Ellyrian Reavers Nobels

 

I wanted to have some Nobels for my High Elf collection joining the horsemasters of Ellyrion.
I managed to trade some more Ellyrian Reavers with a friend and I have converted 2 of them into characters using some Dark Elf bits.
I think using Dark Elf bits fits great, showing the more fiercer tribal sides of a nobleman from Ellyrion.

Lothern Seaguards

 
Here we have a freshly painted unit of Lothern Seaguards for my High Elf collection.
The miniatures are a mixture of the "new" plastic Seaguards from the Island of Blood box and older metal Seaguards.
I made greenstuff pressmoulds from instantmoulds to the old metal miniatures so they would have the same shielddesigns as the "new" plastic miniatures.

Im really happy with the end result of the painting. Granted, I could have worked even more with shades and such but I got many more miniatures to paint so some corners have to be cut.
The end result really shows a unearthly, surreal unit. The light tones contrast great against the earthly tones of the ground. 

Aethon Heavy Sentinel

I have painted a second Aethon Heavy Sentinel for my Solar Auxilia collection.
Its not a beautiful vehicle by any mean but and I really didnt like them when I first got this model but with paint and lots of dirty dirty love I have started to really like this ugly pig...

All the weapons are changeable so I can pick what weapons I feel will fit each game or task to give it.

I gave it a warthog marking from Greenstuff world if I remember correctly.

Together with my first Aethon Heavy Sentinels...
Two ugly chunky walkers.

And my whole collection of the new sentinels.

Solar Auxilia Hermes light sentinels

I have painted me a couple of the Solar Auxilia Hermes light sentinels.
I added some

But I manage to break all the radio antennas during the build of these, one I repaired as a flag but the rest i couldn't bother.
So these are way to thin.

I added some new heads some new arms and extra stowage.


Paintingwise I went with a turquoise middle part on a green vehicle.
For the miniatures I went with probably one of the ugliest camouflage ever invented... the old soviet Berezka camo..

With lots of chipping and small rust scratches I feel they look like machinery that really are pushed to its limit during a long scouting mission.

All the weapons choices are interchangeable, either with magnets or by simple pinning it in place.
