Hi there, today I present my newly finished mounted Spellweaver / Spellsinger for my Wood Elves. It is a conversion from the original Spellweaver model from GW on foot and a horse of the Glade Riders, who was added a twisted horn and some hair on the feet to look like a unicorn. Hope you like it!

As for today I give you a quick update on the the Sisters of Thorn, the new unit of the Wood Elves Release. I really like the models except one thing: the awkwardly looking antlers of the mounts that look like helmet ( check it out ).  Because of that I decided to convert the antlers to a more realistic way and oriented myself to the following picture. Here´s the outcome of the conversion.   Thoughts for the painting scheme: First I have been torn between a mono white and a mono brown colour scheme. Then I found both kind of boring and also the white scheme not fitting because the mounted Characters who will join the unit also have white mounts. That´s why I took again inspiration on nature and tend to the following color scheme. It´s far from boring and will bring some new pattern to my army which I love! Also it  is going to be more complex to paint, I´m looking forward to it.

A long time went by, it felt like a century, but time of waiting has come to an end – after 9 years Games Workshop released the new Wood Elves army book and some new kits/units. With this release of course the Cherry Blossom Grove will be extended. I can´t wait to assamble and paint the new units and command them on the battlefield. As for the start I ordered the new book, magic cards, three boxes of Wildwood Rangers, two boxes of Sisters of Thorn and a Lord of the Wood Elves called Araloth. The Wildwood Rangers are the models I have been looking for a long time. They perfectly fill in the roll of beeing the multi-unit with the two-handed sword of the Cherry Blossom Grove: for the Wood Elves I ´m obviously play them as Wildwood Rangers and for the High Elves they are played as White Lions. The regiment base are completed with lots of forest bases of Microart-Studio including two 40mm mulitbases which I like very much because they bring so much more "Forestfeeling"

Introduction: The Cherry Blossom Grove "Athel Loren is the oldest Forest in the Old World. It is a magical, but dark and haunted place where malicious spirits roam through the twisted undergrowth and tiny darting shapes flit between the trees on the edge of vision. But Athel Loren has plenty of facets. There is also a bright, beautiful side of hidden places of unseen beauty with places no mortal has ever encountered and places of unimaginable elegancy: The Cherry Blossom Grove." In my Wood Elves army project I tried to reflect this kind of natural beauty. The blossoming life of Athel Loren with all its natural grace has been the main idea in creating this army. The Cherry Blossom Grove grew constantly till nearly all units in the old Wood Elves army book were assembled and painted, all tactics and list were played and tried out... but no new Wood Elves army book was to be seen. So I decided to expand the army.Expand it in a way it would be possible to play the army with

Hi All, welcome to my hobby blog! This will be the place where I´m going to post all tabletop related stuff which I love to spend my time with - like plenty of painted and converted miniatures, battle reports and analyses round off our loved hobby. At the moment I´m mostly into Warhammer Fantasy and Infinity but in the future there will definitely be more systems…just because I´m addicted to this hobby. To document my progress and thoughts regarding tabletop I started this blog. Of course, also to share my miniatures and passion with the hobby with you guys! To give you an insight to Goldmunds Welt feel free to check out my FlickR-albums. There you will find a wide variety of painted miniatures of my Infinity army the Combined Army and of my Warhammer multi-army of Wood Elves and High Elves: https://www.flickr.com/photos/goldmundswelt/sets/ My Warhammer battle reports – recorded in German language – you find as follows: https://www.youtube.com/user/goldmundswelt Cheerio!
