Newly painted necromancer. Now my skeletons have someone to point them in the right direction. 
Not sure if it was the particular casting or if this model is sculpted that way, but the left eye was just a socket, so I tried to run with that and give it a missing eye treatment (red irritated empty socket), rather than try to paint in the missing eye.

Finished an orc chariot today. Fun to paint. It's the first time I've done wolves in quite a while and I'm pleased with how they turned out (which has me thinking about the foundry wolf riders that are hiding in the leadpile...) Also rather pleased with the rust and verdigris, I'm starting to feel like I've got those down.

Finished up my test models for my plague monks and skaven slaves today. The slave's shield is made from a bit of sheet styrene. I don't have enough old shields to fit out the unit, and I rather like the Idea that their shields are just a couple of planks nailed together.
@ Naagruz - Thanks! The skaven troops are the new plastics - my entry for the how to do oldhammer thread, I couldn't think of anything more accessible for someone starting out, and I had them on hand...

Busy painting week with more to come - As my loving wife is supporting me attending all 3 days of BOYL, I've decided to attempt to finish all of my wood elves prior to the event. The first week's effort follows - 15 wood elf spearmen.
I didn't do quite as much with the highlights as I might have in the interest of time, but I'm still quite pleased with the results
I attempted to vary the combinations of colors to create 15 individuals, sticking with fall colors, I used a muted key color for the majority of the models, with a few with brighter colors.
green & yellow ochre
burgundy & bright yellow

The effort to finish* the wood elf army for BOYL continues. Happy with the results, although I did have to compromise a bit on the hounds between removing mold lines and removing detail.
18 archers and 5 warhounds have moved into the finished column.
*No army is ever truly finished, only done for now...

I like the red on the spears! Not what you usually think of as a wood-elfy colour, but it really works.

The red on the Elves is great, nice idea to seperate from the more usual browns.

I was a bit worried about the red, but pleased with the results....I haven't been able to bring myself to risk an orange, though.
Standards and Musicians finished in preparation for BOYL, and an Animal handler for the hounds (I know, not the "right" one, but done and painted counts for something too)

For me wood elves have always had something of Robin Hood about them o a nice bright red by wy of Will Scarlet is always a must. Loving your woodies Jeff, really nice looking classic force. Your going to need some cavalry and chariots now.
Oh and super Orc dog cart, I can really see that man catcher in action.

Thanks guys.
I've finished the last of the "must complete" models for BOYL; 3000 Points painted (about 2000 rank and file)
3 Wardancers
and 3 Lord's bowmen to get me to the minimum unit size of 10. The one with the helmet will be the unit champion.
