Will be an update soon. Been busy building units

From memory (:/ it was three years or so ago) it was sprayed white, couple thin layers of iyaden yellow (foundation paint) shaded with thinned down purple wash applied to the recesses, highlighted up through iyaden to bleached bone.

Re: Painting High Elves...Black or White Primer?

Black is always preferable as it means if you miss abit then it doesnt show up glaringly white ;)

however if what your painting is going to be predominately white then white spray is obviously the way to go. Saves you the hassle of trying to get a decent white finish over black.

Re: Brushes

windsor and newton series 7 are the best brushes around by a mile.

However all i generally use on a day to day basis when army painting is a standard GW Basecoat brush - my entire High Elf was done with just this one brush, everything from eyes to dragons.
