Finally completed two more of my new models, first up is the massive Wraithknight:



And a new Spirit Seer:



A quick size comparison:



And a comparison of the original test scheme:



C&C welcome as always.

I really like that blue color, what is it?

I love the color of the models. The wraith knights pose looks really awkward though.

Yeah sadly the lean seems to be a running trend on some of my models lately, I have adjusted the waist positioning to be leaning forward a little instead essentially coming over the ruin and looking down on those some way in the distance, he is also now looking almost directly in line with his right knee in more of an asending the ruin pose rather than an "oh no, my foot slipped" pose. The blue is a gradiant of airbrushed vallejo paints, will give a full list when I get to my desk.

That color combination is very unique and is pulled off VERY nicely here, it has the right temperature of being bold and still being rather menacing. I actually don't mind the pose at all, it is awkward a bit but that seems to tell some kind of story in the context of the model... neat stuff.

Love the writing on the wraithguard's face plate.

I really like the blue, and the red gems sit nicely on it, but I would recommend you try to really make the shininess of the gems pop - go really extreme on the highlighting, gloss varnish, whatever's needed.

Because - and I mean this in the nicest possible way - at the moment the Wraithknight looks kinda like a smurf with measles.

The bluesare model air going through the following:

Blue>French Blue> Light Sea Blue and edged in Pale Blue with GW Nightshade wash.

Point taken about the Soulstones, they do lose a certain edge over distance that a heavy gloss might bring back.

The gems could do with a much greater contrast between the lightest and darkest parts, maybe go as dark as black in places, but other than that this looks good.

I am not trying to be mean in any form. I know I'm not the best painter. However, it looks like your model has chicken pox or some massive attack of acne.

I really like them all.
The Spirit seer looks pretty solid, and the colours all fit together nicely.
Perhaps all of the oval stones on the knight need not have been painted red, but its no big deal, and you have to appreciate the effort.

Its something about the colours you use that make it look very classic eldar. Perhaps because you see forgeworld using a similar blue om their Eldar?

Actually I was thinking that the Wraithknight had some kind of STD with the jewels lol But otherwise very nice indeed.

Good work there. I do like the colours you have chosen and the results. I think the pose on the Wraith knight works ok. It isn't the pose I am using (I have one with the same weapons in production) but I think it looks good as pausing to aim it's weapons instead of leaping all over the place. Though leaping about is good, it's really all about personal preference.

I do really like the rune-script on the heads of the Wraithguard. It is very effective.

I really like the light blue, it definitely says 'Eldar'. I fully agree with the above posters about the red spirit stones, there should either be about 1/4 the number of them or they should be painted a different color (perhaps a dark blue would look nice?).

The wraithknight pose is poor, can you move the arms away from his torso and shift him a little bit so his back foot is fully on his base? If you aim his gun in the direction that his right foot is pointing, and pivot his head so he's looking that way, I think it would look a lot better.

One repose, hope it looks atleast passable:

I like the red stones, and the frequency of them, I think a menacing aspect of the appearance is the faux-infection of color, very striking and alien to the eye.
