<p>First lets start by explaining why I have started a blog.</p><p>I am a chap who enjoys painting, and looks for games as an excuse to paint. Don't get me wrong, I love playing games, but I love painting more!</p><p>The purpose of this blog is to encourage me to complete one of the many projects that I have started.</p><p><img title="P1000317.JPG" height="285" alt="P1000317.JPG" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=3615622" width="402" border="0" /></p><p>I started a wood elf army in the summer of 2006 and managed to paint a Treeman and a unit of Dryads. The Treeman especially took far longer than expected and I managed to get distracted. I have since been playing Flames of War, and whilst I have had great fun painting and playing a Italian 15mm army, I had abandoned the warhammer game.</p><p>I have now decided to finish the Wood Elves, but need to mark this commitment with a blog, otherwise I will get distracted again and will never finish the blighter.</p><p>Rules for the wood elves:</p><p>1) Each figure to be as good as I can get it.</p><p>2) Autumn theme</p><p>3) Natural colours as much as possible</p><p>4) No metal anywhere. i.e. wood swords etc.</p><p>I have assembled and part painted 8 glade guard to date, but I am not very happy with the way they look.</p><p>Photos are included in the folder. Comments are welcome.</p><p> </p>
Friday going slow so I started a blog.

I like the make up on these ladies. I think I might have to nick your idea for my Glade Guard, right now it takes a few seconds to figure out which one are men and which one are women. With Elves it's pretty had to tell unless you put some lipstick and/or eyeshadow on there. I really like this army, it encourages me to keep working on mine. Right now it's maybe 20 models away from being playable at the 1000-2000 point level. Just need to finish my Core units
