Nice model even for tabletop!

He is probably using Steel legion brown to bleached bone.

Really nice Gandalf. The final white highlights make it stand out.

Thanks mate. I work the shadows which makes the highlights stand out more. If it was needed to a higher standard I would have gone darker in places

Looks cracking for tabletop standard (and I'll be borrowing the colour scheme for when I eventually get to mine).

Thanks Phil, trick is to drag the pigments into the shadows and pull the highs to the top.
