Dark Elf Warriors

Hello folks!

I finally, after I'm not sure how long, managed to finish ten classic Dark Elf spearmen!


 



The recipe (Moreso for me in the future, since I can't imagine many other people want to collect these models):

-Vallejo purple with a drybrush/highlight of magenta for all cloth

-Black undercoat and natural steel based on all metal parts

-Yellow ocre for the wooden part of the spear and orange brown for the leather around it. Vaellejo tan earth to highlight the orange brown straps.

-Flat brown/light flesh, agrax earthquake wash then highlighted with light flesh again

-Base texture is sand primed with brush on primer/army painter black, dry rushed with vallejo us bluegrey pale (905). Army painter goblin green for the sides of the base

-Chainmail skirt straps are painted black, highlighted with basalt grey

-Ivory knife handles were either buff or silvergrey, both vallejo

Shield: icon based flat brown, then based again with flat red and all raised areas were highlighted with vermillion. Black shield part highlighted with London grey. Cushion is just 50:50 black and basalt grey kinda slapped on

Cheers, 80 points down and 920 to go!
