Thanks for the kind words all, always nice to get such uplifting feedback from the community

Tom, thanks, I'm really happy to hear the palette choice worked out. I was fretting about it early on' but as usual I felt way better about it as I got further along.

Git, I love the harlies as well, I have a small band of elder myself but they've yet to really take off. Glad you picked up on the diamond nods to the original scheme. This scheme really is just a re-imagining of it.

Ice, getting battle damaged elder would like be ok to achieve with the more armored guys and careful use of rusting and other oxidation styles. For high cloth models, it will all come down to the weathering of metals.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Git, definitely clean, but that's mostly because he hasn't made his mind up on battle damage or not I always try and guide people there, but it's his decision in the end!

Yar! Another Random one off model for Pesmerga's buddy this time. Was supposed to be a christmas gift, but I got caught up with classes. However I think the extra time to think about it lead me to a nice result

Was going to go very colorful and what have you like the studio version, but it just didn't fit the visuals in my head when I started. Rethinking it I decided I wanted to try and have a go at creating him with a much more monochromatic color scheme. There are a few touches of color here and there to break him up, mostly just gems and a touch of brown on the pouches, but in the end it was mostly shadow grey, space wolves grey combos that held him together. The metals are just Mithril Silver with Devlan Mud touched up. This was also my first finecast model and I'm not seeing a huge difference between it and regular resin in terms of modeling and painting.

This turned out great, looks almost etherial which I think fits the nature of the model well
