Hey all,

I figure posting stuff here would be a good motivator to paint everything I own otherwise Mt. Grey Plastic will never be conquered. Current factions are High Elves, Dark Elves and Legions of Chaos for WHFB, Blood Angels and Tau for 40k and there's a small smattering of X-wing ships (Not sure if I'll repaint those though).

First up: A high elf mage for WHFB.













If anyone could help regarding resizing them for the forum I'd appreciate the advice.

There will be more stuff coming in the near future if the winds of magic are kind

You're high elf mage likes heavy metal
I'm intrigued so far, subbed

Thanks home_brew,

I love how the metal finger symbol is threaded through the high elf iconography, they're just as metal as their dark kin. There's more in the works coming soon, as I picked up:

-2 dragon kits NIB

-A unit of shadow warriors/maiden guard (also NIB)

-2 NIB boxes of the old metal phoenix guard (regular 5 and the command 5),

-4 metal spearmen (circa 5th ed I think?)

-The IOB griffon (assembled)

-A warhammer quest wood elf wardancer

All for a smidge over $100 AUD (it's ~$350 worth of stuff). Gonna on-sell one of the dragons and maybe the shadow warriors but it rounds out everything. Combined with what I've already got it's a complete and dare I say, large-ish army.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
Alright, I've been productive outside of university studies (Brace yourself, exams are coming) and managed to complete a unit of 16 spearmen. They're currently unbased at the moment as I'm not sure what theme I want to do with that.

Anyhow, pics:






I'm not the best painter and these photos were taken a bit too close, but they're at least tabletop quality for rank and file. Going to add the aforementioned metal spearmen to these guys for a block of 20. Fighting in 4 ranks never felt so good (from a pre-8th view anyhow).

Good work securing that haul at a bargain price.

Spearmen are looking good. Keep it up.

Thanks! I'm actually feeling really productive with painting. Next up may be some archers while I'm on a roll
