About the Project
You know the drill, you`r going to "TEST" this new game in your local gamestore, befor the Demo you don´t know if you would like it, after the demo you miss alot of money in your pocket. Long story short, I´m starting with Age of Sigmar, I love the Nighthaunts in the new box, but everyone will play it, so I´ve decided "Jocke, you´ve never played Elves or anything like that in any game you´ve played, so why not try something like that?". I´ve now got a "Start Collecting Sylvaneth" Box, the Battletome, Path of Glory and the Skirmish rules. So, let´s do a project, shall we?

It´s all about the Base!
Trying some new tools (again from Greenstuffworld) for my bases. The texturing rolling pin is a lot try & error, first I used it with Milliput and creating a total mess, decided to go with greenstuff, it was a lot easier.
Pro Tip: Grease up your rolling pin and the putty you would use it on, also go slow with the rolling pin.
First attempts where okay, but next time I´ll try to make them better.
What is Ironbark?
After me digging through the Sylvaneth Background and decide to go with the Ironbark Wargrove, I actually ask myself “What is Ironbark? Is this a real thing?” and in the matter of facts, it is.
Quote of Wikipedia: Ironbark is a common name of a number of species in three taxonomic groups within the genus Eucalyptus that have dark, deeply furrowed bark.
So, okay… I do a bunch of Eucalyptus Tree-Folk, damn, I need some tiny Koala Bears (Just kiddin, I don´t do tiny Koala bears… okay… perhaps one, for fun)
The Original Ironbark will give me a color scheme for my force of Sylvaneth.
First Step and Research
First step: ResearchAfter I´ve overlooked the Battletome my first question was: What Wargrove do I want to build.
After a little bit of research I´ve decided for the Ironbark Wargrove. I like the Idea of the Sylvaneth and the Duardin working together (and in the future I can build and paint some dwarfs, awesome).
