Hi guys! I wanted to share some pictures of my High Elves that I recently painted. My paint scheme is heavily inspired by the Island of Blood box art, so they are very blue. And also, there's a work-in-progress of the Silverhelms I'm currently painting. I need 29 of them, so that's going to take a while.  |

I love your colours on the Frostheart. I have one to paint some day, and I've never loved the pale colour scheme of it. Your darker blues on the back feathers look much better, and I'm definitely using this for inspiration when I eventually paint mine  |

These are awesome. You have a real talent with blending.  |

Thanks guys! :>
I mainly use shades, which makes blending very fast and easy. I usually do one basecoat and then apply 1-2 thin shade coats, which I pull to the recesses or I use a damp brush to wipe the shade away where the highlights would be and do some quick feathering.

The frostheart is magnificent but I also really admire the blue armour. Can you share your recipe? Is it contrast paint painted over metallics? I have a rather large elf army I am planning on doing one day and had something similar in mind, only with turquoise instead of blue.

Yes exactly. It's Grey Knights Steel with very thinned down Talassar Blue (1:12 with contrast medium) over it.

Absolutely brilliant. The base complements the fantastic model and paintjob theme so well.
