Mariano Sánchez - Make the forest great again (1364 pts)

First of all, this has been my first OWAC and I´m really happy I finished it!! I did it!!!!

A proud guy with his proud army

After the OWAC, my hype on my wood elves army is really high so I´m eager to start a new one. But first, What have I learned on the OWAC?

On the negative side:

Mix family + Work + OWAC is hard, sometimes really hard

Create an all infantery army and painted them on nmm really setted myself to the limit

The painting rutine could kill your motivation

On the positive side:

I have painted 73 miniatures!!!

They look really cool all together

Wood elves army continues growing

I have painted units that I’m no sure I would painted out of the OWAC

They look really cool all together

Have I commented they look really cool all together???

  2. It's been a real joy watching more of these appear every month - and then it turns out you've painted more miniatures than I did, too! The forest light NMM effect is brilliant. Well, it's all brilliant, but that's the brilliant icing on the brilliant cake!

  8. Well done! Super quality of painting in each and every figure! Each unit looks great. The whole army is stunning! Those intense colours give them an otherworldly quality. These are probably my favourite oldhammer figures and you've done a top-notch job on them. Fantastic to see so many of them on a tabletop together.
    Can't wait to see what you choose to work on next year!

  13. Your army is just gorgeous! The quality of painting is top notch - Crisp detail, stark & cohesive colours, smooth transitions and nmn. How you managed to paint so many at this quality level is beyond me. Very impressive work. I will surely come back to these photos when paining my wood elves.
