Nice! Those 4ed? metal goodies! They are. 16 of them painted back in the day and the rest I’ve picked up over the last couple of years from various sources and painted to match the originals

Let me know how you play those spear elves! Still testing mine and have not played in months because of cov19.
I am thinking of running 29 as bus with a bsb with gw and magic armor next game. And maybe shields.

The latest batch completed were reinforcements for my sisters of the thorn and wildriders, all built from a single box. The single sister takes the unit to 6 in total. I've often run 5 of them with a mounted mage and it's worked well. The extra body will just help to give them a bit more survivability and shield the mage from incoming fire for longer. I've painted her to as close a proximity to the others as I could. It's not perfect as my available colour palate for yellows/orange is not very big. The original sisters unit were an eBay purchase, as I really liked the paint job and they were cheaper than buying a new box! It was definitely fun painting a scheme that is so far removed from my normal style. I also noted, when trying to copy the paint job, that the other sisters I had were kit-bashed using the legs from glade riders and the torso from the sisters, something I'd not noticed before. I quite like that and will take some shots of them at a later date. The Wildriders were painted as a carbon copy of the other 10 previously painted. Again I literally used crimson wash over the brown to make them more like the red deer that are local to where I grew up. The additional 4 models now gives the flexibility of fielding 2 units of 7, which is, for me, their optimal number, or a big bus for 'funzies'.

Funzies indeed. That's a lot of angry antlers coming somebodies way. Very cool unit.

Man, I bet that's be one INTIMIDATING unit! It'd probably draw ALL the shooting and magic immediately, but hey, you could always use Life magic to make them more defensive and bring that who get shot down, back!

Awesome cavalry unit and hero Knoffles, though I had to do a double-take on what he was holding...

3 additional 'Treekin' complete. This takes the unit up to 6 in total (or 9 if I add in the 2 old marauder treemen and original Durthu). I do like these models and they were very quick and more importantly, enjoyable, to paint.

I like your colour scheme on those models. Bright, but not outlandishly so.
