Eldar Painting Blog: May 16th - THE END

wow man these are truly beautiful. honestly the bases blow me away the snow looks great! i am not so big on painting so its really hard to give you any pointers on your skill.. but i like the craftworld color scheme kinda looks like a mix between lugganath and altansar.. kinda lol. is the entire army going to be based the same way? if so it would look awesome if some of them had snow on the armor. maybe rangers or someone who isnt necessarily in an action position. can't wait to see the exarch as he is really the piece de resistance of any aspect warrior group.. and terribly fun to paint. (i save him(her in the banshees case) for last, too

..hey, thanks!

You can see there are touch ups still needed on gun tips and such.
I was reminded of some missing Aspect decals so once I hit that up I'll repost them.

Looking good man-o

Not much of a fan of the faceplates though... the brown just seems really drab.

I hear ya.. appreciate the thoughts my man

So then, the test model had them white which was a bit much. Wanted to stay away from grey or blue. I then actually went for drab seeing as it fell within the black helmet. The 2nd squad will be differentiated by the faceplate meaning a brown-yellow or olive. Either should work fine with the dead grass. Anyways, hope that explains my thoughts a bit. Plus I needed to get on with them already

Have you tried bone? Not sure how it will look with the rest of the scheme but it might be nice.

Sure, we'll give it a go on the 2nd squad and see how it looks. Thanks.

looking at the rangefinder, the sash/cape, and some of the details, i wonder if a nice green might do the trick on the faceplate of the helmet.

either way, squad already looks a+

(this is why i stuck to only 3 or 4 colors lol)

Well, I'm up to 6 girls now.. woot!

Quick sample..


Group shot..


Booty shot..

#7 and #8

Stayed away from the grass for balance. This leaves one more Trooper who needed a glue repair, and of course the twin Exarchs.

Next week I'll tackle a 2nd Guardian squad.. yippee

Looking very nice

A scheme Harlequin to simply time myself. Tricky little models..

yea dude these things are total bastards to paint!

honestly take all of your brightest colors and just go to *town*. wash with this, highlight with that. i dont know if its really possible to have a "scheme" with them... i mean i have seen it done but they look less like harlequins and more like troops. its really whatever look u are goin for.

looks nice so far though!

Half of the 2nd Guardian squad..

i think they all look great keep it up!!

Would you hurry up and finish. It is sooo embarassing having 2ed Orcs pretending to be Harlequins kick my azz.

They look great btw.

yeah im tired of seeing them and ive had to put up with them longer
