JonGrantMiniatures

I am a big fan of Aelves in Warhammer Underworlds. I also like to paint with a classic palette of colours for each race. The Kurnothi of Skaeth's Wild Hunt are by all accounts Wood Elves. If you are familiar with the lore of the World-That-Was, you may know that the Wood Elves would go to the Oak of Ages and bring forth Orion and his Wild Hunt. Orion was the embodiment of the elven hunter god, Kurnous, in Athel Loren. He was depicted as a giant of an elf with the legs and antlers of a great stag. Very much the original of the Kurnothi in my mind, and maybe a larger future release. I wanted my Kurnothi to be painted in the olive greens and chestnut browns of the Wood Elves from the World-That-Was. Additionally, I have been experimenting with Contrast paints, particularly as washes over a base colour. So, this is my scheme. I must say when I painted these miniatures nearly a year ago, I did a lot of research on the internet and borrowed/stole ideas from all over the place. I did not

Back when I was playing Warhammer Fantasy Battle, I considered playing with an elven army, I even painted a few miniatures, but I never managed to build an army. Now, I have the Oathmark rules, I am planning to have a few units of elves, maybe to have a small army or as allies/elites for a human army. Either way, I want my elves to have an old school Games Workshop, High elf feel; cool blues and whites.   Paints required: Chaos Black spray (Cit) Grey Seer spray (Cit) Mechanicum Standard Grey (Cit) Plate Mail Metal (AP) Drakenhof Nightshade (Cit) Nuln Oil (Cit) Lahmian Medium (Cit) Shining Silver (AP) Zandri Dust (Cit) XV-88 (Cit) Caledor Sky (Cit) Corax White (Cit) Russ Grey (Cit) Agrax Earthshade (Cit) Fenrisian Grey (Cit) Wraithbone (Cit) Tau Light Ochre (Cit) Matt White (AP) Hoeth Blue (Cit) Rakarth Flesh (Cit) Cadian Fleshtone (Cit) Zamesi Desert (Cit) Ushabti Bone (Cit) Retributor Gold Reikland Fleshshade (Cit) Agros Dune (Cit) Wyldwood (Cit) Contrast Medium (Cit) Kislev Flesh (C
