most of the heavy lifting on this project was done with Contrast paints. Aggros Dunes followed by spots of Aggrax Earthshade works surprisingly well.

I tried something a bit different, by adding some scenery, with the pictures. Now onto the pictures:

 

February 2022 Totals

 It's the shortest month of the year. I got close to getting 1 mini/stand a day this month, but in the end, I couldn't quite finish all of the Warmaster Wood Elf Tree Spirits in time (18 stands worth). So they'll need to count for next month. Now onto totals:

• 8 Wood Elf Warmaster Characters (4 mounted, 4 on foot)

February Totals: 8

Year to Date: 23

January 2022 Totals

 I don't think I'll match last years productivity, but I'm off to a good start.

I'm still working on the Wood Elf Warmaster Army, getting closer and closer to finish it. This is the first time I've painted a unit that is horsemen (not counting centaurs). It went better than I expected. I'm down to just character models and tree spirits. There's a part of me that wants to pick up another 500 pts or so, that would allow me to field a 3000 pt army.

The boy got a Star Wars Legion starter box, Clone War edition. I assembled all of the miniatures, and will probably move it to the front of the painting queue. He wants to play it, so I want to play it. :-)

Totals:

• 3 Warmaster Warhawk Riders
• 6 Warmaster Wild/Stag Riders
• 6 Warmaster Glade Riders

January Totals: 15

2022 Totals: 15

2021 Year End Totals

No pictures this month either. I'm still working through Warmaster miniatures. I hope to have the Wood Elfs complete relatively soon.

I managed to pass the goal of over 365 miniatures (1 per day for a year).  It was mainly due to doing 10mm terrain. It painted fast and had lots of pieces. But I'll take it as a win!

At the start of covid I decided to try to assemble all of the miniatures I own (and I made a huge impact on that front), but now I have a bunch of unpainted miniatures that need storage. I might slow down a bit, I need to spend some time organizing. We'll see what 2022 will bring! Hopefully I can finish off some projects.

Totals:

• 8 Stands of Wardancers

December Totals: 8

2021 Totals: 380

November 2021 Totals

Still working through my Forest Dragon 10mm Wood Elf army. I was trying to finish all of the infantry in November, but wasn't quite able to do it. I didn't finish the wardancers in time. There are 7-8 elfs per stand, so even though it's only 12 stands worth it's actually about 93 elfs worth.

I need to do some cleaning before I can take pictures.

Now onto totals:

• 4 units of 3 stands of 10mm Elven Archers

November Totals: 12 miniatures

2021 Totals: 372 miniatures

October 2021 Totals

 It's tree month. I hadn't planned to do quite so many trees, but I had, over the years, purchased a "few" trees. The plan had been to build them into larger terrain bits/dioramas ... but I never really did that. So I mounted them on some fender washers (1 1/2" to 1" depending on the canopy size), and painted the bases. This is what a club I was once part of did, and it works pretty well.

I also finally got my hands on a Citadel/GW Collegiate Wizards set, so I built the "Cursed City" book necromancer and got him painted up. I set the other 3 aside to use as Frostgrave Wizards should I ever need more (or as options for future projects).

Now onto totals:

• 1 Shyish Wizard
• 73 Trees
• 24 ~1" Deciduous Trees
• 31 2"-3" Deciduous Trees
• 18 2"-4" Coniferous Trees

October Totals: 74 miniatures

2021 Totals: 360 miniatures

End of Summer Totals

I've been a bit remiss on updating the blog. In part it's do to my picture area being overrun with stuff I'm assembling. I'm still trying to assemble everything I own (which is a lot!). But it'll never get painted if it's in pieces.

So I don't have any pictures at the moment.

So on to the things that were painted over the Summer:

• 47 Cursed City Miniatures (the remaining miniatures from that set)
• 10 Zombies

• 2 Undead Cats
• 2 Gargoyles
