So here is the story. My best friend was diagnosed with leukemia, and when the the fighting began he began to start a wood elve army, shown below. He always wanted to go big or go home. He collected a 2000+ army, maybe more, and got to fight once and squished an orcs & goblin player. Months later he passed. The army sat for a couple of years, until his mom asked if anyone wanted it. I volunteered to take it with the intent on breathing life back into them, however after painting one model the task seemed overwhelming. So, I am asking for help. Where should i begin? How do I fix broken models? What are some short term goals I should make. Some are painted, should I remove the paint with simple green. What are some bench marks? Pretty much I'm asking for where to start and how to stay motivated? He also had a small necron army that i am currently practicing on.
The army consists of 40 glade guard, 9 glade riders, 30 eternal guard, 6 tree kin, 1 treeman, 24 dryads, 12 wardancers, 9 waywatchers,noble, branchwraith, spellweaver, amd waywatcher noble. Any ideas?
