I FINALLY finished up Drycha Hamadreth! This model has been sitting on the corner of my painting desk, almost entirely painted for... months now...? I think what was holding me up was not being able to decide how to paint ALL THE BUGS... and in the end I decided to just make them all blue-glowy-spirit-bugs, just to make it simple and get it all done!
Drycha Hamadreth - Regent of the Outcasts
She can launch a swarm of Flitterfuries as a ranged attack or a swarm of Squirmlings into melee and has some nasty sharp claws of her own!
ALL the Sylvaneth, so far...
I still have a pair of Treelords to finish up (a Treelord Ancient and Spirit of Durthu) and fifteen Tree-Reventnats or Spite-Revenants. I could wait until Amanda's played with both to decide which she'd prefer... or I could wait until the new Battletome comes out later this year and see if and how either changes... OR I could just say screw it and make them ALL Spite-Revenants for Drycha Hamadreth - Regent of the Outcasts to lead into battle!!
Currently this could be fielded as...
Treelord General’s Regiment
- Hero - Treelord (1) 210
- Unit - Kurnoth Hunters with Kurnoth Greatbows (3) 200
- Unit - Tree-Revenants (10) 180
- Unit - Gossamid Archers (5) 120
Total: 710
Branchwych’s Regiment
- Hero - Branchwych (1) 110 - Any Infantry
- Unit - Dryads (10) 90 - Infantry
- Unit - Dryads (10) 90 - Infantry
Total: 290
Drycha Hamadreth's Regiment
- Hero - Drycha Hamadreth (1) 220 - 0-1 Forest Sentinel, Any Sylvaneth
- Unit - Spite-Revenants (10) 160 Infantry
Total: 380
Faction Terrain: Awakened Wyldwood
ARMY TOTAL: 1380
The additional Treelords will add another 550points which will bring the force to 1930! The additional Revenants will add 240-270 points of optional extras!
Oh, I think I also have one of the Endless Spells to finish!

Im sometimes like that ,you get to a block and have to say, screw it and get it done, usually works! It has in this case, nice big walking tree!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Indeed! Thanks Iain!
DeleteYeah, one of my main painter's blocks is getting stuck on what colors to paint something. I've had things sit for ages, too. And one "trick" that sometimes works for me is to find some visual reference to emulate, usually not the exact mini but some analog, such as a creature or uniform or character from the real world or some other fictional setting that gives me a color scheme to work with.
ReplyDeleteGood job!
Because these are fantasy, I am often sucked in this idea that I NEED to do something creative and fun with each mini... but more often than not, recently, I just paint them the way they paint them on the Warhammer Website... because it saves making decisions hat slow the process...
DeleteExcept when the way they paint it is way too hard... then I got to think of a simplified version! ha!
