I just wanted to post some pics of my WIP Wood Elves. I am pretty pressed for time so my army grows at about the same speed as a tree does :grin: Quality over quantity though, right?! Here is what I have so far.

I decided to make my own Tree Kin. I want them to look the way they are described in the army book. Spirits that animate dead wood into the shapes they choose to march to war in. I started with a wire armature.


GS was what I decided to use. Here you can see they're about the size of a Treeman.




I am still addind Spites, and details to the Tree Kin. I am also very close to finishing his two brothers :mrgreen:

I am also converting a Dark Elf High Sorceress into a Spellsinger. So far I have removed her crown thingy and sculpted hair in its place. I have sculpted a cloak onto her with GS in order to increase the feeling of movement that the model has. I cut the branch on her back, modeled on the cloak and then resculpted the branch over top of the cloak and given her cloths LOL. Oh yes, and Spites.





This makes the staff a lot more Wood Elfy. the staff is probhably the thinnest thing I have ever worked on :shok: I used a Dryad back branch as i'm sure you can recognze. I stuck two of the branches together to create a nice staff head.



The other project I am working on is my Alter Kindred. I am "altering" the model to be female, and giving her a unique head that will incorporate some of my favourite WE charactoristics. I am also going to equip her with a shield which I will scratch build and a great weapon which I think I will also make myself. I am also throwing around the idea of giving her a baby Dragon instead of the Crow on her arm, i'm not sure yet though.

I used a Dryad head as the base to work from




I am trying to immitate the waywatcher lord's head



So there you have it.
I will post more as it is completed, but as I said I do not have to much time for my hobby, so your patience is appreciated.

Please feel free to comment and offer feed back.

you'll have to teach me how to work with gs like tht very nice work. u plan on sellin anything(not tht my dad will let me buy them). could get u alot of money
Dude...That Green stuff work is fantastic...Wish i could do stuff like that...

Unfortunately i havn't even touched green stuff in my life yet...:laugh:
Very nice indeed, I'm very impressed.

How is the treekin model going to be finished? You talk about animated bits of wood, but it strikes me that something has to hold them together. Is the circling wire going to be ivy or some other creeper, or something like that?

Anyway; awesome work, it's going to be a fantastic-looking army when it's finished!

:awed cyclops:

I am thinking that when I paint them I will try and make it look as though some of the joints of the Tree Kin are glowing, which I intend to represent the spirit inside that is holding things together.

The circling wire is going to be ivy, I know the pics arent the greatest but I modeled little leaves and spirals onto the wire/ivy aswell.

I will finish the model by adding spites and moss. The spites will be GS, and the moss I think I will make using white glue and basing grass.

I am almost finished my Tree Kin's two unit mates as well :good:

:embarrassed:

Sorry I didn't see that. But I was going with that idea because it's a darn good one I think, and it had the look of a creeper about it, so, yay! great idea! I'm sure it'll look really cool when it's finished!

:wandering off to get his eye tested cyclops:
