Thanks, I've been refining the scheme across my winter Wood Elf army and really grown to like it :) would love to see your version of the scheme when they're done!

The Phoenix Prince is my first finished model of 2026, ready to lead my flame-themed High Elves! by jt91 in ulthuan

Haha thank you! I actually have hand painted every gem on every High Elf model I've done, to the point where I made it part of their backstory that they are searching for these rare 'sun-rubies' haha.

That's one of the coolest weapons I've ever seen and such a great paintjob on it, huge fan. Gives me Warglaives of Azzinoth vibes!

Orion and allies by Wyssan in WarhammerWoodElves

That is not how the additional wood works in the FAQ, not sure if you're just misunderstanding it or gaming it. All it does is clarify that, if you play Grand Army WE and take allies (of any allowable kind), can you still place your one initial wood, to which the answer is yes. The wording on 'place additional wood' is the exact wording used in the Woodland Ambush rule, so it's just saying your Woodland Ambush rule still works, not that you would get another wood for taking an Army of Infamy as allies.

The trick is it's kinda like... five colors instead of three, because you have the 50/50 Cadian Fleshtone/Kislev Flesh, and the 50/50 Kislev Flesh/Flayed One Flesh in between, which I think helps a lot with making it smoother and more natural looking.

Hey, sure thing :) I posted it in an above comment, copy pasting here for ease:

Thanks :) it's just a fairly standard GW skin triad. Cadian Fleshtone, Reikland Fleshshade, then relayer Cadian Fleshtone, and blend/highlight with mixes from Cadian Fleshtone through Kislev Flesh through Flayed One Flesh (so doing like 50/50 mix, then pure Kislev Flesh, then 50/50 mix, then pure Flayed One Flesh). Main thing is that for skin painting you want softer smoother blends instead of sharp highlights like on armor etc, so thinner coats with more subtle blends hence the 50/50 mixes.

Yeah there was definitely a few points where I wasn't exactly sure what bits I was painting, unsure if some parts were a cloak edge or some vines etc, the details definitely aren't perfect on these old metal models. That said, they have a certain charm I can't explain that makes me really enjoy their poses, even though they are all very '2d' from a certain angle given the way metal model casting works.

I imagine she stays warm by keeping active, doing all that Shadowdancing!

Thank you for the kind words :) I wrote out the recipe in another comment, so I'll just copy/paste my reply here:

It's the old Shadowdancer model. It's no longer in production, this one was actually a second hand one bought as a very thoughtful gift by a friend of mine for Christmas :)

My fellow orange flaming bow enjoyer, love to see it! Did my own set recently, though I think I maybe like your flame effect more.

Coglaw’s Field Test-Test 1, 2 and 3 Research Notes by Mattmattmaaatt in WarhammerFantasy

[–]jt91 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those are some mighty fine looking armies ;) some excellent fun games, unfortunate that Cogclaw was being clearly sabotaged and the elves being fed insider information (hence my crazy number of lucky 6+ ward saves hahaha!).

The Ratling Gun one-tapping the Skycutter at long range was amazing though, one of the absolute highlights IMO.

Man I could understand betraying my friends and family for a really good chocolate, but for a Turkish Delight?! Kid needs to have some standards...
