This is Reaper's fantastic Wood Elf King (#02934) sculpted by Werner Klocke and painted using Reaper Master Series paints. I wanted to build the theme around these three colors, 9082-Jungle Moss, 9063-Ghost White and 9110-Oiled Leather.
The cloak is based with Jungle Moss and then highlighted up with 9034-Muddy Olive and a bit of 9095-Clear Yellow. The main knotwork on the back of the cloak was blocked in with Oiled Leather, outlined in Jungle Moss mixed with 9136-Walnut Brown and then highlighted with 9095-Clear Yellow up to 9061 Linen White. The side panels and the front coat tails are 9063-Ghost White shaded with a wash of 9020-Twilight Blue. The knotwork was finished with 9034-Muddy Olive.
Since I don't paint NMM, I wanted to work out a process for the gold armor. I based all of the armor on 9110-Oiled Leather and then covered that with thin 9050-Antique Gold. I highlighted that with 9051-New Gold. The armour was antiqued with a 9028-Muddy Brown wash and then lined in 9136-Walnut Brown using a gloss medium to preserve the shine to the metallic surface.
The base is built on a 1" (25mm) Reaper Warlord plastic base which has been scored around the perimiter to simulate wood grain. The tree was sculpted from Magic Sculp and scored with the same wood texture. The fungus on the side of the tree was sculpted with green stuff. Sand, static grass and brass etched foliage was added to finish off the ground cover painted with various browns and greens. |
