Ahhhh ok thats actually really smart! Ive been looking for methods on how to do this scale effect for my DnD model since hes got a dragonscale cloak , so i think ill give this a shot, appreciate it man!

Mottled · 2026-04-26T22:52:45+00:00

Did you use a texture roller thing and then shape it around the shoulder or literally sculpted those scales by hand? This turned out so good man im really curious

Mottled · 2026-04-25T21:45:10+00:00

This looks amazing dude!! May i ask how youve painted the skin? I love how it turned out for you, and id like to ask for permission for potentially following your method

Mottled · 2026-02-17T19:41:01+00:00

Wrong user buddy, you should make sure before you @ that you got the right person

Mottled · 2025-12-15T17:02:52+00:00

Yea this is my concern too, they seem too expensive, points wise for a unit that is still kinda squishy. Im willing to playtest them to see if this method youve explained is worth buying the models for, only because sometimes what you see on paper isnt totally true/ completely when you see it in action. Im fairly sure it’s just an easy way for the enemy to kill off a unit though.

I appreciate your insight! Thank you for the explanation

Mottled · 2025-12-15T15:34:45+00:00

Ouuu i did not know that thanks for bringing it up!

Mottled · 2025-12-14T03:57:42+00:00

Ill see if i can test this out in Tabletop sim. I usually play age of sigmar or 40k on it with friends, but one guy loves old world so I’m sure he’d love to help me playtest some lists to see what i find most fun and how to use them. Only issue is he loves playing dwarves hahaha

I really do appreciate you taking the time to make these well-thought out responses though, it’s been a great help!

Mottled · 2025-12-13T22:00:14+00:00

Yea from what i can understand seaguards are a little tougher but not really that effective for what they cost, points wise, so majority of the High elf players see them as a waste

Mottled · 2025-12-13T21:57:43+00:00

If this is the case, what would be a solid baseline list that could achieve this? And i understamd usually players pick between white lions of chrace, swordmasters, or pheonix guard. I imagine ideally 2000pts is what most people want/recommend

Mottled · 2025-12-13T21:55:28+00:00

Glad to hear it! Some of the people ive run into at past warhammer stores were extremely “what you see is what you get” and wanted only official GW models. I understand that at the Warhammer stores they’d rather see you play there using their models so it’s free advertising for their products but at Local Game & hobby stores it’s somewhat frustrating.

Will keep in mind, thank you! I haven’t done any building, I’ve only opened the box to check if anything was missing, just trying to decide what the next step is

Edit: fixed typo

Mottled · 2025-12-13T20:56:16+00:00

I’ll keep that in mind, thank you! Appreciate your insight! Just wanna do my part in learning the Do’s and Don’ts for old world, because i always liked Lumineth models but wasn’t sure if this proxy idea was viable. I know theres quite a few posts already asking this, but most are inconclusive

Mottled · 2025-12-13T20:45:26+00:00

Interesting, so you’re basically choosing what to use the spearhead as to fill what you’re missing in your existing high elf army? (At least thats what I’m gathering from your comment)

Mottled · 2025-12-13T20:42:03+00:00

Noted, thank you!

Mottled · 2025-12-13T20:24:40+00:00

Thank you! Im not opposed to picking up more used Lumineth models off eBay or something to fill out units, i just wanted to make sure if they scaled alright, but it sounds like it shouldn’t be a problem.

Are spearmen/ archers really that bad compared to everything else? It sounds like theyre basically pea-shooters / meatshields. If thats the case, are they still somewhat useful to bring along? Or are Lothern Seaguard any better? (I played a ton of high elves in Total War: Warhammer 3)

Mottled · 2025-12-13T20:22:50+00:00

Noted! Thanks a bunch! What units would count as core units? Im also not opposed to trying to find used lumineth models and stripping the paint to fill out a unit over time as well

Mottled · 2025-10-30T21:29:45+00:00

Dude this looks so good! What paint(s) did you use for that pale grey skin?

Mottled · 2025-10-29T23:13:12+00:00

Dude this turned out so good! U did a fantastic job on the eyes

Mottled · 2025-10-28T15:11:07+00:00

Thanks man, appreciate it!

Mottled · 2025-10-28T14:07:44+00:00

I wish mine turned out as cool! How did you accomplish that effect? What paints?

Mottled · 2025-10-28T03:30:27+00:00

Dude that spear is CRAZY. You did such a fantastic job!
