The Oldworld Army Challenge 2, May's entry.

So here is the update for May and the The Old World Army Challenge.

For May I painted Dark Elf Corsairs and a Sorceress

 Here are the Corsairs. Insane amount of detail but fun to paint.

 The one problem with Corsairs is the poses. Very hard to fit together as a unit. I ended up marking the bottoms for placement, once I found a combination that fit together.

 I love this lady. So evil.

 June is done, will post shortly and then a final wrap up post.

Painting update for the Oldworld Army Challange.

I just realized I didn't post anything since the January entry for The Old World Army Challenge. If you haven't checked it out lately, lots of great old lead painted on the OWAC site here. 

So lets get caught up.

January


An Assassin, Crossbowmen and a Bolt Thrower.


February


I took a Mulligan. We are allowed one "miss". I was too busy with fixing up Rivoli and my Frostgrave Ghost Archipelago for Cold Wars.

March


Witch Elves

Cauldron of Blood


April


The Black Guard of Naggaroth and a Sorcerer.


And here's a group shot of everything done so far.




I have May and Junes entry to do. Corsairs and Cold One Knights and a General.

Almost done.

January's Painting Submission for OWAC2

Here is my January lot for the Old World Army Challenge.

As this was the first unit painted, I really struggled to come up with a paint scheme. I must have painted 8 or 9 different trial paint schemes. Not on all, but on 1 or 2 figures at a time. Some of the Xbowmen have 3 or 4 coats in different places.

It was frustrating but with some encouragement from the group, I pushed through and landed on a scheme that I think looks good. I'm still not 100% happy with it, but good enough.

First up is a unit of Repeating Crossbows, a Repeating Bolt Thrower, and an Assassin. I was also painting a single Dark Rider, but had to drop him to complete the challenge in time. I might have to drop the Dark Riders unit from my painting challenge army.

Here's the pics.

February's submission is on the painting table, Witch Elves and The Cauldron of Blood.

Old World Army Challenge 2

The Old World Army Challenge is back for a 2nd year. The premise remains the same, paint a 1000 point army in 6 months, 200 points a month. You can take one month off.

There are 39 challengers this year.

The first time I did Chaos. My point total in 4th Edition rules is 1375pts. I really need to get a better picture of them.

For OWAC2, I'm doing Dark Elves. Last summer I picked up an unpainted DE army pretty cheap. There is at least 2000 points of unpainted DE. but I'll paint about 1200-1300 points for this challenge.

Here we go. 2 War machines, 4 infantry units, 2 mounted, and 3 characters.

Weighted Bases, I do that for all my figures.

 Glued on metal base stands. Storage and movement tray will have magnetic sheets.

 Magnets on the bottom of base for Cauldron of Blood

 The Witch Elves handlers for the the Cauldron will stay on the base.

I'm late with this post. The first month January is already done and can be seen on the OWAC website.

I'll post up my January submission in a day or so.

Cheers Xin
