Not one, not two, but three Dark Elf Spearmen units!
It can be disheartening attempting a "block painting" of several units at once, but the pay off is worth it!
My mobile phone camera didn't want to co operate today so the photos aren't of a great quality, but these aren't high detail units so that's not a big problem.
These fellows are painted the same way as my first unit, using a lot of the new GW colours that didn't have analogues before. Snow is some Woodland Scenics a friend from the game forums kindly sent me.
These fellows are painted the same way as my first unit, using a lot of the new GW colours that didn't have analogues before. Freehand symbols were found by simply using internet image search to find "Dark Elf Banners". A while ago, GW released a couple of "uniforms and heraldry" books for Empire, High Elves and Skaven. The High Elf one had 3 pages filled with nothing but runes to use. Dark Elves apparently never had anything like that so most of their jagged symbols seem to be improvised rather than "canon".
How did you paint such a cool blue-green?! I'm just getting into Warmaster and wanted to do something very similar to this for my own units (albiet with copper armor instead of this excellent gold). I've had a hard time cracking this blue-green combo.
