I'm back

I'm back from a long break with a test colour scheme for my Witch Aelves!

For the next few months this will focus on my adventures building and painting my Daughters of Khaine.

This is just phase one. More to come this weekend with Morathi and another box of Witch Aelfs!

And here is my test colour scheme for my Witch Aelves. It's using a bronze and purple on pale skin combination. It's still early day and she probably needs some cleaning up here and there. 

The whole mini was zenithal highlighted and then the skin was airbrushed with Vallejo Game Air Barbarian Flesh, then highlighted with Vallejo Model Air Skin tone. A 1:1 druchii violet and medium mix was then washed into the recesses, followed by a 1:1 caroburg crimson and medium wash into the eyes and mouth. Finally the skin was dry brushed with pallid wych flesh and a second glaze/shade of the eye sockets and then the skin is done.

I'll be finishing off the face with a white dot in teh eye and a pink dot on the tongue, just to let them pop.

The boots are abaddon black, highlighted with skavenblight dinge and then drybrushed with dawnstone. A final tidy-up was done with Vallejo grey wash.

The armour and fabric was done following WHTV's sister of silence bronze and purple method but the metalics are Vallejo metal colors (copper and steel). I've only base coated the steel and the bronze needs cleaning up and a couple of highlights.

The hair has me completely stumped though. I'm not sure why but the a nihilahk oxide wash appeals to me but I'm not sure.
