"Well it's been long time since I rock and rolled..."
I haven't posted anything here for two months. That doesn't mean I haven't been busy because I have. What has happened is that a huge amount of my time has been taken up with music - practice, rehearsal and performance, and I just haven't had time to post anything.
During my absence I've rebased all of my fantasy figures (about 400+ figures) and painted additions to them. I just haven't posted any of my work.
Anyway... Here are the latest additions to my Faerie Army. I started this army when I first started getting back into fantasy wargaming at the very start of 2020. But I was soon side tracked by all those fantastic Oathmark figures and ended up painting a large armies of elves, orcs, undead and other stuff, and this little army got left behind.
I've recently added some more satyrs, centaurs, and dryads. They now make up a reasonably sized little army - or at least a contingent for a larger army.These centaurs are from Eureka Miniatures. They make a nice little light cavalry unit and match the other Eureka centaurs that I already have. They fit in well with the rest of the army.
The dryads are from GW and I think these are great models. I pondered hard on whether to fork out the high GW cost for these and in the end I gave in because they are really nice figures. I watched a painting tutorial on you tube where a guy painted these figures up in a cherry blossom theme. I liked it so I copied it.
The fauns or satyrs are also from Eureka. I did a bunch of simple conversions to about a half dozen of them in 2020 and picked up some to paint up. Except for the guys with rams horns and the flautist, I can't remember which other ones I worked on. I still have some of them unpainted. I have enough painted up to make two 12 figure units of spears and one of archers.
And that's it for new stuff. I have plenty more recent things I could post but I'm not going to bother going into it. Instead here's some pics of my growing faerie/woodland army:

Goblins, an ent, dryads and a unit of ogres.
A better image of my ent. I made him about 10 years ago when I was sculpting my own figures. These are sprites or something (again form Eureka). They make up a nice little unit of light infantry. I'll use them as skirmishers with a magic missile type of attack.
My general and commanders. The moon faced ogress (Eureka), the King of the Forrest (Reaper) and a fairy from I know not where.
Big hitters: Marsh Troll, Jabberwock and Mountain Troll. All from Reaper.
And that's it. A long time coming and not all that interesting when it finally got here. I hoping I can arrange my time a bit better to keep my posts up to date.
Looking great! Love that all mix of minis!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal. This army is a mix of everything.
