Hi Guys, Santa has been good to me this year so does anyone have any links to BOFA painting guides? Specifically the armoured mirk wood elves and the lake-town militia? Going to spend a voucher at war hammer world if I know what colours to use! Cheers, Aaron |

hi, I myself painted one warband of militia and nearly two warbands of mirkwood elves check my wip to see how they turned out. For the militia I used random colours since that's just how they look with mostly using red, blue and brown colours. For Mirkwood I do have a strict colour scheme here it is: the golden armour: begin with: sycorax bronze shade with: agrax eartshade layer with: hashut copper finaly layer it with ghenna's gold and for the silver parts on it use runefang steel at the end. red cloth: begin with: khorne red (on al the red parts) shade with: carroburg crimson (on al the red parts) then for the more darker red parts on the arm shade with nuln oil over it agian to make it dark red/purple and then it is done for that red part. then paint over the lighter red part khorne red agian then highlight that part with wazdakka red. Cape, gloves and boots: begin with: dryad bark shade with agrax earthshade then layer it with dryad bark go over it with Gorthor Brown and finaly highlight it with Baneblade brown the bows, arrows and spear: begin with baneblade brown layer with karak stone highlight ushabti bone his thing over its pants I dont know it's name begin with caliban green shade agrax earthshade layer gorthor brown I believe thats it for mirkwood here are some colour schemes for the lake-town militia: blue: begin with dawnstone then layer that withadministratum grey and layer that agian withfenrisian grey shade drakenhof nightshade highlight with fenrisian grey leather: start with dryad bark then use the nuln oil shade layer with dryad bark and highlight with gorthor brown red: begin with khorne red then shade it with carroburg chrimson layer with khorne red and finnaly highlight with wazdakka red I hope you now have a bit of an idea of how it looks like a bit and enjoy your awesome BOFA mini's! |

Oh wow thanks very much! Much more in depth than I had hoped for which is great! Altho what I thought was going to be 5 paints is looking more like 20!! |

For Mirkwood I use a variation of these colours for all my miniatures, that way the army has a sort of fluidity between the different units. Especially when considering that the Rangers, Palace Guard and BOFA warriors all have very different looks. A little colour theory goes a long way to connecting these separate entities. Metals = Base = Auric Armour Gold + Doombull Brown (1:1). Layer = Auric Armour Gold. Wash = Loren Forest + Nuln Oil (1:1). Highlight = Runelord Brass. Edge-highlight = Runefang Steel. Dark Green = Base = Caliban Green. Wash = Nuln Oil. Highlight = Caliban Green. Edge-highlight = Loren Forest. Woodland Green = Base = Castellan Green. Wash = Nuln Oil. Highlight = Straken Green + Castellan Green (1:1). Edge-highlight = Straken Green. Dark Brown= Base = Dryad Bark + Gorthor Brown (1:1). Wash = Agrax Earthshade + Nuln Oil (1:1). Highlight = Gorthor Brown. Woodland Brown= Base = Doombull Brown. Wash = Nuln Oil. Highlight = Doombull Brown + Gorthor Brown (1:1). Edge-highlight = Doombull Brown + Gorthor Brown + Iyanden Darksun (1:1:1). Leather Brown= Base = Khorne Red + Dryad Bark (1:2). Wash = Nuln Oil. Highlight = Doombull Brown. Edge-highlight = Doombull Brown + Skrag Brown (1:1). Beige Fabric= Base = Karak Stone. Wash = Agrax Earthshade. Layer = Karak Stone. Highlight = Karak Stone + Administratum Grey (1:1). Edge-highlight = Ushabti Bone + Administratum Grey (1:1). As yet, I'm not aware of any painting guides for the BOFA releases, but I hope this helps. |
