To throw some ideas out there - could you paint some sections as leather/wood (particularly on the horses)? Maybe give the armour a verdigris, or perhaps just a more coppery, less steel plate look?
Don’t know if extending their cloaks would work? To cover more of the metal.
I reckon having the minis more spread out and not so close, avoiding 2x5, would also visually make a difference. Less a thundering wall of steel.
@MarkG Yes, thar would be possible. Maybe I have to take a closer look on the Stormwind riders. @MechaSturgeon Good idea. I like the models actually and I think it would look more wild with centaurs, elves, panthers and treemen.
I finally finished my Boskwraiths! They are basically Gladestalkers with two handweapons and a few critters on the base. I still like the Mantic Elves, especially as Sylvan Kin, due to their ‘alien’ look.
Those look great! I was also thinking about modifying the standard Elves a bit, double weapons for Boskwraiths sure works and looks great. I’ll probably use the same models with bows and add some cloaks to make Gladestalkers for my army eventually.
I will paint the monopose Hunters in different colours of wood, maybe try a birch one. But it will still be challenging to make them look different from each other. Conversion options are not that great, but I like the overall look.
