Old and New Elves - Spring Cleaning
Searching for a Theme
I’ve been playing High Elves for many a year and I never had the right paint theme in mind. I’ve tried several but never finished any of them. None of them did the job well enough.
Launching into the Lumineth I knew I had to nail something down or I’ll be pushing around greys for another decade. That prompted me to dig out my colouring pencils and start from there first.
Deep blue through to a sea foam green with soft yellow and browns thrown in. Would it work? Not sure. Also the armour I went against using metallics, just raise the difficulty level that much higher, ’cause I’m crazy that way.
I don’t have a good enough picture of it but I tested the blue to green out on the cloak of an old Phoenix Guard model. It worked well so I set about trying it on a Lumineth spearman
A little of the progress there. The finished, yet baseless so far, model was shown before.
To show the process a bit more, I’ve done the same method on some Vanari Dawnriders
