Commision update - Retro Spear elves

Long time no blog.

So here is an update on what I have been working on.
Repaired cleaned and textured bases

Painted base, base coat face.

Test sliver, face painted.

Silver for everyone! Faces repainted

Faces redone a 3rd time finally happy with the end result.

Had a slow start with these, had to travel north for a funeral. Back at the grind stone now. Having fun with a new batch of models that are completely different from my skaven. Experimenting with colours as I go.

Very happy with the colours on the base. First I put dark gray on the sand/texture, followed with a Brown wash, then a light grey dry brush on the texture. Black around the bottom. When every thing else is paint a few bdabs of flock will finish it off.

The face took me 3 tries before i was happy with the end result. Base, wash, layer and another layer.

Choose a dark metal for the base of the armour, will use a light silver to bring out the details.

Kye

P.s. Pete the shields are a pain in the posterior to paint around....thanks!
