Awesome!

Cant help but feel the marines could do with a bit more weathering though, they seem a bit clean next to those fantastically gritty Rhinos.

I tried a test mini weathered but it looked way too busy due to all the accessories the SW have.

I stuck to weathering the bottom of the legs with dried mud and thats about it.

I think the terminators I'll do soon will have chips etc on them as the surface area is bigger.

What colours are you using for the wolves man? This is exactly what I've been looking for!

The basecoat and subsequent highlights are airbrushed on using zenithal highlighting.

I use: Vallejo (model air) USA Grey , White, French Blue and black.

I start with a very dark blue/grey all over the mini then keep adding grey and white. The final highlight on the top surfaces is a very pale grey. I usually do about 4/5 stages from the dark colour to highlight in total. The middle tone would be something like : 60% Grey / 30% white / 10% blue. Its very much an educated guess when i do it as i'm continually adding to the airbrush directly as i go.

I've recently been using Tamiya colours in the equiv colours and found them to be much smoother and less likely to clog.

If you don't use Vallejo Model Air/Tamiya or own an airbrush you could use this site for GW equiv to brush on: http://colors.silicon-dragons.com/full_line.php

Me and my friend are picking up an airbrush next month. Will be looking at experiment on how to pick up this scheme, its gorgeous! Thank you for the step by step.

This is some great stuff and I love our work. Really great job on everything here!

Absolutely amazing on the Eldar. What colors did you use for the weapns?

Thanks, the grav tanks weapons were done in brown tones and metallics. I can't remember exactly which paints but the were Vallejo Game Colour. I washed them with devlan mud for shading.

After a break I'm back airbrushing some Eldar again. This time its Dark Eldar and I'm going for some fluffy list building in the form of the Kabal of the Flayed Skull. Lots of Reavers, Venoms and aircraft. Should be fun and challenging to play....

Here's a WIP pic of the stuff I've started:

Just final highlights, highlights on the details, battle damage and the Venoms canopy to finish.

While I've been slowly painting my Dark Eldar army up I've been assembling and painting a Vampire Counts army for WFB. I'm doing a little more on the VC stuff to get them finished first so I can play them first. Hopefully next month. I've painted the pictured Terrorgheist and assembled 10 Dire Wolves, a Necromancer and a Cairn Wraith which are next in the paint queue. Then its 20 Zombies.

Holy crap, that was a year ago? Wow!

To update I've sold all my minis and taken some time out from the hobby to move house twice and deal with some real life stuff.

I'm back now and just in time for a Wood Elves army More on that soon......

In the meantime I've been painting up an AdMech Knight for 40k to sell. Its on my other P&M Blog if you're interested. That should be finished this weekend and sold next week.

Really like your work on those eldar.
