Grand's Troubadours Finished

The Leprechauns are Ready to Cause Mischief & 300 Posts

Finished off the last couple of leprechauns including the female - Ma Ogg. I almost forgot to add some yellow to her and so had to add a couple of yellow beads. Just to keep the colour theme. 

All of Grand's Troubadours including 'The Dunce'

The Main Protagonists - From the Grand and Ma Ogg

300 Posts

Just looking back this morning, I realised that this my 300th blog post. Thanks to all those who have viewed my blog, chosen to follow and posted comments. Check out 100th Post and 200th Post on these links for a short hop back in time. With any luck I will have finished my wood elves before the 400th post!

 The Second Thing Every Leprechaun Warband Needs

An attack duck! For some reason this just seemed to fit and it used the last duck from Salute. Work progresses on the leprechauns, just two more to go and Boris the Dunce.

A Skilled Trollslayer

And a Prince Amongst Elves

With so many great Aly Morrison high elves it is hard to pick favourites. But this is definitely one of my favourites and my original choice as a stand in for Brommedir at Orcs Drift. All of these early high elves have really individual designs.  Very different from the highly regimented high elves that came later. Each one could easily be an elven prince with expensive furs, bespoke armour and exotic weaponry. 

What Does Every Leprechaun Warband Need?

Pots of Gold!

Parliament of Owls & Tricksters

Leprechauns Sneak Out 

Work continues on the leprechauns and their familiars - the owls. I decided to use a bright yellow to tie all of these models together either with an item of clothing on the leprechauns or yellow flowers with the owls. Obviously haven't gone down the Grimdark or grubby earth routes as I wanted them stand out in their bright colours. Particularly pleased with the face of the leader under his hat.

Back to the Paint Bench

Starting the Leprechauns and Other Stuff

Just returned from my holidays which was very relaxing but didn't offer much opportunity for wargaming stuff except to catch up on some YouTube videos and blogs. However, I did come back with a plan which is to paint up the Leprechaun warband from Oakbound plus Boris the Dunce. Boris is needed stop the warband totalling 13 which doesn't feel right for the lucky leprechauns.  

Anyway, first leprechaun painted in the traditional greens and yellows.  I am not sure if the other might have some different colours. 

Once the leprechauns are finished I will move onto the wood elf cavalry and whilst on holiday I did manage to find these cocktail sticks which made me think wild elf lances. And even if they don't, I reckon they could come in handy for a Chaos warband. 

A quick spirit to finish off the first elven animal hander which completes the first wood elf unit.
