I’ll be taking things slowly to begin with as I recuperate, but wanted to share the first tentative steps in deciding on a color scheme for the Elves. I’ll be taking a simple approach using the “Foundry 3-step method” so don’t expect any amazing artwork!

The figures were undercoated in Grey primer and I did not try any highlighting at this stage. The only change I made was to add white to the faces so that, hopefully when flesh is added it will have more visual appeal.

Colours used are manly Foundry Triad, but I’ll be adding some Vallejo later.

I chose three reasonably similar figures. Base coated in Grey

Armour painted with a wash of Vallejo Gunmetal (72054) to emphasize the individual plates, and to provide some darkness in the recesses. Helmet painted with solid Gunmetal, faces painted white

Base coats for the armor: Foundry Deep Blue (20); Madder Red (60) and Bright Green (25). Leather boots (Deep Brown Leather 54) and gloves Tan (14). I also gave the shields one coat of Gun Metal, but these will be painted a color later. I'm not sure at the moment which direction to go in

From here I’ll follow through with additional highlighting etc and find the small items to pant and emphasize. I’m also thinking of trying a different phone as the pictures do not seem to me to be particularly clear.

Now that I see them in the flesh, I am wondering whether to rethink my options and go for the totally different color schemes for each Clan. If I do that, maybe the bring uniformity, I’ll pant all the shields the same color, but perhaps add different “Family” logos?

That’s for later. Next Time I’ll finish the highlighting and try to make a final decision.

Happy Gaming
