Today's update covers some more Galadhrim. A Galadhrim banner lad, Haldir with armour and sword and spirit/angry Galadriel. The only new scheme used for any of these models was for Galadriel. I prayed her Grey Seerer, and covered the whole model with Briar Queen Chill (GW Contrast), I then shaded the entire model with Coelia Greenshade. I then dry brushed the model with Grey Seer and did various glazes with Coelia Greenshade/Grey Seer.
Next up is a batch of Galadhrim lads. 3 Guards of the Court and the 3 brothers - Haldir, Orophin and Rumil. These all followed exactly the same colour scheme already covered here.
Quite a big project from last year... the Heart of Ghur terrain set. Incredible scenery, pain in the arse to build and paint but totally worth it.
Having said that, I'd quite like those 8 hours I spent painting all the ropes on the Bamboo bridges and walkways!
Here the process/techniques.
Sprayed Colour Forge Hyrax Brown.
Skeletons - airbrushed Gobi Brown, then up to AK Warm Grey
Wash - dark brown oil wash then matte varnish over everything.
Next up, I highlighted the trees with a dry brush of Gorthor Brown then Baneblade Borwn. I also drybrushed Cadian Fleshtone on the tips. Finally, paint over tree teeth with warm grey and apply a wash of Red Tone to the teeth/tips of the branchesNext up are a couple of Celeborns! One with armour, sword and shield and the other in his nightwear!
Both were very enjoyable to paint, probably the most fun I've had painting in a while. Anyway, on with the scheme info:
This followed my standard Galadrhim shame of Retirbutor Armour spray, washed with Reikland Fleshade and then highlighted with Glistening Gold (Two Thin Coats) and Mythril Blade (TTC).

My January hobby goal for 2023 was to complete this unit of 24 Galadhrim Warriors... and I managed to get them over the line on the 31st of January! Batch painting 24 models was a slog, but I'm thrilled to get the first unit of my Lothlorien army done!
