Pic attached. Sorry for the bad quality, but it's the best I can get. Will try to improve the pic a little tomorrow. The legs are supposed to be the same red that the other stuff is.

Maybe use some orange on the gemstones to bring them out more. Same thing with the hose from the gun, a different shade would probably be all you really need.

Honestly though, it looks good. I like the nice, dark red tone and the highlight on the front stock of the gun just works.

Paint the gems and hose!!!

Sizzling orange, electric green, ice blue, slippery pink.
Anything bright will look ace and add much needed finish to an already great looking model!

Personally i think pink gem stones and a pinkish highlight would do it

Yeah, I left the gemstones out for this one just because this was only a color scheme test...but from your comments I suspect it's good enough, so I'll paint up the gems and get a new pic.


P.S. Is that L from Death Note on your avatar?

Picture quality's better than half of mine come out, so you're doing something right. And the color scheme is swank too.

i never do like metal on eldar. i havnt used a single metallic colour in my craftworld iyanden.

Lessons learnt today:

- Guardians are THE pain in the arse.
- Do NOT go anywhere near your painting area if you're wearing your favourite jeans.

Here's the improved Guardian. Hope ya like it.

You could use some black wash on the other metal parts too, not too much, just enough to give it a bit more depth.

I won't bother.
