Here are my first paintings on tanks.
My Eldar Falcon and Wave serpant.

I still need to touch them up but this is what I have so far. "Tips Appreciated."


Also here is my first ever painted model.
Its my Farseer. I have a lot more to touch up.
I decided to just get the basecolors and everything laid out on every model. Then go back through and do the touch ups.

^^Wave SerpEnt

The scheme is good, lines are neat, but maybe a lighter contrast colour just to make it stand out more? Unless of course you are going for a much darker, more subdued look.

You could perhaps include that on the gemstones if you didnt want to on the main plates of the armour.

@ Bok_Choy What ever hahahaha.
I always misspell it. So I eventually gave up. Sometimes I remember

@Reanimator Yes I was going to make the gems like an orange. And the outlining colors is a chain mail mixed with a pink. So its a shiny color.
What would you do instead of the pinkish looking color in the armor? I couldn't find a good contrasting color for it.

I once tried a similar colour scheme with black white and purple on eldar which looked sharp, but, you might like to have something different from a saim hann but with purple instead of red. A good contrast, in small doses, is a bright green,, applied very carefully to certain very small parts. It's definitely eye catching, but you might find it too bright if you want a more subtle scheme.

I added just some small white lines and such to the models and it makes it pop a little more.

Very nicely painted!
