The Elf has always been my favourite of the hero models and is the hero I prefer to play. He may well have been the first miniature I ever painted as he was one of just three that I got around to painting from my original set.

Elf Player Board Art

The Elf’s colour scheme is pretty simple and was mostly done using the contrasts paints I have been using throughout this project. Working straight over the Khaki primer I used Blood Angels Red for his jerkin and Skeleton Hoard for the trousers and lapels. The boots were painted Vallejo German Camo Medium Brown and the satchel Flat Brown before both were given a thinned down coat of Wyldwood.

Finished Elf

The hair was simply painted skull white followed by Apothecary White. I wanted a paler skin tone for the Elf so I used a mix of the Vallejo skin tones Light Flesh and Brown Rose. It was at this point I noticed the damage to the Elf’s nose. It appears to have been squashed or ground down in some way. I will have to revisit this in the future with a file and some green stuff as an Elf with a flat nose just won’t do!
