I've been working on and off with my High Elves for the past 5 years. I bought them when I just started playing the game, had a terrible experience with it and never touched it again.
Then, suddenly for no apparent reason, I started playing again. I redid all of my paintjobs to give my Elves a spiffy new look, so here there are!

My Test model
Did this silver helm back when I was bored and decided to paint something randomly. I think it's what really got me into the entire game because I realized what an entire army of these could look like, and I was impressed.

You have to use html in this editor. Either use the image icon and plug in
the fields, or read the FAQ that shows you how to do it.

I have since finished this model. As well as patched up the Spearman Champion's face, so he doesn't look like he has herpes.

Well done! Your color scheme is not what I would have chosen. That is what I love about this hobby- seeing other designs.
I'd say your technical skills are really good. Your models look good- really good- at tabletop range.

Close up, yes, my models aren't that good. Mainly because I use such exaggerated highlights. Tabletop level though, you're right. It looks much better.

Nice job! Your skill is mad impressive! Yeah, the colors are kinda gay, but, when they are all ranked up they look good, still a lil gay, but that is cool. Though, I would say work on the freehand painting a bit more to get those shield glyphs down. And why did you not putty the horses necks? Over all though, good frickin job! Seriously!

really nice looking army so far. i look forward to seeing more

Though to be honest. Pink/Magenta isn't a bad color, and I have no qualms about it. It looks very nice and "gay" is the last thing I think about.

Yeah looks gay.... if you want to start over I'll trade you... new stuff for your old ones :p

Seriously I like it a lot. And serious about trading too :p
