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

Hey, would you mind sharing what colours you used for the red cloth
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).
