Drow/Dark Elf Warband

[stone cold lead]

Not exactly old models but definitely an old school vibe with these Otherworld drow. There are a few characters from other manufacturers that aren't quite so old school but they're all part of the same commission. I think if I ever wanted to put together a dark elf warband and didn't want to trawl Ebay for old models I'd probably go with these. I don't remember whether I posted pics here of the dryders and giant spiders I painted a while back but they're all part of the same band of models. It would have been nice to get a shot of everything together but the spiders etc went back to the client a while back.

I've got more pics on my blog and in my website gallery.

Amazing!

I always did favour the Forgotten Realms style of Dark Elf and your paintwork really captures this spot on.

Some great models and so crisp.

Spectacular!

Love it. Reminds me of Baldur's Gate and Dungeon Siege!

Beautiful!
Both the sculpts & your painting are excellent. Being slightly arachnophobic, those spiders give me the willys.

I second that Sir! I too have always preferred a more sinister look and feel to Dark Elves and the Forgotten Realms Drow was always what I aspired towards in Dark Elves.

Great paint scheme and a very sinister looking force indeed!

Great work!

Excellent painting job as always. I wonder if you could share the colors you used for the skin of your drows... much better than the usual Dark elves tones

I used a base mix of VMC Tan Earth and Field Blue. For highlighting I mixed in VGC Bonewhite.
