Warmaster: Dark Elf Spearmen Brigade

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.

  1. 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.
