Hey there!

I recently bought some FW eldar Shadow Spectres, assembled them (unbending the lances) and primed them white.
Now I'm not sure of the way I should paint them. I thought I could paint the coth a dark blue and their armour with bleached bone or dheneb stone, and heavily washe it with devlan mud (I even considered trying to dip them -would it be a god idea?). I also think of painting the cristals using the OSL method.

I really need help there, so please, if you have an advice, tell me!

Any idea? Anyone?

If i were to paint them myself, id go for an obsidian (glossy black) armour with gold runes with a cream/off white cloth and pale blue OSL crystals/gems. Difficult to acheive though.

I think eldar look much better when they have been painted using layering/blending/crisp highlighting and havent been dipped/washed but thats my personal preference.

My 2p
