Converted Wardancer Lord
This was painted as a Christmas present to a dear friend of mine. Color selection was based on her favorite color (purple) along with several analogous colors for the other major areas. Teal and blue were used to keep the cool theme, and to contrast with the red hair. Three natural colors were used as accents, the green, yellow and red on the leaves. All were done with Citadel Colors, making extensive use of their more recent neutral colors such as Catachan Green and Terracotta. I used a lot of feathed layering on the model, and my beloved tinted steel technique for the blade. I mix Dark Green Ink with Chainmail for the basecoat, hilighting with Mithril Silver added. Then I did a thinned wash of OOP Green Ink, and re-hilight with Mithril afterwards. A tiny bit of Dark Green Ink was added around the base of the weapon after everything was dry. Generally I try to avoid pure silver on any Wood Elf model, choosing this method or doing blue steel by subbing in OOP Sky Blue Ink and Dark Blue Ink. For several reasons I didn't like the sword held opposite the spear, so I cut it off and repositioned the arm to hold the owl taken from Dryad plastics. Special attention was also paid to the wrestling Spites on the base, one of my favorite features of the original model.
