    I have no idea what to choose or play for WHFB Wood Elves (never played the game), but I do enjoy your painting tutorials. Keep them coming!

      I wanted skaven before I saw the new treemen. I also like dark elves but I want to paint a more vibrant color army and I have my evil chaos space marines army in 40k already. I think wood elves look great

    Really liking your Wood Elfs mate. I'm a big fan of the Elven armies and would highly recommend them to anyone, keep up the good work.

    Am I the only person who prefers these models afer the wash steps (i.e. before the highlighting)? - 6:07
    They look a lot more rustic and organic at that point, IMHO

    I've never done artistry like this (miniatures or painting thereof), but you make it look so easy. total respect to your craft!

    With Warhammer The Old World releasing soon, have you thought about doing more of your awesome wood elf videos? I'd love to see you do a darker wood elf, more of an ambush archer in a tone darker. Also I'd love to see you combine the classic greens of wood elves with the colour blue.

    I have to say thanks for the Army Painter brush suggestion I've seen on several videos - I ended up buying some and they've got a good price, keep a good tip, and I like how they're triangle shaped so they don't roll away.

    @Stevewren007 10 років тому

    Cracking video. Really like the scheme you have chosen and hope to see more. In terms of models to buy just pick what you like, or just get 100 glade guard. That always works as a solid core :)

  • @SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet
    @SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet 10 років тому

    I'm new to Warhammer in general, and Wood Elves are the army that I'm going to be going for. I don't know if they are any good on the tabletop, but I really love the diversity of their models and the uses of colour that the pros are able to use. I think a good artist could have loads of fun with them, experimenting with different seasons to give totally different looks etc. Personal taste is always subjective though, but if you like them then I think you should go for it! (PS. More Wood Elf tutorials would be great, I'm not plagiarising I'm just... Taking inspiration! :3)

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Yeah, out of all of the fantasy armies is the one that called to me aesthetically from a art possibilities point of view. although chaos did too because it's chaos. But I have a bunch of boxes of wood elves already waiting for me to start but because I don't have much space or foam yet to store them I am waiting a little bit while I paint my Chaos army. I think I can make tutorials on the different units because they are very different in color selections and would be worthwhile, while 40k armies for instance pretty much use the same colors throughout the army and if I do more than one tutorial about them I would end up repeating myself too much. Thanks for the comment mate I will definitely make some more wood elf tutorials soon :)

    • @SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet
      @SuperCosmicSpaceMagnet 10 років тому

      TheApatheticFish I'm just amazed that you took the time to read the comment. I'm sure it'll all become apparent eventually, but I'd love to see what you do with the treeman/dryad units. Would be neat to see a tutorial video about them that didn't involve an airbrush. :P

  • @cjrcreations
    @cjrcreations 10 років тому

    Fantastic tutorial. I will be trying your techniques and suggestions this week as I start me WE army.
    If you are looking for suggestions, I'd love to see how you would paint WE Rangers and/or how you would differentiate between glade guard, scouts, waywatchers, and the waywatcher hero without losing the armies colour theme.

  • @Cabilis66
    @Cabilis66 10 років тому +1

    Great work ! I really liked this tutorial.
    If you want to collect wood elves, the first step would be getting their army book. Wood elves are really awesome now in this book. I would aim for assembling a 500 point army to begin with , then adding on that. In my opinion, they are the best of the 3 type of elves in WHFB.

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому +1

      Yeah, I agree I should do some reading first. I was kinda excited for the wood elves release even though I don't know much about the game. I like dark elves too but I'm the bad guy already in 40k lol. Thanks for the help!

    • @Cabilis66
      @Cabilis66 10 років тому

  • @michaelstrang8544
    @michaelstrang8544 10 років тому

    Wood elves are kinda hard to start out playing in fantasy, but very fun once you master them! My army is very dryad orientated but really glade riders and glade guard are really all you need. A tree man is a great starting warlord and so is orion but that's my preference

    @TheObliviJohn 10 років тому

    Don't get dryads is the best tip for a new player. You can make an easy to play shooty list that flees. Or a hard to play blitzkrieg list with all the new quick combat units like wildriders and warhawk riders and the like.

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Thanks mate! Its a bit late though, I already have two boxes of dryads, they were 55% off so I couldn't resist. apparently no one wants them xD can they still be viable? cant they become good if you cast some spells on them or something? Thanks for the comment :)

  • @Ireth_painting
    @Ireth_painting 10 років тому

    I dunno if it's bc i love wood elves but, i loves this tutorial!! The miniature came out really really well.
    There are not too many fantasy painting tutorials (compared to 40K) so i hope u do some of these again, really inspiring mate.
    PD: If u want to collect Wood Elves to play them a nice start would be... another box of those Eternal guard, u can make a block of 20 (5x4) to have a defensive option...and ofc you will have to get some Glade Guard (because wood elves are based on light shooting basically).
    For your ""HQ"" i would take a look to the spellsingers and the waystalkers (awesome models and good ones in terms of play). The new box of stag raiders, both options are competitive (either wild hunters or sisters) and finally Eagles and Waywatchers again are both excellent options.
    Maybe you can start from there, starting with Glade Guard and Eeternal Guard (even glade riders if u like them), then the Heroes and Commander, and after that aim for the most you like.
    PD: I'm spanish so if u dont understand well what i tried to say, i apologize XD. Me not talk Engrish well x-x

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Yo hablo español pero latino. I think you gave me a pretty good Idea on how to start. My problem was that I dont know how big are the formations usually. I think I should start by getting the book. How big would the glade guard have to be? I want them and some treemen, maybe durthu or an ancient. Thanks for the help :)

    • @Ireth_painting
      @Ireth_painting 10 років тому

      TheApatheticFish
      I would play them as small units of 10 (5x2) up to 18~20. If you have some questions about units or the army don't hesitate on asking. Gracias a ti por los videos !!

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Ithlinne Suena bien, creo que me compraré una caja más de Glade guard y un treeman para empezar, pero trataré de leer lo mas que pueda mientras ahorro algo de dinero. y puedo ir pintando mis Eternal guard también. mi problema es ahora como organizar mi tiempo entre Chaos, WH Fantasy, warmacihne y mis videos en youtube. Ojalá este fuera mi trabajo de tiempo completo :p

    I think you need to start off at a not so large army, but with one that has different models. As it is now, I'm not the best Fantasy player, but have played Wood Elves for quite some time. With all the models that are out there, I would start with something like:
    Spellsinger
    Glade Guard
    Eternal Guard
    Wild Riders (awesome models)
    Waywatchers
    Out of this you can make a competitive list for low point games.
    Btw, loved the tutorial, I just bought some Eternal Guard a few days ago, and will surely be using This tutorial.

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Are treemen good? I want to get at least a couple. not sure if I'm going to go for durthu or an ancient or just regular treemen. I'd have to read to know what I like best. I'm thinking for now a couple of squads of glade guard, a 20 man unit of eternal guard. some character probably the spellsinger and maybe some treemen? I haven't read anything yet though but I'll take a look on the wild riders and waywatchers. thanks for the help and the comment :)

    • @Labais7
      @Labais7 10 років тому

      TheApatheticFish Treemen are really awesome, but you can't use them in low point games since rare units and lords/heroes only are allowed to occupy 25% of your army. I myself have been running this list:
      Spellsinger (spellweaver??) W/ level 2, asrai longbow, lore of shadow
      12 Glade Guard
      20 Eternal Guard
      5 Wild Riders
      5 Waywatchers
      It's a really good list, Spellweaver/Spellsinger (can't remember) hangs out with glade guard at the back and rebuffs targets.
      PM me If you want to know more, not that I know more than all the other people that have written to you ;)

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      Labais7 Seems pretty straight forward. I think I will follow your template and expand from there. How many points are those. I have a treeman already. I wanted to make it an ancient. But Im not sure. Durthu seems way expensive but very aggresive. The ancient looks like a great support character

    • @Labais7
      @Labais7 10 років тому

      TheApatheticFish Sorry about the late answer. I don't have the codex around right now, but the Treeman is about 250, and the Treeman Ancient is about 300, Durthu is a really nice Lord and can do lots of damage. So if you'd want a Treeman, then either go for a 1000 point army, or a 1250 point army. You can PM me if you want.
      Regards

  • @manwe1
    @manwe1 10 років тому +2

    need to use wood elves.
    as heroes.
    Spellweaver few points 1 for 2 for bigger armies points.
    (Always be a leader of the army that the Elves are a magical race with shadow magic)
    Waywatcher Lord for sniper.
    common.
    Glade Guard base your army soldiers will be your most used and many of the game.
    special.
    Wild Riders is always very good use in game.
    Sisters of the Thorn. are not bad a good option.
    rare.
    Waywatchers. the best scouts warhammer you just said that.
    Treeman. very good always takes 1 or 2.

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому +1

      yeah, pretty much. they're still a good range but its a little bit harder to use. and because my tutorials are for helping others I am trying to keep things simple. although using liquid gold on this miniature would look pretty cool. I would encourage using it if you can.

    • @jakergs
      @jakergs 10 років тому

      I also just wanted to say thank you....your tutorials really made me feel like I could paint a "good" looking model and I'm pleased with the results in my chaos armies. One question though, I noticed that with the liquid gold color "old gold' it isn't as bright of a gold color on the black legion...any suggestions?

    How much do you thin your paints down? I try to thin mine but they never come out as smooth as that

    • @TheApatheticFish
      @TheApatheticFish  10 років тому

      I thin them about 50/50 or 1:1 is the same thing. some paints are diffferent than others. just try to not use them straight from the pot. I would suggest just finding the right amount that feels good for you. and try not to move the color around once it's on the miniature drying. because it can be the case that you tear drying layers of paints and create crumbs and brush strokes. if your first layer doesn't cover well is totally fine, let it dry and apply a second one. If you tamper with it while it's drying you will break that layer
