I'm having a foot army being put together and i'm wondering if whether I should Paint Ulthewe or Iyanden, both schemes I love but I also want something that can be done a bit quicker but come out much nicer. Also, my hq's are eldrad and Maugen Ra and i'm running 40 guardians and 3 squads of dark reapers. Also, what paints should I use for etheir or and what type of techiniques should I look into applying to really make the infantry 'pop' i guess.

As a fan of the background of the Eldar, I believe that Eldrad is Ulthwe . . . so that looks right for you. Also the color scheme is nice (even though I play Iyanden personnally)

If you're looking for a quick painting army then thake Ulthwe. The yellow of Iyanden would take a lot of time and patience to paint. Also, if you arre taking Eldrad and a lot of Guardians then it is a very fluffy list!

Alright, for Ulthewe then, what are the colors most of you would recommned then? I'm pretty sure it's more then just, spray paint black and add white trim

I would actually spray white first then paint bone color and then black as white is pain in the ass to paint especially over black.

can you give me any good white sprays that you might of used, I have used two different kinds before but wonder if you know any that might be better

I have an ulthwe army, I use a black basecoat, the bone is done with komando khaki over dheneb stone, washed with heavily watered down snakebite leather (the equivalent wash might be gryphonne sepia), and tidied up with more khaki.

hm, alright. so you did black undercoat then,

Black undercoat, yes. But if I weren't using foundation paints, I'd use white. If you want some more colour in your squads, red and yellow are Ulthwe's other colours.
