Working on the metals, gems and smaller details.

Ive used a recipe for “Aelven Metal” as inspiration for the lighter metal, “Gun Metal” for the sword blades and my usual recipe for the gold.

“Aelven Metal”

  • base: Vallejo Model Colour Silver
  • wash: Citadel Waaargh Green
  • 1st layer: Vallejo Model Colour Silver

“Gun Metal”

  • base: GW Boltgun Metal
  • wash: Citadel Shadow Black ink
  • 1st layer: Boltgun metal

Gold

  • Undercoat: Vallejo Model Colour German Camo Brown
  • Base: GW Dwarf Bronz
  • Wash: GW Brown Ink
  • 1st layer: GW Shining Gold
  • 2nd layer: GW Burnished Gold

Gems are:

AV German Camo Brown, GW Mechrite Red, GW Blood Red, a tiny dot of GW Skull White

The bases have been done to match the existing Elves.

After a little feedback in the Hobby Weekender thread ( thanks @dawfydd and @horati0nosebl0wer ) I gave the bases a little bit more of a highlight and adjusted the hair of Palid Elf slightly.
