High Elf Skycutter Assembly

The Skycutter was the first model that I chose from the new releases High Elves.  Its a great looking model with some nice options, but doesn't nearly fit onto the chariot base supplied.  I'm sure this is more of an annoyance for people playing in tournaments, along with it being harder to transport due to its fiddly bits.

Anyway, those issues aside, its a great model that goes together quite nicely.  Check out the video below:

Dark Eldar Archon WIP

I've been meaning to paint this guy for a while, and before I jump onto more High Elf stuff I thought I'd change pace.  I'm going to do the majority on my painting rig, so there won't be any pictures, just video.  That said, to save a bit of time I did the base colours first since there's nothing too interesting about those.

On a side note, I really hate finecast.  The detail on this model is far worse than anything (recent) out of metal or plastic.  I really hope GW is able to replace everything with those single figure plastic sprues soon.

Kroot Carnivore tutorial

As promised, here's the follow up tutorial to the Tau firewarrior one.  I followed the basic guide that was published in one of the White Dwarf issues shortly after the new paints were released.  Check out the video where I show the complete process at 4x speed.  I used my swivel holder this time so he would stay in focus...

High Elf Dragon Princes Tutorial

Here's those Dragon Princes I've been working on, all finished now and a painting guide below.  I'm just assembling the new Skycutter now and will have an assembly video of that shortly.  Check out the video after the break and paints below that.

High Elf Dragon Princes WIP2

Here's the second set of work in progress shots of the Dragon Knights I've been working on.  They are taking a while, as is the case with mounted troops.

Night Goblin Tutorial

Another painting tutorial for my Orcs and Goblins.  These little critters paint up fairly quickly, but you need  a ton of them.  As usual, the video is after the break and the painting guide (in pictures) is at the bottom of the post.

High Elf Dragon Knights WIP

With all the rumours going around about the new High Elf book I've started working on some models I've had laying around.  I've wanted to paint these guys for a long time, but have been quite intimidated by all the fancy stuff on them. Well, I've got the base coats and washes done now, so I'm on the home stretch now.

Deathwing Knights Tutorial

Here's the finished images of the Deathwing Knights as well as a painting tutorial and list of the paints I used. I found these guys a bit quicker to paint than the Deathwing Terminators from Dark Vengeance since there was less bare armour to paint.  I found the bone colour on flat surfaces to be the slowest, but since there was less on these guys it went quicker.

The full painting guide is at the bottom of this post.
