Its the Druchii way of gaming!
Best way to get rid of a treeman is wait until the owner has it on the table in front of him and then kick him very hard in the groin from behind. When he doubles up and smacks his face intoit, he should wreck the treeman and it will teach the little bastard not to run a treeman at 750

Deathknight: Yeah, this hydra was waaaay cooler the the previous GW version, although now I want the newer one... sigh!!

Awesome paintjobs, can't stop looking at them. 20 per week? Well... I cannot beat that with my 6 per month
Would you share the secret of the goldish like metal on the execs? Looks exactly like how I imagined the armours of silvers steel (the ones they often refer to in the Malus Darkblade novels) to look like.

ITs only 20 a week if I actually get the time to sit down ... does'nt happen very often.
The way I do gold is to start with Tinbitz as the base and then just work my way up to burnished gold with highlighting, then a chestnut ink followed again by burnished gold highlights. It's surpriningly quick to do

Actually... I think I didn't look close enough when noticing that only the Command Group does have the goldish colour an the others have the kind of very nice chainmail-mithril silvery thing. How was that done? Is it simple highlighting again? Mine would never look like that... any special techniques you would like to share with us or is it just my poor painting skills keeping me away from such impressive results?

I love this army. You have used models from all over the place without losing any cohesiveness.
Great to see some of the old Marauder miniatures still in use as well.
This inspires me to get to work on my own army, its in a very sorry state at the moment having been neglected for a couple of years. I have been playing but have made very little effort to make repairs or paint anything new.

I think they need irises.
I'm guessing that the "whites only" thing with the eyes is intentional, but it looks either 1) too freaky and non living, or 2) like somebody didn't bother to finish the eyes.

That's silly! Playin with little statues, pretendin' they're fightin'! Why not just round up a bunch of real goblins and lettem' whack it out?

Fair call on the irises.
I did it just cos they look really evil, especially the executioners and knights.
As for the metal on the Execs, its just Chainmail highlighted with Mithril followed by a VERY diluted blue/black ink wash, them hightlihgted again with mithril.
I have some really old Marauder minis that I'll put a pic up of, sadly they are'nt next in line for painting, Thats the withches!

Which one?
One is a Reaper mini and the other one is a Morathi/withch elf conversion.

Very cool Kurze.
I love armies that integrate minis from many ranges and eras, yet still retain a cohesive overall `look`. I`m also a big fan of including the odd old classic mini into a unit of newer models. It`s a nice surprise for your opponent. Thanks to GW`s mostly excellent previously released ranges of DE`s, it`s also quite viable to include whole units of classic mini`s into your `new` army. I use Marauder Rxb Warriors exclusively, `raptor` style metal COK`s, 5th ed. era Corsairs, and numerous other older models alongside the newer shinier DE`s. You`ve done this really well IMO. It definately generates more interest when viewing the army.
I also use that old Hydra model. I thought it was a Ral Partha model ? Maybe I`m too old and senile, as someone above mentioned it`s a Reaper mini. I do use a Reaper model of a Beast Mistress but can`t remember her name. I love that Hydra model. I`ve used it for many years as I never liked the GW offering and it looks excellent. It`s a bit small in my eyes by comparison to GW`s other beasties. I tell my opponents that it`s an `immature` Hydra in training.
I have some reservations about the high gloss effect, but overall you have a very cool looking, well painted army that looks the business.
Excellent.
