Pokrzyw's Druchii - OWAC VII - wrap up post - 4207 points total

 For those about to finish the OWAC - I salute you!!!

In memory of Bryan Ansell.

"In the far north lies the realm of the Witch King of Naggaroth, the bleak and frozen Land of Chill. Here are the cities of the Dark Elves, battlements of black stone and high towers rising like cruel spears into the pale sky. The Witch King rules over all the cold mountains and dark forests with an unbending will of iron. Dark Lords and their mighty armies are his to command. Sorcerers hasten to his call. Pale and beautiful Witch Elves dance their deadly rites before his throne as they keen the battle songs of theirs bloody master" - Warhammer Armies Dark Elves 4ed

At beginning it was just a scrap of metal and plastic


                                       


It were long 6 months of preparing and painting miniatures that are not my favourite army (with some exceptions). Druchii come on my shelf by some chain of barter. But.. there were a lot miniatures waiting for painting.. Main forces are ready in result of OWAC VII, but my personal weakness - cavalry is still not finished.  This time I've also do some bonus miniatures connected with army, but from 6-7th edition of WFB. Main work was done during first months. Last two I was not at home travelling a lot.

Bonus miniatures - beasmaster on manticore, hydra, sorcress and Mengil Manflyers

Malekith conversion on dragon

Main OWAC 7 forces

Harpies, sorcress on cold one, and spearman unit gave me a lot of fun

Dragon is nice centerpiece of this army. This small guy made by Jaakko would act as a hero (I gave him possibility to ride the dragon from time to time ;o) )

Cold one knights - I'm happy with this scheme. Tomato soup boiled bu master chief ;)

I need to prepare better banners next time..

The coolest mercenary unit. This is the salt of 6edition Druchii

The most beautiful Witch Elves

During OWAC V I've painted High Elves army. This is good moment to show both armies in deadly clash. High Elves are brave, but it looks that Druchii have superiority on battlefield:

Remainings:

Unfortunately there were some casualties. Not painted, waiting for better day.. Black Riders and Hydra still not finished..

Thank You very much for such a great time. I'm proud to be in the group that reach the end of this challenge. I plan to skip OWAC VIII as I don't have miniatures for such event, but there are plans to return in OWAC IX. Maybe there will be time for WH40k project.
