[WM] a bit of High Elves

[Stormwind]

Exactly how many character packs worth is that?

[Dave]

A few.

[BlackEd]

Looking good! Are you going to base them 8 to a stand or more?

[Dave]

Planning on 10 per stand, two units worth.

[David Wasilewski]

Great idea! I can see why you've done it this way, the prices swordmasters seem to be fetching on e bay nowadays!

The basecoat for the white's all done, I forgot how long that step usually takes. I also starting in on the first highlight on one strip of casualty counters as well. I'm hoping to finish up my command conversions for these guys in the coming week.

[Dave]

The first white highlight is done on everything, and I finished the second one on the counters. I'm hoping I didn't screw myself here in not doing the dirt first, I'm going to have to be careful when drybrushing it.





The Sword Masters still need the final white highlight, but they're in home stretch. After that it's just the red, gold and hair. I definitely have to get going on their command, and my next bit of High Elf conversions.

[Stormwind]

Your dedication is stunning.  I'm struggling to finish a single warhammer terrain piece for a friend. =-P

[Dave]

Your dedication is stunning.

I've got a closet full of models that would argue with you about that. The High Elves are the exception to the rule.

Dave, what silver spray did you use? Mine is terrible and I'm looking for a replacement.

[Dave]

Either the Testors or the Model Masters stuff. I got it at Michaels/AC Moore.

[berzerkmonkey]

Ha - I'm a dummy. It didn't even occur to me to just use model paint! I've been using Krylon, just like with my priming. Thanks.

[Dave]

So the red took a little longer than I anticipated, I got have off the models basecoated with it in addition to finishing the gold this past week. It was the red on the Sword Masters that took the longest, I tried to take my time on most of it so I didn't have to go back and touch things up.



Given that and what I have left on this stuff I think the end of February is a more accurate completion date. No work yet on the command for them either.

[jchaos79]

That's look great!

[Dave]

A late update, but I didn't have much to post on Monday. I finished the red highlights today, all that's left on the Sword Masters is the touch-up and the hair. The counters still need the wood, leather and ground painted though.
