Dryad and Shift Towards Fantasy

Here is a shot the first Dryad I painted for my friend.  This is a massive project I will be doing for him hitting the 5000 point mark huge.  Thankfully he's being gracious and not being a slave driver about it. 

For the foreseeable future expect to nothing but Warhammer fantasy on here.  Not only because of the wood elf commission and the fact that I am getting another large force sent to me to work on, but b.c the 40k campaign I was running ended.  I really don't want go too much into why it ended, but this Clerks quote from Randall I think sums it up, "This job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers."

So going forward a closed door invitation only Fantasy campaign is in the works.

Staring down the barrel of a gun...or spider.

So I played a game with my dark elves last night against my friends orcs and goblins.  Well since I'm a math guy I'll use an equation here:
Miscasts+Spider+Giant+Wyvern+Shades w/Assassin in a wildwood=Entertaining game but ultimately a loss.  Needless to say, I cleared all of the Dark Eldar of my painting desk last night and got started on my Hydra model. 

I'll post the progress of the Hydra later this week.  A quick not on Dark Eldar, my main goal with the summer is to get them all built and primed and maybe paint a couple, but mainly I just want them to be ready for me to work on when the weather here makes priming outdoors impossible.

Sorceress and Chapel

I know it has been a while since I posts something.  I've been furiously building Dark Eldar as well as working with GW's customer service team to get my Finecast miscasts cleared up.  However, with Storm of Magic on the horizon, I painted up a sorceress and built a chapel.  There will probably be some more Warhammer Fantasy stuff being posted here in the short term, my main goal with the Dark Eldar is to have the entire army built/primed by the end of the summer for me to paint during the fall/winter.

I am actually going up against my friend's gobbos tonight.  Maybe I'll record the results and have a battle rep for the blog.
