These are looking awesome. I'm very jealous of your ability to paint smooth lines on your freehand. Ah thank you so much! I hate my freehand, it never looks as accomplished as I'd like, so it's very kind of you to say!

So after what feels like an eternity - 20 archers including musician complete! I paint units in full unit batches, so in this case - 20 at a time, it feels like it takes longer (it doesn't) but I love getting to the end and knowing that the whole unit is just ...done! I really love these old archers too - great looking sculpts, in a pose that I imagine high elves would be in, all drawn back at the same time to let loose a fatal volley of cream fletched arrows. As a WYSIWYG kind of guy, this does lead me to buy light armour for my archers which I don't think is optimal... But it's what it is. Up next, Ellyrian Reaver's and Bolt throwers 👍

A little more work completed, it feels like an age since I've updated this! Ellyrion Reaver's done, 2 units of 5 with minor addition to change the champion to a musician. I'm really not sure if I like these models or not... Lots of hard to reach details and infilled negative space. I'm sure I'll replace them at some point with nice metals. They are done though which is the important thing. And then, whilst these were being painted, I did a couple of bolt throwers alongside them. Very basic scheme, but again they are done So, good progress... I only have 18 swordmasters and 6 dragon princes to paint and thats 2.5k done!

May they slay your enemies. Unless you're up against me, of course. Good work mate!

That is probably the nicest I've ever seen the IOB Reavers done. Be proud of those, they look great. Way better than mine.

Battle through back pain and very busy work schedule I've finally finished this small unit of dragon princes. Lovely 6th edition metal sculpts, keeping in the green of my army scheme. Basic tabletop standard, but good enough to run out for a game. Just a unit of swordmasters now, and that's my 2.5k army list complete! Wow, it feels like it's gone so quickly... Yet taken so long!
