Some Heroes lost in the Woods

 

On October 8th, I posted another poll on what to paint next. The results were as follows:

1st: High Elf Mage

2nd: Ogre (warrior not monster)

3rd, 4th, & 5th: Norscan Berserker,  Kislevite Shaman (Crow), & Treeman (Summon)

6th, 7th, & 8th: Kislevite Shaman (Wolf), Dryads (Summons), and Faerie (Summon). 

 

High Elf Mage. This model is the older model for Teclis and I found the STL on telegram.

Norscan Berserker. Not sure where this class originates, GW supplement? Fan Made? no clue. But we have it as one of our 30 finished Warrior Classes for Black Hills Warhammer Quest. As far as I know there was never an official model. So I spent time digging, I wanted something that was GW if possible and was distinct from the Barbarian model. The model I ended up choosing is from a current GW product, Darkaoth Savage Warcry Warband. I liked the one wielding a 2 handed axe. I was able to find the whole group as STLs on telegram.

 Kislevite Shaman, comes in two versions, a combat wizard (wolf) or more full wizard with more powerful casting abilities (Crow). When GW released the supplemental rules for this class, they didn't make new models, they just repurposed some existing Empire Wizards. Amber Wizard for Wolf, and Grey Wizard for Crow. I found both STLs for these old school empire wizards on Telegram.

Shaman (Crow) Paint:

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold" & "Ironebreaker" Silver both /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Ironebreaker" Silver  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair Braids:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Polar Bear Furs:  "Corax White" dry brushed with "White Scar"

When our group (Black Hills Warhammer Quest) re-wrote the rules, we made a ton of changes. I don't really even know how the original Druid worked. I'm pretty sure we added summoning that it didn't have. If it summons monsters, it unsummons any it currently has. So at most it can have one Faerie, or it can have up to 4 Dryads, or it can have a Treeman. Each summon is a different spell that must be learned in the same way as other spells, and each has its own power cost. Summon Treeman is limited to once per adventure. Like NPCs, if a summon reaches 0 wounds it dies instantly, no chance to heal it from zero before its gone. 

Treeman got the most votes of the Druid Summons, so lets show him off first. This is one of two generic Treeman models from years long past. I found this STL on Telegram.

Treeman Paint:

Light Wood: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Dark Wood: "Catachan Flesh" by brushed over with mix (50/50 Catachan Flesh & White Scar")

Birch (or paper) Tree Wood: "Corax White" /w "Soulblight Grey" wash

Green Bark:  "Warpstone Glow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Teeth & Claws:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Foliage: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Moot Green and White Scar")

Armpit Mushrooms: "Emporer's Children" Pink  /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash" then dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Emperor's Children Pink and White Scar)

Mouth, Eyes, & Nose: "Black Templar" Wash
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dryads for Druid Summons. These are the old school "log" dryads instead of the newer "twig" dryads that are a lot skinnier. These were again found on Telegram.

Dryad Paint:

Light Wood: "XV-88" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Dark Wood: "Catachan Flesh" by brushed over with mix (50/50 Catachan Flesh & White Scar")

Teeth & Claws:  "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" wash

Foliage: "Moot Green" dry brushed over with mix (50/50 Moot Green and White Scar")

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Faerie for Druid summons. I figured at first I would have to leave GW to find a small Faerie STL. The issue here is I found none. Nothing that would work. Then I remembered the old school "Ariel, Mage Queen of Loren" model. With some work, I could make her work. First I removed the staff and closed that hand. Then I put her aloft on a stand like I did with the Giant Bats. Then printed it. This didn't work. I had made her about half the size of the model pictured below and it printed poorly. So I went back in, increased the size of the whole model, then increased the arms, head, and hair by about 30% more. This printed much better. Again Telegram helped me find this STL. (Elf in pictures for scale only)

Faerie Paint:

Skin: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

Metal Bitz: "Gehenna's Gold"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash

Hair Braids:  "Flash Gitz Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade Wash"

Cloak: "Warpstone Glow" (Slap-chopped over Scar White)

Wings: Mostly covered with "Slayer Orange" then added "Mephiston Red" & "Sotek Green" spots. Then used "Abaddon Black" to define edges. Lastly added tiny dots of  "White Scar".

Stand: "Aboddon Black" 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now that we have all the  Druid Summons, lets see them together with their summoner.

 

This puts me to 24 of our 30 Warrior classes painted. The other 6 still need 3D printed first. So lets do a group picture!

Back row: Kislevite Shaman, Norscan Berserker, High Elf Mage, Ogre
Next row: Lord of Anerion, Bounty Hunter, Druid, Swashbuckler
Next row: Outlaw, War Dancer, Warrior Priest, Chaos Warrior, Elf Bard
Next row: Bretonian Knight, Dwarf Slayer, Pit Fighter, Witch Hunter, Imperial Noble
Front row: Dwarf Brewmaster, Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf, Wizard, Halfling Thief

I have 5 Summons for the Shaman to paint, 2 Wereforms for the Shaman to paint (missing 3rd Wereform), 4 Chaos Warrior with marks to paint, & 3 Amazon companions to paint. This makes for a total of 14 models I can paint, before catching up to all models I have printed so far.

 

The six classes I need to print off are: Amazon, Assassin, Chainsaw Warrior, Dwarf Runesmith, Ex-BloodBowl Player, & Elf Ranger.

 

I'm up to 31 Warriors & Pals painted, 45 are 3D printed of the 72 needed as of 10/27/25. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.
