Lothlorien Elf Spearman

 A short one today, as with the new edition of Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, or MESBG, it was time to finally start painting my Lothlorien force.

Now, first off I want to try a single spearmen, to get an idea of the colours I will be using.

I opted for a very light, foggy grey for the elven cloaks, in the same style as I do on my Idoneth thralls clothing.  For the main clothes, I'll be varying various tones of olive greens and some browns and dark greys to contrast the detail a bit.

And of course, being fair haired they get blonde hair...

 

The bases where done in the same basic green as I use on my Old World Empire of Man, with the characters later on receiving some flowery tufts, the rank and file troops will get a small patch of moss to add some woodland feel to them.

And there we have it, the first completed model for the upcoming Lothlorien army, nothing fancy but a good colour tester.
