A few Eldar models I was working on. I've since completed 2 more Wraithguard as a sort of retinue for the Farseer. Whatcha think?


Thanks!

Like it. Pics are a bit hazy, but the red and Purple seem to work well with each other.

I like it. The colors work well together.

The bases are cool too.

While I think both colors would benefit from a wash and/or drybrush, I like the look. It's not very traditionally eldar-ish, but that's not in any way a negative thing.

The one thing I'm not wild about is painting the main helmet red, with bone trim. If it were me, I'd paint the helmet bone, with either red or purple trim. Or even purple with bone trim.

As far as colors go, the purple is built up from Fenris Grey to Liche Purple followed by a Shadow Grey drybrushing and lastly a Leviathan Purple wash, while the red is Mechrite Red, Red Gore and a Blood Red drybrush followed by a Baal Red wash and Blood Red highlights. The bone is Khemri Brown, Bleached Bone drybrush, Skull White drybrushN with an Ogryn Flesh wash and Skull White drybrushed highlights.
So, I do utilize various techniques to answer that post.

Thanks for the feedback!!

I think it looks good, maybe it could use a third contrasting color though to really make it pop
