Ive almost finished my wraithlord today but I had a game so got delayed

It was 750 my eldar vs a nid army. Im pleased to say I won that 2 out of 2 now

Fantastic Ulthwe!

Over Easter I got a lot more done!

Here are the pics

Please note the bases are not done yet

while i love your scheme and the simplicity of achieving a great effect, you should definitely go over the cloak of your farseer again!

Making one grey line as accent on a black cloak doesn't look good, try to blend it, for a change, instead of just applying one basecolor and one very strong highlighting

I love the wraithlord.

Could you tell us exactly what the steps you used were for highlighting the black armor.

The colors, what order you went and the thickness/thinness of the paint and highlight?

thanks keep up the good work

When you klick on the pictures you get redirected to a bigger version.

My bet is: He simply sprays em black and then adds a line of grey to the edges. No real highlighting involved.

Saw these in person yesterday, great paint job on all figures

Yeah this is speed painted army. I have the deadline of the 2nd May to get the 750 done.

Its just sprayed black the codex grey on the extremes with a delvin mud wash to take the edge off.

Archone, im sorry if you don't like it but in person it looks much better, i guess thats the down side to high res shap pics, they see more than the eye does.

Its my birthday today do i think i will have a night off from painting

Thanks the the support though guys

Sorry if my post gave the wrong impression - the Scheme is simple and effective creating a beautiful effect with the black-bone combination of Ulthwe, I simply wanted to note that it's a simple technique, and not a bad one either!

Its a DCM conspiracy

Thanks for the comments

Well ive just ordered my Eldar titan and Avatar with spear! It was cheaper to get another Avatar with sword than pay for the carriage so I did that!

Woohoo im very excited as the email i just got says I will get it on Friday

It Begins, you are now addicted to eldar

omg how much did that cost you?????

deadly chicken wrote:omg how much did that cost you?????

The FW order was just over £250

So far the Eldar army (which if you remember was only meant to be a 750pt filler army) has cost £625

omg

There is no way I can afford forge world! i know that they are expenive but bloody hell. I get 3 pounds a week. i would take me over a year to save up that much!

Ok update time!

Ive finished my storm guardians so thats finally a legal army woohoo

Ive started my war walkers and hope to have them done by the weekend

Ive also started construction of my jet bike squad and almost up to 2000pts build now

However the delivery of my guard codex and models my stall this

Here are the pics please comment as this helps me keep going!

likin the bases and positions of the jetbikes and warwalkers.

the grey highlight id good too!

Modelling cover onto bases does not count towards giving your war walkers cover

What about my bikes



I wanted to add the base details to break up the black and bone

I hope when its all done and the snow etc is added it will tie the whole army together.

I love the dynamic positioning of the bikes on those bases. It really looks like they're blasting at full speed through a wrecked Imperial edifice with that split-second timing only those pointy-ears have. I can't wait to see those painted. The TLoS might give you a bit of trouble with the ones that are bouncing high over intervening walls but in my opinion the excellent basing should give them a 4+ awesome save.

Very nice I have always loved Eldar jet bikes.

Kudos on a simple paintjob well executed.

When you get round to assembling your titan I've got an article here on dakka on how I assembled my first one.

Looking forward to more - don't let the eldar take too much of a back seat to the Imp Guard.
