#White lion of chrace full#

So basically, this is a kit bash more than a conversion. This dude is a mage, but eventually I intend to have 2 units of 'counts as' mounted White Lions- some in heavy garb to use the rules of Dragon Princes, and some lighter ones to either be Silverhelms or Reavers, depending on what I need. This is the test model/ideas prototype for my mounted Chracian units. Ok, now I'm done messing about elsewhere on the forum. Nononono shhhhhhhh! You and Forge World can't tempt me back into Eldar I'm not listing lalalalalaaaaa! TristanGray wrote: Also, Vallejo makes a copy of tentacle pink! I like the smirk but I would like to give her better cheek bones. I will probably go at her cheeks with a file at some point too, if I can manage it. The idea is to decorate her armour with gems rather than squiggles, and then sculpt the lion face onto the one shoulder. When I do get more, I will be rounding out her hips (sorry Sigvald, but your butt is too skinny.) and filling in the rest of the swirly patterns on the armour.

I also filled in the Slaanesh symbol on the shoulder, and covered over some of the muscle-sculpting down the sides, to make it a little bit more of a feminine breastplate (but only a little!) I added the gem at the neck, too.ДЄt the moment, this is all the modelling I can do on her as I have run out of GS, and it's unlikely that I'll get any more for a fortnight or so. The breastplate is going to be metal, so I went for a more styalised look for her bust than a realistic one. With the arms and cloak cured, I got to work on the torso. Instead, I have decided to work a lion face onto one of her shoulders, much like the standard White Lions have.

Of course, she wouldn't be much of a White Lion without some lion fur! I toyed with the idea of a full Lion cape, but decided against it.

She's the kind of lady who would wrestle a Lion bare-handed, and probably actually has. She's something of a giant already, being taller than the others, and I like the idea of her having bare, muscled arms. She's got some pretty impressive muscles, but this is how I intended it. Commence pinning, ready for the GS and new hands.ДЄ quick balance to check the arms were in proportion. I wanted her to be pointing forwards, directing her troops, so the sword and shield had to go. My working area, and some of the stuff I used. Who else has nice enough hair to be a High Elf? My base model was a rather unfortunate Sigvald the Magnificent. Because of this, I wanted something a bit different, so I decided to make a Chracian princess rather than a prince. The elves of Chrace are hard and weathered, and not so refined and. Ok - first up, the first half of my Lord Conversion:ДЇor this army I didn't want a 'standard' High Elf lord. I expect there to be lengthy gaps between my updates here once I post all the stuff I have done so far, as it takes me an age to paint anything and yeah- the aforementioned poorness/laziness.

Now I'm just hoping I have the skill to make it look how I imaging. Combined with my long-standing fondness for the White Lions of Chrace, I decided to theme my army around the estate (and citizens) of a Chracian noble- so needless to say, there will be more than a couple White Lions (of both the cat and the elf) variety once I am done! I have a fair amount of fluff worked out for this army, and some fun ideas as well. Like a lot of new High Elf players, I have been totally sucked in by the new lion models. After that, a battalion box followed and now I have the respectable beginnings of a nice little army. This sudden return to the hobby was triggered by the IoB griffin, which I picked up super-cheap on e-bay and which is possibly the nicest model I have ever owned to date. I own 4 copies of the High Elf army book, but this is the first time I have ever jumped in and collected them. My current project (having abandoned my Eldar when GW stopped making Tentacle Pink), is returning to the army that first drew me to Warhammer- the High Elves. I am not the best modeller or painter in the world, but this is a passion of mine and I have really enjoyed seeing other people's work, so I thought I would share mine. I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog here since I signed up.
