Wood Elves Release!

A long time went by, it felt like a century, but time of waiting has come to an end – after 9 years Games Workshop released the new Wood Elves army book and some new kits/units. With this release of course the Cherry Blossom Grove will be extended. I can´t wait to assamble and paint the new units and command them on the battlefield.
As for the start I ordered the new book, magic cards, three boxes of Wildwood Rangers, two boxes of Sisters of Thorn and a Lord of the Wood Elves called Araloth.

The Wildwood Rangers are the models I have been looking for a long time. They perfectly fill in the roll of beeing the multi-unit with the two-handed sword of the Cherry Blossom Grove: for the Wood Elves I ´m obviously play them as Wildwood Rangers and for the High Elves they are played as White Lions.
The regiment base are completed with lots of forest bases of Microart-Studio including two 40mm mulitbases which I like very much because they bring so much more "Forestfeeling" to the unit and also makes the unit looking far more dynamic.

Assambled the unit looks like so:

I´m really looking forward to paint these guys!

My Top 10 miniature painting artists!

In this article, I would like to share with you, my 10 favorite miniature painters. Since ages, I am following the work of various amazing artists all over the world and draw so much inspiration from them! It is a beauty how the painting community grows together through the internet and everybody has the chance to look over the shoulders of those incredibly talented individuals.

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove is marching to war. I recently finished 3 trees (Treeman Ancient, ordinary Treeman, and the Spirit of Durthu) for the army and now the force is nearly finished. The foundation of the Cherry Blossom Grove lies in the Old Days of Warhammer where the majority of the army consisted of Wood Elves ( Link to an old blog article from 2014 ). Since then a lot of new miniatures have been painted and added to the army and I still plan to extend the Cherry Blossom Grove further in the next couple of months and years. Painting Alarielle of course and some more Kurnoth Hunters and even thinking about a Living City detachment of the Cities of Sigmar battletome. The Sylvaneth treemen of the Cherry Blossom Grove: I converted them a little bit by extending their legs for 1-2 inches to make them taller and put some branches of the old Citadel Forest on their shoulders and backs to make them bigger.

Starting a Tyranid army: Colorscheme

I've been a miniature hobbyist for over 10 years and have played a lot of different games (Warhammer Fantasy, Infinity, Frostgrave, Malifaux, Kings of War, etc.) but still hunger for more. In my gaming group, my friends convinced me to take a look at the Warhammer 40k lore. After reading a dozen books (Horus Heresy!) and pretty much got sucked into the crazy 40k lore, I decided to get into Warhammer 40.000. As for my first 40k army choice, I was torn between the Childs of Slaanesh and Tyranids. Really love both design and lore of these 2 armies. Finally, I went with Tyranids because they are easy to paint and I wanted to get more into the lore before heavily converting some Slaanesh forces. Also, there are some stunning non-GW Tyranid designs out there (check out this Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/artbyhalfpint/ ) and I was very curious how these models would turn out. To say it upfront: These 3D printed resin miniatures have some amazing details and very high quali
