Excellent result. Looks great, in the end I think it's kinda added to the effect of "ancient". Looks good.

Now let's see overdrive mode please.

Yeah, one of those actually happy accidents as it does look weathered more and been through a long time of fights.

Right. Back to that skinny pedal. Barely have 2 weeks to get this project done.

Left to finish:
2 spirit seers
15 wraith guard
3 wave serpents
6 jet bikes
1 wraith knight

Lets do this!

Items completed
1 Farseer
1 wraith knight

Ok I want his cloak, looks bloody amazing dude, love that colour.

Thank you! I kinda went crazy with symbols.

Is that an elven decal??? Looks amazing... Pics like these show us we have to have faith in you to complete to the schedule in quite extraordinary way!
By the way...is the blade nmm? Wow!!!

Nice work Panda. Looking good.
The weapon, and the dirt on him is very effective.

Love the singing spear and the rest of the model is gorgeous as well.

Never seen Eldar who have been weathered. It's really original and looks great!

Mostly NMM, I started off with a lead belcher base, and then used greys to make all the shimmer to a white. Those are indeed decals. Not ashamed really, those things are tough to get to look right.

Thanks, I was worried you guys wouldn't like the weapon turns out I worry to much.

yeah, weathered Eldar are rare, and I want mine to look old/really dirty. I am glad you think so!

You worry too much, period.

Now that is one bass-add farseer!

Hey all,

Text update for now, pics will be posted later..

So I sat down and painted from about 7p.m until bed time, and got a squad of wraith guard about 60% completed... nice to know I spending about an hour a model. Then again when the core of your army is 15 models

Yeah, I will finish that unit tonight, homework barring.

Is it later yet?

An hour a model is quick, I take a minimum of 2 hours on a "quick" SM, and that's with production lining them and not trying anything fancy on them...

Always takes longer than you expect.

Yeah, definitely know that feel. I have painted 3 horde armies.. quick and dirty cuts out a lot of love.

I am using some more Eldar symbols on the head, and it kinda looks like a small screaming face... thanks internet... I will see If I can some more decoration to undo such effect.
Production line painting feels the most effective however, while your work takes longer, when you finish you have a unit done. Nothing to complain about there. I am debating if I want to paint every single lump on the wraith vane (spike back thing) as a soul stone or note. I am slightly reluctant to even paint one soul stone on them.

Reason is they are built to be a tank, and are powered by a soul stone. It wouldn't make sense for them to have their power source on the outside exposed. (However, I have already painted the wraith knight said way) I leaning towards the yes I should, and just get over myself.

You could always do some of the bumps as gems and leave others as control packs, or battery packs, or whatever the Eldar may use.

I don't do all the bumps on my Eldar for that reason, doing all of them just seems a bit too many (bling-wise, not painting-wise) in some cases.

This is just the stumpy bit on the back, the body I typically leave alone.

here is that photo dump. Also, no solo rocks, because I like to stray from the pack.

Very nice panda, very nice. I feel you on the hoard armies. I may try something different on my next project too. May change the way I paint. Anyway, I can tell yours skills have really improved since Volra.

Good work Panda. Nice grubbiness.

Thanks 40k, means more than you think.

Horde armies are fun. What are you going to change on your paint?

Filthy glass ninjas you have there

I'm going to try and do what you appear to have done, change the way I paint these guys. I'm looking at highlights, lighter colors, stuff like that.
