Hi, Not Sure If This Should Be In The Painting Section But Here We Go...

The Poll Is Just For A General Idea And I'd Rather You Posted But How Do You Paint Your Elves or Want To Paint Them?

Pics Are Great and If You Find A Cool Scheme The Post That Too But Please Dont Claim Other Peoples Work As Your Own.
Thanks

Eh my favorite color is green, one of the many reasons I was drawn to WE. Though I do think the Autumn theme looks pretty sweet, I went for as much green/shades of green as I could. I've been throwing in some red as the an army's color, for banners and such. (I have pics already in the showcase and will try to get some more up as I get around to it)

Nice paint job Cyric.

Now, to whom exactly do I sell my soul so I can paint that well?

I went Summer. I loved painting the greens and browns. (Although a little sick of it ATM)

But IMO nothing beats an Autumn army on the table. It just looks fantastic.

Man it's all about the Autumn collor scheme! I can get reds, oranges, yellows, greens and browns in... and that's just the leaves!!! I really like the Wood Elf models when they are bright and colorfull!

I started with a winter theme, and figured it'd be pretty cool. But I'd always been attracted to the dark, terroristic side of the Wood Elves (yeah, that's what I said: they attack from hiding, slaughter everything that approaches without mercy, and then slip away. and every spring they assault the poor bretonnians 'just for the fun of it')

So I decided that I wanted some 'darkside WE'. I painted mine in blacks and reds and greys to make them look like a burnt forest. Partially insane, no trees except dryads= DON'T BURN THE &**$ TREES YOU STUNTY!

It surprises me that the armies are actually painted mostly spring in the book. After reading the lore and stuff I would think winter would be more popular in the book since in the lore thats when they had to defend the forest the most. I dunno i guess everyone just likes there greens at GW.

But most of the trees came to the battle in the Winter of Woe didn't they i dunno i will have to reread it. But i think the only who is sleeping beyond awakening is Areil the others can come too but it takes a lil bit. Even than too Areil can come to in dire situations they are all a bunch of fakers they can come back whenever they want i say :rofl

I would love to go wit ha winter scheme, but i am not that great of a painter. I will be going with an autumn scheme. I have the colors and ability to pull it off. As soon as I get more of my army built I will start painting it. Question, has any one painted Orion in autumn or winter colors?

I can't imagine them working tbh. Fluff-wise he should be getting ready for his long nap or sleeping. Colour-wise, I can't see it being terribly exiting. I think Reds would be too bold while whites are too dull.

But most of the trees came to the battle in the Winter of Woe didn't they
Wasn't that the spring though? When the winter was finished, the trees came to life and the Orcs got their butts kicked because they were all refreshed and all.

Well when I first saw the new models I was determined to paint them in a winter theme but when I saw the cover art on the book I just knew I had to paint them in greens and yellows. So mine are spring/summer.
Also as I really like the Orion model and use him regularly this also fits together well with the fluff of him just awakening.
