Proud owner of this chap in pewter. Bought him in 2005, painted him up, and parked him with a unit of 20 pewter eternal guard. Can’t wait to return to the Old World. Great content!
I used him as an alter kindred with helm o hunt and great weapon in 7th taking out war machines and assassinating mages 18" charge A5 WS7 S6 striking first So fun
Finecast wouldn’t have been an issue if they kept on top of the quality control issues. It’s clear that so many moulds needed redone, Dol Amroth pikemen almost always come without faces, I just greenstuffed goatees on to hide the hideous casts (but a similarly defective free replacement from GW didn’t go amiss). If you get a good cast of finecast then I prefer it over metal but those are rare! That all being said I think working with finecast has helped me become a better hobbyist.
Looks fantastic. This is one of my favourites: Greatsword, Alter Kindred and Amber Pendant, Helm of the Hunt combine to allow him to run freely around the board murdering smaller units by himself. Obviously, this fun ended in 8th edition because the enemy could always attack back and we're usually stubborn.
I saw the silhouette ans almost screamed!! I have this exact mini, got it from my flgs as a preowned mini the only flaw he had (besides fince cast lol) was his weapon was broken from his hand and it was an easy fix with super glue and now he awaits for the day he will be painted. Which now that this video exists I have some inspiration to paint him Great video as always Andy very happy to see this one especially
Nice and crisp paint job, This has always been one of my fave WE models sitting unpainted for the same reasons. Good to see fincecast wasn't THAT bad in the end, I still have loads in blisters.
Wood Elves were my main Warhammer Fantasy army and the only one I've kept over the years. I loved this model so much I have three of them in metal. One of them I converted into Drizzt Do'Urden to be my leader
This looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks for all of your videos, giving hope to us mere hobby mortals. I was lucky enough to be given some wood elves a while back and this might get them painted soon
OK, now I want to get him done myself. Like you he's been one model I'd love to paint. Think a small Wood Elf alliance to a Bretonnian force would be very fitting. Might even dabble in Beastmen which is one army I've never touched. Tomb Kings, Ogres, Orcs & Goblins, Warriors of Chaos, Dwarf's, and Lizardmen are the others.
@MediocreHobbies too true. They're all good. I'd be tempted with Dark Elves as they were my first faction, but I could never get them to play well for me.
welfs are the dwarves of the elves: hate tresspassers society centered around one resource artisans are the casters hate high elves famous for their marksmanship elite borderguard
I really appreciate you making this video. I love the Wood Elves in TW: Warhammer and IU plan to play them in the Old World so this is a great reference guide. Any suggestions for colors for an Autumn color scheme?
I have an old metal version of him in a box somewhere! I wasn't that hyped for Old World if I'm honest but seeing this painted mini has really brought me back to my old fantasy armies and I think I'll give it a go!
I always liked this mini, so many I liked and never painted because I also like you said I wouldn’t work with finecast, such a shame really, but looks like you got a decent one there so congratulations for adding him to your collection finally 🙂
Gonna have to dust off all my dwarfs I had for warhammer 8th edition, plus a ton of empire that I never painted before a single swordsman. there's just soooo many lol.
@@MediocreHobbies I have a full Wood Elf army from 8th in a similar state to your Beasts of Chaos, think I sprayed them Army Painter brown, was going for an autumnal theme. Need to get them rebase and on the table.
Hey Andy, I hope you are doing well, I am sorry to bother you, but I have a question about something I have been struggling with. How do you apply paint to the brush when dry brushing? I always end up getting way too much or none at all. Thank you and I hope you have a great day
@@MediocreHobbies you’re super kind. I don’t want you to have to go to all that effort though. I really appreciate you and all your vids. They have helped me become a much better painter
Awesome job! Not found a faction that hits home yet for old world. Currently doing gloomspite for AoS. Dwarfs would have been cool but I think they said they would not be a main faction
Proud owner of this chap in pewter. Bought him in 2005, painted him up, and parked him with a unit of 20 pewter eternal guard. Can’t wait to return to the Old World. Great content!
So jealous.
He looks so amazing in a unit of metal eternal guard with all their weapons pointing in different directions.
I used him as an alter kindred with helm o hunt and great weapon in 7th taking out war machines and assassinating mages
18" charge A5 WS7 S6 striking first
So fun
Yes I bought this model back in the day. All painted up and part of the collection.
Awesome!
I agree. This dude is a combination of wild and majestic. Add to that your painting and it's even better.
Aw you’re going to make me blush 😂

He is such a great piece.
lovely model i remember trying to paint it when it came out...didnt do very well....yours is amazing a nice trip down memory lane
I’m sure it was better than you remember! Cheers Glyn and have a lovely Christmas!
Outstanding work
Thank you pal
My all-time favourite Warhammer mini, thank you for painting it up!!
Glad you liked it!
Absolutely outstanding!
Aw cheers man

Ah yes pal. Get him painted.
Nice and crisp paint job, This has always been one of my fave WE models sitting unpainted for the same reasons. Good to see fincecast wasn't THAT bad in the end, I still have loads in blisters.
Yeah once you know it’s different to work with, it’s not that bad at all! Thanks man
Wood Elves were my main Warhammer Fantasy army and the only one I've kept over the years. I loved this model so much I have three of them in metal. One of them I converted into Drizzt Do'Urden to be my leader
Aww that’s so cool, very jealous!
Yes this is the best model from the old world
Yup
This looks absolutely fantastic. Thanks for all of your videos, giving hope to us mere hobby mortals. I was lucky enough to be given some wood elves a while back and this might get them painted soon
Aw thanks for that! And yes please do, they deserve to be shown off properly!
I loved this model and recently sold my metal version of it. I used to use it as a vampire lord in my old vampire counts army.
Crazy man selling a model that nice.
OK, now I want to get him done myself. Like you he's been one model I'd love to paint. Think a small Wood Elf alliance to a Bretonnian force would be very fitting.

I’m leaning towards beastmen as well! Possibly bretonnians for a campaign but beastmen as well! There’s no bad choice!
@MediocreHobbies too true. They're all good. I'd be tempted with Dark Elves as they were my first faction, but I could never get them to play well for me.
Wood Elves & Dwarves was always my favorite
Solid old school choices. Nothing wrong with that.
welfs are the dwarves of the elves:
hate tresspassers
society centered around one resource
artisans are the casters
hate high elves
famous for their marksmanship elite borderguard
Yes. Like really amazing. Bought it twice, so I could have one in a small diorama and another one to play
Ok that’s a great idea, he is so cool!
Ha! that's my favouite fantasy model
Hahah you sir have got good taste.
I really appreciate you making this video. I love the Wood Elves in TW: Warhammer and IU plan to play them in the Old World so this is a great reference guide. Any suggestions for colors for an Autumn color scheme?
I think I mite do an autumn model at some point. I think it will be fun to try and learn how to do it. I shall make it a video if I do.
I have an old metal version of him in a box somewhere! I wasn't that hyped for Old World if I'm honest but seeing this painted mini has really brought me back to my old fantasy armies and I think I'll give it a go!
You can just pick out some models without fully committing to the new game and see how you feel! Just work through the backlog anyway 😄
Turned out great! 🔥
Cheers pal.
I always liked this mini, so many I liked and never painted because I also like you said I wouldn’t work with finecast, such a shame really, but looks like you got a decent one there so congratulations for adding him to your collection finally 🙂
Nice pal. Dig it out and get stuck in.
Very excited for Old World, since I have no experience with those models
It’s going to be a really cool mix of nostalgia and bringing in new people, can’t wait for it!
I am looking forward to wood elves for old World and to use in Warlords of Erehwon and Dragon Rampant!
Yes! They’re such a cool army!
Gonna have to dust off all my dwarfs I had for warhammer 8th edition, plus a ton of empire that I never painted before a single swordsman. there's just soooo many lol.
Yes start getting them out now so you’ll be ready for the launch!
Looks really good. I always wanted to do wood elves and think they’ll be my first hit of old world. Then it’s boar boys time.
Oo yeah that would be a great first army!
Great job on the Wood Elf, have you done High Elves
Not yet….. soon
@@MediocreHobbies Nice
Cracking mini
He is a great sculpt.

Hmmm it’s hard to explain in text. I’m gonna have to make a video for you I think.

Dwarven mountain holds are on the main list for launch!
I love gloomspite gitz though, can never paint enough of those guys!
Cool Vid! What happened to your finger man? Hope all is good
It got crushed between a wall and something heavy.
How’s the hand holding up
Emmmmm it’s ok ish.
a plastic rescuplt of that would look soooooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
🤞we get something like it for the wood elves release!
Best is still the Twins on Forest Dragon
Oooo maybe yes!
8! Factions????!??
Hahaha yeah..you’d be surprised what comes out when recording 😂
Oh sorry, im not being rude. Thats just a maths joke😅 8! Means 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 x4 x 3 x 2 x 1
