So, been a while since I updated anything here, but that doesn't mean I have been idle when it comes to the Hobby! First up, after working on it for two months, I finally finished my new Wood Elves general, Highborn on a Dragon which I call The King of Blades. When I this autumn got the idea to use a dragon list for a tournament I will be attending now in february I knew I wanted a real Wood Elves dragon, not a green painted HE or DE dragon. Lucky me I had the Sisters of Twilight box at home, so I started right away to assemble this all metal beast! My next problem was the character on it, same here I didn't want it to look like a green painted HE or DE so found a body from Noble on a Great Eagle box. The swordarm is taken from a GG-kit and with some basic sculpting I got it on there, the head I took from a Warhawk Rider and the shield is from the old Asarnil the Dragonlord. I was satisfied with the looks of all the components but still got the feeling that something was lacking. After some thought I found the reason: the model lacked somewhat in presence. It looked too tiny and insignificant up on the dragon and after randomly seeing a picture of the Queen of Blades from Starcraft I got the idea to do something similar but with a Wood Elves touch. Here is what I ended up with:
While hearing the song Emerald Sword it just felt cool to paint the sword green, and I'm really satisfied with the result, the model certainly looks like a Wood Elf and still got a fearsome presence on the battlefield, the perfect centerpiece to my army!
Here is some more pictures:
Next update will come after the tournament with some comments and results! Cheers
