Yes, I own elves. Never talked about it in here really. Recently sold my Space Marines, but I couldn't find anyone to take these babies, so I'm going to finish building and painting them. Most are assembled, and I might have 2 or 3 that are painted. But for the backstory as to how I have them...

My (was) rich friend wanted to play fantasy rather than 40k, but no one was willing to learn. I told him I would, but didnt have a few hundred to put out on an army, so he litterally bought me the $240 army box, the codex, some phoenix guard, and white lions (about $400). I assembled them in a hurry to play, but then he never finished his wood elves. So they sat in a box for the last 3 years, and now that I have nothing to do now that I'm lacking my 40k stuff, I'm pulling them back out of the box.

I am by no means a good painter, and I'm alright with conversions and stuff like that. Don't expect Golden Daemon material here. This blog is more for self-motivation to paint the army then anything, though your input is welcome. I decided to forgo the traditional blue robes that the elves wear in favor of red, I just like red.

Bawww.... I was psyched to see them but they are grey boxes.

Im making a photobucket as I'm typing this, Ill put the link up when I'm done, take out the boxes and stuff. Garr

Well .. if you click the grey boxes the pictures show up actually !

Anyways , I'm wondering why you are painting over gray ?

I was never big on priming. Now that I'm actually using primer, I unfortunatly I am out of primer. Need to get more later, it'll help with the robes. But for right now my poor is gonna have to stick with 3 or 4 coats of white

$3 krylon white or black spray at wall mart will work. its what i use.
