Post by Dooppie »

At the moment I am trying too paint a unit Glade guard.
Now I am not sure about the look of models.

I try too give my army a late autumn look.
Lot of leafs are coming on the base, trees have almost no leafs, it's almost winter.
No green leafs and it's lot of raining (lot of water on base).

Well. It's a good start. Perhaps highlight the colours a bit more.

At the moment I paint 20 Glade guards this collour combo:

brownred part (cavalry brown) become high lighted with blood red (GW collour).
Still red is a hard thing too high light...some people can give me advice?
I have not much experiance with high lighting.

for higlighting reds i start with scoched brown base then mix in more and more blood red for each highlight the last higligh is mix of blood red and fiery orange.

Another bit of advise I would give the skin a flesh wash followed by anotherr elf flesh highlight to bring out the detail in the models
