Hi fellas. Just wondering if anyone has some photos of different high elf color schemes? I was thinking maybe a soft purple or something. I would like to stay away from white and gray as much as I can.
Any photos would be great thanx.

I went for a Roman legion style paint scheme for my High Elves. Red, steel and gold, with lots of wood grain for the shields, weapon handles, etc.

Been doing mostly 40K, but I want to get back to them over the summer.


Work in progress Sea Guard


Phoenix Guard

More in the gallery. Hope this helps.

wow looking good mate. only thing I have to be careful on is making them not look like dark elves. Not saying yours do but yeah,.

I did some test models in greens.

Teal would probably work quite well for High Elves.

Well if you're thinking a soft purple, what about a light looking gold to go with it?
