very good looking, its very elf like for them to wear all white with gold armour, (altho I dont think a gold sword would be too strong compaired to a steel sword lol)

 

The white seems a little flat to me. You could try adding some greys or tans to the recesses to make it pop a little more. Or a wash. On the other hand, the gold is very nice. Good work!

 

I don't know if it's the flash, but the gold looks very washed out. Did you go straight over the white with it? Even if going for a light colour, over black or brown I've heard gives a nice result with depth in.

As for the sword, well, I think that the gold sword is a little too much gold in one spot. Being a very bright silver with gold edging on the blade might be a bit better I think (again over a black base).

 

You're crazy man! Painting your entire army white is my idea of a painting nightmare. So kudos on your good work so far. Look forward to seeing a completed unit.

All the best

 

It is a nice scheme, but the white and gold could use some work. Try going over them with washes. As well, I don't think there's enough variety with just white and gold. Paint some parts a more bright silver to provide some contrast.

 

I like the scheme but I think if you go over the gold with golden sepia/devlan mudd it may give the gold some more definition.

 

Doesn't look to bad to me. The gold looks a little faded, but that might be because of the picture however. I like the way it looks, it doesn't have to be bright "yellow-ish" gold anyway.

The whites need a little more depth though. Don't get me wrong, you applied some solid layers on the whites to get a nice even coverage... but white never looks perfectly white.

Do yourself a favor when you are going to paint an army... Start with a more brown basecoat (such as snake bite leather) for a warm tint to your robes, or a more grey basecoat (like stone grey) if you prefer a more colder white. It'll add more depth to the miniature overall, it'll look more realistic AND it'll be easier on you in the long term.

 

I have to 5th the comment on a wash over the gold and then use the wash like a pint and layer it on the recesses of the white. Bronze, to gold, to shining gold, with a highlight of silver works really well on gold armor. The white can be done with pretty much any wash, depending on what you want really.
