This blog is about my hobby: collecting and painting miniatures (mainly fantasy) and playing epic Warhammer battles (mainly 3rd edition). The blog's name is a contraction of Old Metal (lead miniatures referring to Oldhammer) and the famous song 'Metal Militia' from Metallica (yes, I'm a great fan of Metal music).
A second dragon joins my Wood Elf army (I have already painted the Dragon Master some time ago, in green). I decided that this one would be blue. 😁
It's a rather small dragon or it looks small because it doesn't spread its wings. I think it's a Tom Meier's dragon, but not sure. The rider is a Marauder Miniature (it seems).
Here they are, the Wood Riders, ready to riddle the enemy of their kin with arrows.
Now I have 20 of them painted.
Actually at the same time I was painting the Elven Lords, I was also painting the wizards (and the Wood Riders and the Dragon, these will be shown in the next posts).
I have started with all horses (26 in total). And once they were completed, I've painted the riders.
These three wizards are really nice miniatures, from the elven master Jes Goodwin of course. It was a pleasure to paint them.
Long time no post... But for a good reason. I recently dived into the fantastic world of Baldur's Gate 3. Long time ago, I played Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 and these games were already excellent at that time. And the last one is just amazing, so many possibilities, a real RPG. Certainly the best game I have ever played. But it is time consuming, it took me between 180 and 200 hours to finish the game.
Then I went back to my painting table and started painting a new batch of Wood Elves, with the intent to complete my WE army by the end of the year. The first ones are Elven Lords.
"The lords of Elven communities and their noble retainers ride magnificent warhorses into battle. Wood Elves favour roan and dappled horses, plaiting their mains and ornamenting their bridles with hair plumes and jewels."
