After months of crafting, painting, and assembling, my latest Fantasy Terrain project is finally complete! This new battlefield is a lush and immersive realm, perfect for my Sylvaneth   army, The Cherry Blossom Grove , in Warhammer Age of Sigmar . Creating a Fantasy Tabletop Board for Age of Sigmar For this project, my goal was to build a fully painted wargaming table representing the Realm of Life (Ghyran). I wanted the terrain to feel overgrown and ancient. Key features of this gaming board include modular ruins reclaimed by nature, and dense scatter terrain. The color palette mixes lush greens to contrast with the dark stone of the ruins, providing a cinematic backdrop for Warhammer Age of Sigmar battles. Creating this terrain has been a labor of love. I focused on overgrown ruins, towering trees, mystical terrain, and intricate pathways to bring the magic of the Sylvaneth to life.  Showcase: The Sylvaneth "Cherry Blossom Grove" Army I took the opportunity to do a Syl...

I've recently expanded my Warhammer Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth army - with Belthanos First Thorn of Kurnoth . I've always been a big fan of the Lore of Kurnoth.  Kurnoth was a hunter god who represented nature's wildness and hunger and one of the survivors of the World-That-Was. In the World-That-Was Kurnoth led the so-called Wild Hunt through his avatar Orion. Kurnoth would use an elf prince sacrificed by the Asrai as a vessel to walk among mortals. The Wild Hunt is called upon by those who are enemies of the Asrai and the forest. In Age of Sigmar with the appearance of Belthanos, he leads the eternal hunt that keeps his master Kurnoth’s spirit in bloom. I painted this amazing new mini for my Cherry Blossom Grove Sylvaneth army. Hope you like it!

In the last couple of weeks, I was finally able to paint the last two units to complete my Warhammer Age of Sigmar Sylvaneth army. I took some pictures of the army in my showcase: Showcase of the completed Sylvaneth army Details of the two added units: Tree Revenants Revenant Seekers / Dragonspite Lancers I really like the aesthetic of the army as well the playstyle on the battlefield. Talking about battlefields, creating Warhammer Age of Sigmar terrain for an awesome battlefield setup will be one of my main projects in 2023. 

The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove – A Growing Force The Sylvaneth of the Cherry Blossom Grove are marching to war! Recently, I completed three towering tree spirits —a Treeman Ancient, an ordinary Treeman, and the Spirit of Durthu —bringing my army close to completion. This army has deep roots, dating back to the Old Days of Warhammer , when it was primarily made up of Wood Elves . (Check out my [2014 blog post] for the original army!) Over the years, I have expanded and refined the Cherry Blossom Grove, adding numerous new miniatures while staying true to its original theme. And the journey is far from over! In the coming months and years, I plan to continue expanding the Cherry Blossom Grove , with some exciting additions on the horizon. Alarielle, the Everqueen , will take her rightful place at the heart of the force, and more Kurnoth Hunters will reinforce the ranks. I’m also considering a Living City detachment from the Cities of Sigmar Battletome , blending Sylvane...

I have finally finished the first batch (11) of my Wood Elves Wildwood Rangers of the Cherry Blossom Grove . Although they are fun models to paint, a unit of 30 models is always a pain, especially when you need to hurry because of coming tournaments.

Hi all, today I present you my Wood Elves Warhawk Riders. The old metal Games Workshop miniatures have never been my favourites. Therefore I made some conversions. It was really difficult to position the models next to each other, these eagle wings are enormous! Hope you like them.

Just finished a mounted Wood Elves Glade Lord. Hope you like it!

Hi all, there´s only a quick update on the coming projects on GOLDMUNDS WELT.  Because I more and more enjoy the fluffy side of Warhammer Fantasy these days (End Times, Storm of Magic, Montrous Arcanum) and also like to experiment a lot with new Basedesigns, I´m going to start a heck of new projects the coming weeks/months: Also the pic is some weeks old and some of the miniatures already have seen colour, it will give you a good overview of what to come. After watching Painting Buddahs  DVD-Tutorial  about creating Bases (Season 1.3 - Base Alchemy 1: Earth mit Ben Komets und Matt Cexwish) I tried to create something challenging on my own and came up with this: It´s the Curs´d Ettin from Warhammer Forge. The Idea behind building this scenary base: The Ettin stalks the deep forest for prey. Suddenly he picks up the scent of Elf Flesh and the hunt begins. After nearly an hour of chasing, the prey - a wardancer of Athel Loren - founds himself un...

In the new Warhammer Wood Elves book, there are several units which are, in my humble opinion, a must-have in every Wood Elves army, in terms of Fluff as well in terms of options and playing strength. One of these units is the Forest Stalkers of Athel Loren, the Waywatchers. The Waywatcher selection is perhaps the best thing in the Wood Elf army book, head-to-head with the Wild Riders. They are silent sentinels, forest stalkers, hidden assassins that annihilate enemies of Athel Loren without mercy. They are guardians of the pathways which lead to and traverse the forest and are able to hide for days on end before springing into action to slay a startled foe.

It´s been a while since my last post but I haven´t been lazy and finished some projects. Unfortunately, I wasn´t able to take appropriate pictures because my photo backgrounds clashed with a cup of coffee and couldn´t be used afterwards. Up to this time, I used the nice photo backgrounds from Massive Vodoo .

Hi folks, right now I´m painting my Wood Elves Dragon and show you some work in progress pics. The model is from Warhammer Forge . I fell in love with this model on first sight and had to use it! Hope you like it so far. There are going to be more contrast on the colours and the rider is going to be the new Wood Elves Lord plastik kit . Really looking forward to paint and finish him soon.

The second Spellweaver on horse made it into my Wood Elves army. He is a conversion of an old model of the Wild Hunt. I painted the horse black to create some contrast to the light colours and also because he is mainly using Dark Magic and Shadow Magic. Hope you like him. Cheers, Goldmund

Hi guys, no update on stuff I´m working on right now, but I wanna show you some more miniatures of my Wood Elves army: The Cherry Blossom Grove. Cheerio!
