I like them. Repaints are always a mixed bag - sometimes they're just too far gone! But you've done a great job making these guys stick out a bit. Dull gray just doesn't work.

Looks great Slann! I haven't tried OSL effects yet - been a little intimidated honestly - but I like what you've done with the basing effects.

I would like to see the W'lord's body colors match the w'guard's a little closer, just to maintain consistency through the army, but that can be difficult to do especially if you've already returned them to the owner.

Oh, the BL affixed to the w'lord's arm titan-style.... pure win!

hey thanks all for the comments , Il be starting 3 wave serpents today .

Good Luck on those Wave Serpents!! Looking foward to them

Lovely looking models thus far, I hope your client is happy with the army you give back to him.What kind of rates do you charge people on a commission such as this(just for interests sake)?

This is such a large project there is special rates worked out , I still have a whole lot still has to be shipped to me , when its done its like , 20 wraith guard , 3 wraith lords , 4 tanks , bunch of guardians , harlies ,seers , farseers .

I give discounts on larger orders .

Just send me a PM for any real inquiry you might have .

This is some really nice work thats come along very well and it's been fun to watch these progress. I have to disagree with an elarlier post about the highlighting. I think they need the lighter tones, in the earlier darker base coat they looked unfinished to my eye.

I really like the fact you've tried to give them a real other worldly and ethereal feel, and the posing of the wraithlords is fantastic.

To be honest though some of the light sourcing is a bit extreme. On the Wraithlords it works very well but on some of the smaller figures its a bit too much, especially on the loin cloths. Have you considered blending the colours a bit more instead of using extreme highlighting?

For lighting effects a gradual blend or tint of colour can work really well as well.

P.S - I didn't realise this was a commision so maybe the harsh OSL effects are intentional due to charge and other limitations etc.

Thanks on the complements .

I would have liked ti blend the lighting a little better but it looks better in person , also on a loose time frame as well for it being a commission and all .

Really nice stuff mate
Im a fan of Eldar i just find there exspensive so ive never go into collecting them
bourght a few models though

Good job

S

more wave serpents !

Wow that fruit salad looks delicious.

And the models aren't bad either .

very nice eldar, a question how did you do the white/pearl areas, bone and white with a gloss varnish or something else?

Very nice work. Personally I think painting gems and such isnt really hard, but you did a great job on those as well. Nice glow effects and everything.

thanks all for the awesome comments , the fruit salad was really good lol .

The white wraith bone areas was worked up from bubonic brown all the way to white than glazed over with rotting flesh , and sealed with gloss varnish .

Converted a farseer to match the wraith guard theme

Loving it all honestly. Was taken aback by it.

The Farseer looks tasty. Is it a mutilated High Elf Mage by any chance?

I'm loving the way that you paint the streaking effect. I like it for your Guard, but IMO it seems to fit in with the Eldar better. Maybe it's just because the Eldar are about showcasing models and stuff. Ah, what the heck. I'm also liking the stars on the spear tip. Definately Eldar.

It took you less than a month to assemble/paint three Wave Serpents to that quality? Nicely done! Have fun with these commision guys.

You are my hero, James ... I cannot wait to see those close up.

Awesome stuff! Keep supplying pics!

Your use of gold is superb. It so hard to do gold nicely. As usual the detail is excellent.

love the blades my only complaint on this pic would be the NNM gold is a little rough in apperance.

The flash brings kinda washes out the the gradual change between the yellow and white , it looks better blended in person , but I see what you mean .

Also thanks for the great comments !

Very nice color scheme. I am sure the customer will be very pleased. Thanks for sharing

Well this lot is done , here is the rest of them .

Breathtaking mate
amazing job
i want your skills

You outdid yourself James. Very impressive indeed.

This army was a blast to work on cant wait for the next lot .

WOW - Id enjoy seeing that on the other side of the table!! well done
