Awakening of the Woods – Part 8

So this is slowly coming to an end, one more month & then we’re supposed to be done with 1500 points. Am I there yet? Nope! Will I reach it? I doubt it…. The last month I’ve had little time for hobbyprojects. That doesn´t say I haven’t done nothing at all, because I have. For […]

It’s been a while since I posted anything here, however I haven’t been idle, in fact I’m making great progress on my Wood Elf army, more archers done & even better, my first treeman has been painted! I opted for Durthu himself due to the fact that he’s a classic model with a cool pose […]
