Mariano´s Wood Elves - Leaders (267 pts)

LEADER MONTH

The five Heroes

I have to admit that heroes have really save the month. My initial plan was to have last month of the challenge for the them, a full month just for them ,so this month should have been the month of the command groups. Then, at the middle of the month, I realised that only 3 spearman (pending for the last month) were finished and the rest were miniatures in diferents painting states. So I take a big breath I and moved to the heroes, with no idea if two weeks were enough for them... but I did it!


So what have I done this month...?

1 Hero N5 (48) Two handed weapon (2) + Long bow (3) + Light armour (2)

1 Hero N5 (48) Long bow (3) + Light armour (2)

1 Hero N5 (48) Two handed weapon (2) + Heavy armour (3)

1 Hero N5 (48) Two handed weapon (2) + Heavy armour (3)

1 Hero N5 (48) Two handed weapon (2) + Heavy armour (3)

Total: 267

Total points: 955

I have tried to respect the color scheme of their own units as much as possible but couldn´t be possible in all of them, probably the fault is mine...

Lets see the heroes:

Who is him??? Probably a young Skarloc before he left Athel Lore to go around the Old World. A great leader for one of the archers unit.

This miniature arrived a couple on month ago so no pics of him in the first post. Bu as soon as I saw it, I was sure it seems a better archers leader that the selected one. So I did the change. I´m pretty happy the  painting result in this one.


Well, during the challenge this heroe has been promoted from archers leader to warrior kinbands leader, so good for him. Got some mixed feelings with this one. I think a yellow cloack and the strip of the trouser on lime green and dark green have would work better with his unit. Anyway, I saw it once it was finished and with the lack of time... White hair and the black painting on the sword was mandatory due to the specific miniature , everybody knows why, right?



The leader of the "Eternal Guard" unit. On this one I took the risk of modify a little bit the golden armour nmm used on the unit, pinting it little bit lighter to focus the view on it, as if the armour is newest, better, magical...



With the movements on the leaders position this heroe finish with no unit to command but it was ready to be painted so added him to the monthly list. Maybe I can add him a unit of falconers on the future. On this one I didn't have to follow a unit color scheme so I had more freedom to paint it...

That´s all. Hope you liked them..

PD: If I'm lucky, I expect to add an extra painting work for the last post

  10. These are lovely - you're managed to add some pastel colours to the palette while keeping them looking rich, and natural, and in keeping with the Wood Elf vibe. It gives them a real warm spring feel.
    Great job on the Elric figure - that's got to be one of the best interpretations I've seen!

  11. At the risk of repeating myself I'll commend you once more for the luminosity and lightness of touch your minis have - I'm sure it's a lot of work to achieve that effect! Beautiful.
