KoW Elves are coming (finally)
Basing part 2
Finally getting back to the project. Health-wise things are good, so no excuses!
I prepared a number of bases (see last post) and the next stage was allowing 48 hours for the clay to completely dry out before layering various shades of green Acrylic paints (artists cheap colours) finishing with a light yellow. The end result seemed too bright for me, so a diluted wash of Agrax Earthshade to dampen them down and finally the edges were painted with a Vallejo green.
Colours used – Artist acrylics:
Fixing the models was a staged process. I glued down the first line then added small patches of diluted PvA (about 60/40) and dropped on to this some colored sand. The idea was to add some texture to the bases, but also the add some additional support to the figures with the PvA/Sand mix.
I still need to add additional foliage, eg. shrubs/trees etc. and then work on the Gladestalkers. These I think I will equip in leather rather than the Elven armor. Also I want their bases to be highly condensed with plants etc.
So, my next challenge is to make some interesting “Elven” trees etc.
Happy Gaming!
