[News] New High Elves

[draconis]

Can't wait till next month when the new round of Fantasy plastics come out...

The boxed sets include...
High Elf Phoenix Guard. Cause fear.

High Elf White Lions of Chrace. White Lions of Chrace ignore
dangerous terrain tests in forests.

and
High Elf Dragon Princes of Caledor. Immune to flaming attacks (including warp fire)

All I need to do now is find out a decent way to paint white
Oh yeah... and a box of tissues ;D

I didn't already post this?
I'm falling off the ball....

I'll be assuming you still get the product briefs too?

I'm looking at those white lions and thinking theyd look awsome with lasguns >_>

I've painted a lot of white. I get a lot of success with a canvas white base (Menoth Base White in the Formula P3 range - the sort of colour you'd associate with a sailing ship's sails) with a pure white over the top. You get a nice shade in the recesses without having to worry too much.

For all the horror stories people tell about painting white, I've never had a problem with it for some reason.

My High Elves will be a something other than the stereo typical white. I'll definitely not have white as a color on them.

building up from a bone colour with lots of lighter grades is the way I do it, but unless I'm really patient doing lots of levels of off-white the end product ends up looking messy.

Using space wolves grey instead of a bone colour gives a cleaner white look I hear, but I prefer the bone colour for the things I use it for like Eldar armour (besides I could not use any product with Space Wolves in the name).

You really want a blue colored base coat as it gives off a 'cool' appearance. I don't mean 'gee that looks really cool' but rather a cooler hue to the tone. Browns is of the red so it gives it a warmer tone.

I guess it really epends on what you are after.
