This is dead easy to paint, lifted from a historicals blog.
Base is "Brown Sand", as the shadow colour
Layer #1 is "Iraqi Sand", a bone colour really, but not quite
Layer #2 is "Off White", doesn't go on solid which is what you want here
Layer #3 is also "Off White" just the block in a few areas.
Nice warm colour, same with a pale grey shadow and a grey/white mix works just as well for a cold white.
Actually found this is easier to get a decent looking white that actually starting with a white primer then trying to shade it. The VMC "Pale Grey" Wash is good but then you end up highlighting anyway, this cuts out needing to wait for the wash to dry.
Tomorrow will see the red go on, currently planning a mid brown for the woods as a light wood won't work well with the white on the model and not really a fan of the bone coloured wood.
Did think of leaving the wood in black but not sure yet, will be the last things to get painted at this rate.
No idea how to use High Elves, but figure this won't impact game performance too much
