The third Blood Bowl team is finally painted, here are some Dark Elves! The assassins from Forge World and star players need some more attention so they will come later.
Like I mentioned in one of the previous posts, I bought them because my wife really liked their playstyle in the video games and we wanted some diversity in our teams either way. The team was also quite recently released when I bought them, they looked sharp and I certainly didn't mind painting some Dark Elves for a change!
If I were to paint them as my first team I would probably choose black and red for them because I really like the druiichi in that scheme, but Orcs were already sporting those colors. So I choose the official paintjob - that makes them stand out really well amongst the other teams and it was a good opportunity to paint something purple. Last time I used that color in any appreciable quantity was with Tzeentch Horrors, around 2006 - so it quite refreshing to try that out again. It was also the first time when I decided to cheat and "paint" their eyes using a 0.05 pen instead of a brush - I expected wonders, but in the end, it was almost the same - it's just too damn small! I really admire people that can paint irises and reflections there.
I'm glad how they turned out and liked working on them, even if the elven cleanliness and the striking colors aren't really my forte.

DeletePięknieś dobrał do tego fioletu kolor trawki i łusek narzutek. Kontrast jak ta lala :)
ReplyDeleteKolor łusek wybrałem specjalnie, trawki użyłem akurat takiej, bo kiedyś kupiłem i nigdy nie użyłem - a tu się zdarzył akurat dobry pretekst ;) Cieszę się więc tym bardziej, że przypasowało i się podoba :)
