While that cloth is some of the most fantastic work I've seen, the metallics, while excellent, aren't to the same standard as the cloth IMO. However, terrific job overall!

Great work! I was going to do my next Galadhrim with a Green Scheme, but now that red looks very tempting. |

Thanks peeps 
I do must say that the photo's of the 5 HE's do the models more justice :p in real they look slightly worse IMHO. Anyway those five were made a few years ago, just got them from a friend. The Celeborn and the WE are more recent. I'm currently involved in a ToG for my 40k army, but when I have time to spare I will continue and finish of the Galadhrim army (Celeborn, the WE and the 5 HE is all I have currently painted for it  ).
When I get time I will perhaps post another WiP of it

I'm painting my elves' capes red and yours are fantastic! Well I can remember that I painted those cloaks on a black undercoat. I don't know the exact ratio or w/e, but I use a mix of black/scab red until I find the 'basecoat' of scab red good (eg the shadows are black towards scab red, but lots of the cape is still scab red, see the pics for reference). After that I paint 1 layer of Red Gore on top of it. Then I just mix skull white and red gore, to get a nice pinkish color. Apply that to where you want the highlights. I did this in 3 stages/layers. I had something like 3 scab red/1skull white layer 2scab red/2skull white layer and the top one is 1 scab red 3 skull white. Apply that. Once it is dry apply glazes of Red Gore once again, until the pinkish colors are gone and you will have a nice and deep/good color of red highlights. This is an easy technique to get these good looking results. Currently I'm doing some other techniques, but this was when I couldn't paint that well yet (I aint saying I paint at a much higher standard atm, but I use some other techniques).

Great job guys, love the Thranduil. For the high elves, how did you great the green wash? It looks like watered down catachan green...? |

hey all, just a quick general question, i need a nice base rim color for all my mini's. I was thinking graveyard earth, i got the idea from the White dwarf 362 article about Isengard. i also heard about calthan brown, do you guys think that these two colors are good base rim colors? tell me what you think, thanks feanorthenoldor |

Basically, I use a diluted wash of Woodland Scenics Green Undercoat over Shining Gold. There are a few highlits etc but that's pretty much it. Simple and effective. Cheers. |

i also heard about calthan brown, do you guys think that these two colors are good base rim colors? tell me what you think, thanks feanorthenoldor It's really up to you. I've used plain black for almost all of my figures for 20+ years now. The only exceptions have been some 40k figures with desert bases, whom I gave brown rims to. I find black works well as an all-round colour, and looks elegant to boot if you also display your models. |
