Mariano´s Wood Elves - Archers (196 pts)

 RANK & FILE III

If I have my eye on something,
I won't miss it (just one eye needed)

Hi!!

Time goes fasts when you paint everynight (or, at least, when you try to do it).

Every Wood Elves army need archers and I hada lack of them before the start of the OWAC, just a single 10 elves archers  was painted at that moment so one of the main purpouse of my planning was to add another three units of them. The first 10 were painted on first month and now I have finished 14 more of them, two 10 archers unit less both command group.


7 Lord´s bowmen (12)  Light armour (2)                                                                                                               Total: 98 

7 Lord´s bowmen (12) Light armour (2)                                                                                                                Total: 98 

196 on the month.

532 for the total.


I have continued adding color variations on the army scheme, in order to keep them as an irregular army tryning not to lose the army coherence. Hopefully all them will works fine, but not sure right now.

As archers have not too many metallics elements I play a little bit on the helmets nmm work;   I had a really fun time playing with colors on the nmm. Well, better if I show you how was the month...






So this has been my month work, hope you like it. Anyway, any advice or critic on the army, but specially on the color variation, will be welcomed.

What's next? 3 months to finish and a 17 warrior kinbands and 4 command groups waitting for me. My original plan was to have 5 warrior kinbands already painted and paint the rest of the list in the following two months, leaving 1 month to paint whatever I want. But being realistic, not sure if I can paint all warrior kinbands on a single month so I'm going to use the rest of March to play with a couple of them and try to achieved something different to the rest of the army.

Keep painting!!!

  6. I think you've nailed it with the irregular army look - definitely the right mix of individualistic colours on the clothing, with the more standard issue equipment like leather armour and the bows tying them together as a unit. Beautifully painted as always - love the detail on the eyepatches!

  7. Great work! The colour pallet is great - those colours are really intense and fitting for Wood Elves.
