Gil Galad

Hey guys,

I Finished Gil Galad the other day and I thought I should share with you how well he turned out. I haven't painted a Gil Galad model before so it was all new to me.

From the colours I think you can see that the model is definitely that of an elf. The Turquoise robes show off the model's originality. Most other high elves wear gold, silver, green and blue. The gold armour has been painted to look more richer because Gil Galad is an elf king.

The Warriors Oath of December

As my Oath of December, as well as my first oath, I have decided to declare a start to my new Warhammer Fantasy army, The Warriors of Chaos!

Blood for the blood god!

The Wizard's Oath of December

Hello,

My first ever oath of the month has begun and I am determined to complete and finish it before the end of the month. My oath will be to paint certain models before the release of the new Hobbit models ,which I intend to buy a few of, and then to carry on painting my oldish Warhammer at the same time as painting the new Hobbit selection.

So the models I intend to paint by the end of the month include;

• Gil-Galad
• Elrond
• Some High elves with spears and a banner bearer
• Sauron
• Gothmog

 One of my elves already painted but not based yet.

Novembers Oath and Decembers pledge

Hello there its The Wolf

At the beginning of November  you may recall I made an oath to paint up some Swordsmen of Hoeth for my High Elves, some Necron Immortals and a Necron Monolith. Well I have only managed to paint the Swordsmen of Hoeth due to unforeseen circumstances I was unable to complete my oath.  

With this in mind my Oath of the Month for December will be to

• Finish last months oath 
• Strip down some old models to repaint.
• Post a tutorial on how to strip old models 
• To build any new models I get for Christmas and Birthday

Pictures will follow soon of my finished  Swordsmen of Hoeth.

The Wizard introduced

Hello

My name is The Wizard and i will be a guest author on this blog for your Middle-Earth warhammer needs. My main contributions will be of the painting models from both the Lord of the Rings range of warhammer and the Hobbit range.

My work will include various step by step painting guides on how to get your models looking like mine. I have over 10 years painting experience and i would say i am now a very good painter.

Every so often i will also post step by step guides for conversions for Middle-Earth warhammer but my main hobby is the painting of the models, so the majority will be painting guides. I will post as regularly as i can to keep you up to date with my work.

Oath of November so far!

Hello there!

We are now currently half way through November, so I thought I would update you on my progress so far for my oath.

So far I have very nearly painted up my unit of 10 Swordsmen of Hoeth for my High Elves. All thats left are a few details. I still plan on painting my 5 Necron Imortals and my Necron Monolith. Theirs still plenty of time left!

Also this month I have started stripping the paint off some of my Space Wolves that I mentioned in alternative paints. In the next few days I shall show you just how to do it.

Welcome From The Witch

Hello fellow hobbyists,

First I want to say a big thank you to the guys for making me one of the gang.  I myself collect the undead Vampire Counts and the courageous Blood Angels (as you will have seen in the previous video of me and the Wraiths battle).

I've only been playing for 3 years and a great few years it has been.  I hope I can be a help to novices like myself and give you tips and help that I have discovered along the way.

Thanks for reading and look out for my future posts.

Alternative Paints

The Wolf here

I have been doing this hobby for as long as I can remember, and in all those years I have tried a few alternative paints to the Games-Workshop Citadel  paints.

When I first started back in 2001 Games-Workshop did do a spay can of Shadow Grey (now The Fang) I used this product and happily bought it many times before they discontinued it. It was a great product to work with and I was gutted just like many other hobbyists. They had a range of spays perfect for most armies.

The Wolf's Oath of November

The Wolf here.

As November is fast approaching I thought I would share with you my Oath of the Month as promised in my opening post. I am hoping that The Warrior, The Wraith and The Witch may also join me with the Oath of the Month with their projects.

The Oath can be anything for that month from painting to converting, any project really. However it must be started on the first of that month and then finished on the last day of the month. For example for November start on 1st November and finish on the 30th November.

Forge World Chapter Tactics: Minotaurs

Warrior here to take a look at the latest from Forge World - Chapter Tactics! I will also take a look at the character updates and see how this effects our Chapter Master and Chaplain. So without further ado lets see what the Minotaurs have got to play with!

Trample and Crush!

Halloween Special - Painting the Legion of the Damned

Hi! Warrior here for a spooky special! Halloween is fast approaching so I thought I would take a break from the Minotaurs and paint up the creepiest unit I could find. After spotting a bargain, here is my new Legion of the Damned...

Ooogaboooga!

Not content with the canon Legion colours, I decided to use a rather cool technique I saw on a forum and paint them like something out of Scooby Doos worst nightmare.

The Wolf's Pledge

Hello I'm The Wolf

May I be the second to welcome you to our blog. On this blog I intend to discuss many aspects of the hobby we all love. From conversions to painting, Tactics to Black Library everything to do with Warhammer 40,000 and Warhammer will be covered.

I hope you will enjoy this blog and drop in and check out our latest posts and projects.

Future posts to look out for :

Space Marine Minotaurs: Command Squad Part 1

Warrior here!

I am creating a Command Squad unit from the new Space Marine codex. So lets take a look at the Command Squad, and what it can do for the Minotaurs!

You talkin to me?

The command squad is a great unit, able to take a vast array of options and wargear, along with a veterans statline. It is proving very popular in competitive circles when pimped out with bikes and grav guns wall to wall. This is hugely effective but not, I feel, suitable for my Minotaurs!

The Warriors pledge

Hello this is The Warrior!

Being the first to post, I feel obliged to lay down a pledge.

This blog will be a compendium of our battles, collections, conversions, painting and tactics. We aim to inform and educate as well as show off our armies and battles! We will also be discussing the latest news and rumours from Games Workshop and offering a different perspective from the usual internet cynicism!

I hereby pledge to post useful, insightful and fun content on a regular basis.

Welcome to the Wolf, Warrior, Wraith and Witch!
