I just got an armoured Glorfy nearly done and realised I have no paints to paint his hair. Can anyone recommend a colour scheme (with example photos if possible) of how to do blonde? I'm not sure what to buy. |

this is the walk thourgh from the "painting the white council" article off the games workshop website hope it helps, For Glorfindel's hair, I basecoated it with Desert Yellow, highlighted it with an even mix of Desert Yellow and Bleached Bone, and finished it with a 1:4 mix of Desert Yellow and Bleached Bone. |

A very simple method (though you can highlight etc to taste with further mixing), I mix Skull White and that Ochre colour (I think Bubonic Brown, not sure) 50-50, paint that on, wash, and re-drybrush as a highlight. |

Check the Tomes of Wisdom section, enough painting articles on those pointy eared blondes. |

I usually basecoat with a brown (Khemri or Scorched) and then mix some Bubonic Brown with some Bleached Bone (for lighter, almost platinum blondes) or Golden Yellow with a bit of Bleached Bone for darker blondes. I can put some pics up in a bit if you want? |

Does the carpet match the drapes? |

So this is the darker kind of blond:   Best to base with a darker brown, then paint with a Golden Yellow / Bleached Bone mix, maybe wash with thinned Devlan Mud or a brown-ish ink, then highlight with a Golden Yellow / Bleached Bone+ Mix (i.e more Bleached Bone then the first coat) The platinum blond of Eomer:  I based with Scorched Brown, then used a Bubonic Brown / Bleached Bone drybrush and highlighted with Bubonic Brown / Bleached Bone+ Hope that was of some use! |
