Ok so I'm going to post photos if the main scheme for my army and I want my guardians to look different like they should with them being in my
Opinion a different aspect of eldar


So from these photos and using only a 2 color scheme I like to keep it simple which GW paints would y'all recommend

I'd like to split it up like you see the other bike already

Wraithguard

Wave serpent fire prisms

Current jet bike

So you're asking for opinions on how to paint the Guardian pilot of the Jetbike? You want them to look a little different?

Right now looking at your colors you're using:

Grey
Red
Black
Silver

So at this point your main thing to consider is whether you want to paint the Guardians using these colors, or add a completely new color to your Eldar palette?

With your existing colors, I'd suggest painting the body of the Guardian grey, and the helmet red. Another suggestion along those lines would be to paint the body a lighter grey than what you've been using on your vehicles so far.

To do this, I'd suggest getting a pot of Celestra Grey and Nuln Oil as a wash. You seem like a fairly new painter, working with just a few colors. So what you would do is paint the body of the Guardian with the Grey, and then paint the Wash over it. The wash will give the body of your Guardian all the shadows that it needs and make the grey a little darker.

Another idea would be to use a dark red as the body for your Guardians, such as Khorne Red. Then do black helmets with grey faceplates. An Orange might go well too.

Hope that helps! Your first eldar models look good!

Well I'm a veteran painter in fantasy but I'm new to 40k so I'm keeping it simple but I do like your ideas for gray and black guardians

And my question is how to paint the bike itself and the guardians
