Your work on the lumineth realm lords commission is looking great Mottdon and particularly like how you’ve done the gems on the lumineth lord mount.

Are you getting closer to finish the commission now? Well, that'll be it for Lumineth (Phase 1) for a while now. I'm working on a smaller Empire commission as well as the large Vampire Counts commission. After I finish those, I'll come back to the Lumineth (Phase 2), then a huge Daughters of Khaine army, and an Idoneth Deepkin army after that! I'm pretty much booked into 2022. I might be able to fit in a smaller commission in here and there.

That it is, strutsagget! I hope I can manage to fit in some painting for myself every now and then.

Lol, I have a friend who has a degree in art and he has offered to help me churn out some models, but I don't even trust him! It's funny how particular you get about details with this stuff! (I've tried tutoring him on painting models, and he is just too afraid to put brush to model. He's always questioning should we do this, do that, color choice, theory, this is what we did in college, this is what we did in the early 90's, blah, blah, blah.... JUST PAINT IT THE WAY I SAID! I can paint 10 models in the time it takes me to stop and show him what to do on a base coat for one model, so....). But, yeah, ultimately I'll teach my quads how to paint and see which ones are good at it and if they want to pursue it.

I don't usually even know what a model might look like until I put on a base coat and paint the eyes. I always start with eyes, and then go from there. I'm sure one of your kids will pick up the hobby. My oldest son has started a Rohan army and it looks really good. I'm impressed given I bought him cheap brushes.

Well, I know I've been posting a LOT of Lumineth (AoS High Elves) lately, but I thought I'd share this little gem I just got in the mail. I bought these 33 old school White Lions to add to my HE army rosters. These, including the 20 I already own + Korhil, brings me to 54 White Lions! Dang! I'll have to play a WL themed list soon! 😁

Here's another pic of all 53 White Lions, Korhil, and 2 White Lion Chariots. I love this stuff. 😁

Huge haul. I've always wanted a lion chariot.
Something about the Korhil model annoys me. Love the standard white lions though.

Everything, from his "Come get some!" stance, to the HUGE axes (not one -oh no - TWO) he's casually carrying, to the massive lion pelt he's wearing...I love it! I could just see this guy whirling into combat, quick, fluid motion of death. I imagine a combat between him and Krell would be BRUTAL!

glad to see you haven't completely forgotten about the original High Elves over that monstrous AoS commission. What else would go into a Chrace HE army? Reavers? eagles? what about core, woodsy-looking archers? Hope you'll find time to pursue this.
