Chaos Cup Legacy Team Entry - Progress

I have continued work on my dark elf lineman for the 2013 Chaos Cup Legacy Team. 

Bases Colors:  I began by priming the model with a black primer and then covered the whole mini except for the severed head in Vallejo Black Grey.  I then base coated the head in Citadel Elf Flesh and the hair in Citadel Calthon Brown.  I based the gloves, boots, and back of the helmet in a black purple mix I had made up.

Wash:  I coved the dark elf in black wash.  I used a sepia wash on the head.

I added some highlight to help me see the parts better but will do actual highlighting later.  Here is where I'm at.

More to come.

Chaos Cup Legacy Team Entry

For the past two year the Chaos Cup Committee, more specifically Sarge, has organized the creation of a Legacy Team.  This year the team is Dark Elf.  People sign-up for a certain player type and create them.  This year I decided to get involved and have signed-up for a line elf.  The point of the team is to be original and I don't have any experience with modifications of models so I decided to use this opportunity to learn to do some.

A friend of mine work at a GW store a long time ago.  When product came in with errors or was unsellable they got a chance at it.  He had a few odds and ends of old dark eldar parts sitting around in his garage and he gave them to me. I used those pieces, some green stuff, some snipping and some pinning and made my line elf.

Well here it is ready for priming.  I think it turned out ok.

Here are some "Babes" I painted a while back.

I didn't care for the apron so I colored it into the skirts.

Hello

Until about 5 years ago I never played any table-top games and I only started as a way to hangout with friends more often.  The game my friends were playing was Blood Bowl and I had a blast with it.  To this day it is my only game (Dreadball from Mantic may be added shortly).  About a year and a half ago I decided to try my hand at painting miniatures.  I was given the Warhammer starter painting set with the night gobos and I went from there.

The first team I painted was the 3rd ed. Dark Elf team from Citadel.  I painted them with black, red, white and blue.  And they were terrible but that got me started.  My second team was the Pharaohs of Vihktora from Impact! Miniatures and my third team was the Frog-men from Gaspez Arts.  Thankfully all these teams have been stripped but they started a new hobby for me.

This is going to be a blog to show my progress from team four on.  I've read tons of blogs, watched tons of tutorials, and picked the brains of folks I know that are much better and much more experienced than me.  So let's see where this goes!
