Hi everyone.
i have recently got the new BLOOD ISLAND box set as i want to start a High Elf Army painting project.
the only problem i have is i dont like all the white and blue, i found a really cool colour scheme in Grudgelor for caledor the 2nd.
any other idea's ?

Pale green and gold. To see what i mean by 'pale green' have a look at my dark eldar plog, i have chosen a pale green based colour scheme and i am pretty chuffed with it so far.

Not wanting to show off, but I experimented a bit on an Elf for a painting competition :

Lothern Sea Guard gallery

There is also a Red + gold Swordsmaster that looked really nice...

I personally love the way that deep red with gold trimming, along with gold scales looks on High Elf models.

Do you have any pictures of the color scheme you found? I personally am not a fan of Caledor the 2nd lore wise (well, I suppose that depends on if your talking about Imrik or Caledor II) so I might or might not be a little bias

Mine are mecharite red and rich gold (with a touch of cream thrown in for good luck), and it looks pretty awesome. I also have done a few in really dark blue and gold, and that looks good too.
