My brain needed a change from Orcs and Arabs, and with a busy week ahead I decided on something smaller than my normal weekly effort to paint for this submission. I've already got a number of Sylvaneth minatures painted as a warband for Warcry and I've added to that now as I move towards a playable force for Age of Sigmar.
Ylthari's Guardians
Ylthari's Guardians is a Warhammer Underworlds Warband, several of which I've bought now to give me options in Warcry list building and simply because they are just amazing, one off characterful sculpts.
My personal favourite is the miniature with the glaive and the flowers but they are each beautiful in their own way and were thoroughly enjoyable to paint.
Sylvaneth Heroes
Druanti the Arch-Revenant and a Branchwych are two hero / characters than can do double duty, either as heavy hitters in Warcry or as low-middling level commanders in Age of Sigmar.

I'm not sold on the purple wings and I may repaint them later to something close to the skin tone. What do you think?
Both are slightly modified from the standard build. I've swapped out Druanti's shield for something a little less chunky and more elegant, and left off the scorpion tail the Branchwych normally sports as I just think it looks weird and doesn't suit the miniature at all. If you didn't know it was missing you'd think this is what the completed mini looks like.

These are all on or near 40mm in scale (but not quite!) and as they're technically 28mm (what does that even mean now?) I've scored them as such...
6 x 28mm miniatures = 30 points
Thanks for looking!
Cheers,
Millsy

Oooooohhh! These are very beautiful and terrifying figures and painted so well! The blues and purples look ethereal, a cool contrast to the dark woods of their bodies. Very effective and characterful and fun on the gaming table. I also really like the runic standing stones, great back drop!
30 points to you

Models look great. and the purple wings work but I would do a bit of a gradient to a desaturated purple
