Dark Woods Rising
« on: May 18, 2020, 01:21:09 PM »
Not posted anything for a good few years
Started a bit of a rolling Dark Woods/ Realms of Chaos themed project
Which is randomly evolving as it goes, mainly  through raiding the lockdown stash and usual “cut and shut” approach


Anyways, a few random shots...

Wonderful work on them all but the sea monster battle is a standout winner for me.

Phenomenal work. The sea monster(s) especially.

Yes!  More than a touch of the nightmare to these.  Very nicely done, if a little disturbing. :)

Terrific stuff! That disturbing dryad-serpent is the winner for me, but it's all great!

You've managed to create a really strong and consistent style to these, which as others have said is definitely nightmarish!
My armies:
- Henry VIII's army (WIP) 15mm
- Ancient Germans (28mm)
- Ancient Belgae (Gauls with German allies) (28mm)
- Massilian Greeks (Greeks and Gallic mercenaries/subjects) (28mm)
- A few EI Romans (28mm)
- Handful of WW2 British (15mm)
- A load of old 1993-1999ish Warhammer Orcs and Goblins

Thanks for the positive comments
Was hoping for a “stuff of nightmares” vibe, with an easily reproducible style to manage a whole army

Few of the Rank and File below
Need to come up with a centre piece monster/leader next

You certainly achieved that.
That last batch are superb re-imaginings of the spirits.
