Right I have finally succumbed to the fantasy fever that is sweeping the AB.

This has prompted me into finishing the last few units of my Dark elf army. Now i've had a dark elf force since the codex b4 the most recent one was first released and have painted them once (to a very poor standard) and have been slowly repainting them over the yrs.

Now i haven't got as much to paint as some of the other guys at the moment it stands as:

5 converted dark riders
10 CoKs(the metal 1s) these need repainting
5 corsairs(the metal ones)

I don't really intend to buy any more models for them as i'm not a big fan of the newer dark elf kits, well other than the cold ones. tho if rumours of plastic witch elves are true i might get them if they are any good.

So the main focus for the challenge for me will be characters, seen as i have a bit of an addiction to converting and sculpting them :D

so for my first update her is the beginning of a scratch sculpted sorceress inspired by these pics:

Inspiration!

and the armature so far:

I'll try get some pics of all the stuff i have painted already, later on.


P.S notice how i didn't blame digits lol, i instead blame Highmarshaldave cos he encouraged me :P

She looks really good Si. Needs a little smoothing out in places, but fairly good thus far :D

Awesome start Si. I think the facial expression at the moment makes her look a little like one of those blow up dolls though..... lol

Coming on nice though!

Great looking sculpt. One thing I thing could use some good improvement is her stomach. As far as I know you want to give her a bikini, but around her stomach you have a wierd kinda line. If you want to give a top with a bare stomach, then it's great, but otherwise it might be better if you try to smooth that part out.

I also think the head could use a few minor tweaks, but I can't really put my finger on it.....

Keep up the great work though :) . I've never really had the patience to improve my sculpting :P .

Baru: I think its meant to be some sort of open fronted swim-suit style thingy, rather than a two piece. Just makes her look a little strange and elfy, I guess.

Looking great Simon, quite like the face. Better since teefs were added, lol. Keep it up mate.

Dave out.
