Force of the north

Ladies and Gentleman,

over the last few months I painted the new centrepiece and final step of my army: Malekith the Witchking on his Black Dragon.

I really love the Forge World Carmine Dragon. Using this mini for my collection was never in question.

But it took a little time to find out how to paint it und in the end I’m somewhat satisfied with the colorscheme.

I put the witchking in a bright, almost white armour. He sees himself as King of Ulthuan and of all elvenkind, so I wanted him to be clad in an old fashioned ulthuan-styled armour. I think he never cared about using black as an “evil colour” for his subjects. That is an issue he leaves for his mother and his noblemen to argue about.

The blue/brown banner completes the model as a part of my army.

So, nough said, hope you enjoy the pics.

Like many other minis from warhammer 40k the old Avatar of Khaine is a nice example for a model that can be used in a fantasy setting. When I first saw this miniature I knew I wanted him for my Dark Elves army though I didn’t know for what cause. I had ideas in mind to use him for a cauldron conversion, but somehow his pose was too dynamic just to stand behind a bowl of blood. When I got the mini some months ago I painted him for my chaos army to be used as a Demon prince on foot (because I needed one for a tournament). But this will not be his fate forever and I’m looking for a different use for him…

Welcome everybody!

This is my new blog about my Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves!

I want to take the release of the new Army Book in October 2013 as an occasion to share with you my passion for the miniatures and the fluff of my beloved Warhammer Army. This blog will contain my efforts in painting the models as well as battle reports including many German and international tournaments.

And last but not least this blog will serve as a platform for many many pics!

So enjoy this blog!
