I guessed as much, as someone who is a far better painter than photographer myself, I have also endured the same issues..

It's such a pain isn't it?! I must rig up a lightbox or something to help.

Here are some hopefully better daytime pics:

Treewoman


WIP Team


Three more players to paint - 1 Catcher, 1 Thrower, 1 Lineman, but overall including coaching staff and 'reserves' I'll end up with nearer 30 models!

much better, she no longer resembles a Hajime Soriyama painting!

kudos on trying a birch by the way, much nicer end result than just browns...

I'm mightily impressed withthe treewoman, great figure. I also like the fact your mixing various types of miniatures to create an individual feel to the team.

Keep up the good work.

Great looking team, I love the mix of models and the subtle conversion work, and the Treewoman mini is a great find.

Thanks all! I think the dryad model has got to be one of my favourite models ever - it was great to paint, and is beautifully sculpted. It's just a shame the bulk of the Enigma range is out of scale (30mm or 54mm) for anything else - there's a great Elf blacksmith I fancied using, but he's huge:



I plan to have a focused effort next week at completing a playable painted team!

Woo hoo! The perfect treeman for my all dryad woodies! Thanks for posting

Good work on the painting too

[axiom]

Woo hoo! The perfect treeman for my all dryad woodies!

Definitely - the perfect addition to any dryad team Plus with different head options you could even have a couple for variety!

I had a big push (well, a few hours of painting) this week and produced two more player - a Thrower and another Lineman. I now have a full 11 players (unfortunately it's not a legal starting list!). So this weekend the plan is to paint up the final Catcher and some more coaching staff, and I'll have a fully painted team.

Anyway, here's the latest additions:

[axiom]

Hooray - finally after nearly 18 months I have a painted, playable 11-man team (plus a Treewoman and some coaches). My starting 11 comprises:

1 Wardancer
3 Catchers
1 Thrower
6 Linemen
2 RR

And here are the Menryllion Whiteblades in all their glory (OK, I know I still need to do the bases):



And some group shots:

Catchers


Linemen


Kickers (played as Linemen) - I know I still need to remove the leg struts!


Wardancer and Thrower


Coaches


So, what's next? I already painted up a Treewoman, but there are a load of other figures in the pipeline. Here's a couple of sideline figures plus some more positionals / Star Players:





The two Linemen are next on the painting table, then I want to have a crack at the Defensive Coach and Apothecary

[axiom]

Hooray - a fully painted and based team (I know I need some numbers, but I can get by for now). Their first outing as a completed team (the 11-man squad excludes the Treewoman) will be this Sunday
