Hey everybody, I've been painting up my Vampire Counts battalion and my girlfriend has been greatly interested in wood elves for a long time, so for christmas I bought her the female spellsinger model and thats what finally got her started on her wood elf army. she recently purchased a box of glad guard to paint up as practice before she paints the spell singer. Also, I'd like to share with you my girlfriend's first model she painted 10 months ago when we first started dating, it was a legolas model. so without further ado I present our miniatures


here is the first model shes ever painted


and here is the glade guard she painted, I love seeing how much shes improved personally since I've been teaching her stuff.


Sorry for the dark pictures by the way

And here are the Crypt ghouls I started painting yesterday, I still need to paint a couple parts I missed on the crypt ghast though





We are both going with an autumn theme for our armies, mine will show the theme mostly in the bases when I start them, the concept is basically her bases being normal autumn and mine being a more dead look, as if my horde is dragging the essence of death along with them. We are also going to attempt to theme alot of our stuff as if our armies are specifically fighting each other. If you guys could contribute any ideas on how we could that, that would awesome!

Thanks for looking everybody, we would definitely love some feedback.

Sincerely Jessica and Jacob

They look really good (she has improved a lot)
An idea is to use some of her spare elf parts on your zombies ans whatnot to make them seem like they are elves killed by your army and resurected.

Thankyou ah, maybe I'd get more commentary if I get better pics

The high base level skill of women when it comes to painting minis drives me to distraction sometimes!

Nice looking work mate.

Like the paper chicken says if you can have an obvious item missing from one army and appearing in the other you'll get that tangible link you're looking for.

Like maybe take a crown or something of one of the elves and give it to the Vampires or Paint the arrow s of the archers a distinctive colour and have a few sticking out of the bay guys somewhere.

Of course various Elf and Un-dead "bits" floating about on the bases would help too.

Anyone else come in here to look for a pic of a painted girlfriend?

NO !! OF COURSE NOT ....... ok well yeh kinda......
