My Dark Elves Collection

Post by Maranith_Black_Ark »

Hi.
AoS is the worst thing that could have happened to me in regards to my passion for this incredible fantasy dimension. Nevertheless, my aesthetic lust will not be terminated. I will every once post pictures of my favorite race, painted to highest standard by world renowned painters(I suck at painintg lol).

Hope you'll like them.

Superb model!
Not only the painting, but also the conversion.

Crone Hellebron variation. I asked for"deathsword" to be adorned with painted ghosts, which I really think went great here. Also, the fire on the base which protects her from spells made a great addition overall. Painted by Loler.

One of my favorites: Dark Elf sorceress on unicorn by Awaken realms. Morathi's spear was used for conversion. I knew a unicorn was the right choice of me as a great addition to the overall look rather than an ordinary steed=)

It looks beautifully converted and painted, but the angle of the picture seems not to give justice to the legs.
Would you happen to have the same model taken from a different angle?

Everything looks great.

The glowing rocks on the sorceress unicorn - in order for it to look complete, you need to put the glow effect on the legs of the horse and boots of tge woman.
The current glow effect also looks too thick. When it comes to glow effects sometimes less is better.

Or you can just remove the glow by painting over it with the basing colours.

Thank you.
Painting is superb.
The sorceress was not made by a professional, and shows some mistakes.
Overall the model remains beautiful.

Some Cold One Knights. As you will see henceforth, I usually order units magnetized to their bases instead so that one can alternate bases accordingly to different battlefield landscapes for the sake of a much finer impression. Some of the additional base themes can be seen below.

Thats a pretty cool idea. That banner is ridiculous!!! I wish I could paint something on a banner half as nice.

Lovely painting, lovely bases. Love the old knights with the present lizards.
Incredible amount of work there.

Ordered Morathi before. I never really appreciated her sculpt, but I've always liked the pegasus and I
felt for some unconventional coloring to be applied for once.
