I finished painting the High Elf Spearmen. These are possibly my favourite LotR warrior miniatures, sculpted by Gary Morley (yes, the same guy who sculpted the hideous Orc Trackers and ridiculous Knights of Dol Amroth).

I tried a new technique for the metals to mimic the greenish tint seen in the beginning of the Fellowship movie. The "golden" metals are basecoated with Shining Gold, then a generous wash of Thraka Green was applied and finally I highlighted the edges with Burnished Gold.
