Mariano´s Wood Elves - Waywatchers

  Rank and File month #II

Doble unit shot

Well, I think I have never finished as close to the end date as in this February but it is done.

What can I say about Waywatchers? A real archetype for Wood Elves. I fall in love when I saw them on the Army book, above all, a black and white illustration of them with a Treemen

The original...

My version...

But I have one regret with them, not sure if they work ok with my third edition army. If I had thought twice, I would have used falconers to represent the Waywatchers but I'm afraid is too late for this (for now).

It seems we dont need the points review this year on the OWAC so the list is quite easy to do it:

5 Treekins --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 models

10 Waywatchers ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 models

For the painting, I choose to do a couple of units with differents paints scheeme, not easier but funnier. I tryed to make them differents but compatible. And, of course, I was back to my beloved NMM. It has been a pleasure to paint them, really nice miniatures, probably, my favoutites from 4th/5th edition. I have done a minor conversión in one of them by adding a handkerchief on the face (on unit 1 with dark hair). The main diference between 4th/5th edition and 3rd edition is the quality of the cast, on these ones, the details are sharper and easier to paint! 

Time to show you some pics... :

Unit 1

Unit 2

Hope you like them. For the next month seems scouts will be my choice, second and last unit with 4th/5th edition army.

See you next month!
