I'm building an Iyanden army, and am testing the yellow on a War Walker. For the yellow, I primed with Army Painter Daemonic Yellow spray, washed with Seraphim Sepia, then thin coats of Yriel Yellow followed by Gitz Yellow. The blue is a dark p3 color, followed by VGC Magic Blue and enchanted blue afterwards. Also, this is my first model to paint using a wet palette. I'll never go back, it's fantastic!

Pics of other units to follow, I'll update as I go.

Looks great so far!! Keep up the great work.

Thanks grogg! Wraithguard are up next. I'll have more photos of units in various stages as I go, and I'll try to improve the photo quality as well.

Next step, wash.

Wraithguard almost done, I'll throw a pic up soon. Apologies for the low res.

looking good!!

I have a yellow eldar army as well.

Do you have a wraithknight yet?

I do not, I'd have one if it were priced like the riptide, but since it isn't I'll have to wait to scoop up a deal on one. I do have a Wraithlord though. Washing it today.

Do you use Army Painter?

Yeah, I start with Army Painter Daemonic Yellow.

Moving along on this, and Wraithlord as well now. NMM on Wraithlord's glaive is a doozy.

I'm sure you will find a deal on the Wraithknight, as you are the king of craigslist!

Moving along here. Apologies for no white cyc - hard to try hard on pics when my phone's camera is so poor.

The Wraithlord - no macro on cell camera.

Nice. Is that a metallic blue on the wraith heads or do my eyes deceive? I like it and bases look good.

Excellent work! Love the color combination...and you've got a real talent for getting things SMOOTH!

The blue is Vallejo magic blue painted up to a lighter shade. I think any improvement in smoothness is due to use of a wet palette, which makes blending easier. Thanks for the compliments gents!

Tried a tiny bit on the photo. Camera is still worthless, but background is a little more interesting now.

These are table top ready, there's plenty of details and cleanup in their future. The Wraithguard will have glowing weaponry eventually. Looks like Dire Avengers are next in line once the Wave Serpent is completed.

War Walker based. Still need to go around the edge with black again.

PSH ! rookie painting ...



kidding! as usual Thokt the stuff looks great, can't wait to see it on the table!

fantastic iyandednn, nice job on the yellow

The yellow looks really nice, the wraith guard look really imposing. I think I'd like a darker blue, which I might try when I get some Eldar models.

They look great though and the bases look spot on

Nice, it makes me want to break out the Eldar I've had in a large box totally unassembled.

These guys are looking super smooth, nice work! looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for all the positive feedback! @Kelly502 just tape up that box and ship it to me! @noballgames i think a darker blue works! i started with a very deep blue, but because i had just started wet blending, couldn't resist blending up to a more electric blue.

After checking out the pics, I would like to do my Eldar this way. What did you use for primer, paints, and where can I get them?

@Fleshgod - they are primed with Army Painter Daemonic Yellow, washed with GW Seraphim Sepia, and then a base of thinned down GW Yriel Yellow. I use a wet palette (google-fu it), which makes for easy thinning and blending. After all that, I typically start highlighting, and Seraphi Sepia wash any joints or bits that may have been lost while adding yellow. The blue is a dark blue color from P3 (any dark blue will work), and then I wet blended up to a lighter blue (any light or electric blue will work).

I order stuff from TheWarStore, they carry the GW and Army Painter products, at a 20% discount.

Cool, thanks for all that info.

Completed a second squad of Wraithguard, this time with wraithcannons!

Awesome, looking ace, I've decided to re paint my Eldar after I got seven shades of yellow in one army.

Henceforth, all my pointy heads will be black!

Go for D-Scythes next, they're amazing

Haha, have fun! It's certainly easier to paint black over yellow than vice versa. The yellow can be a touch tricky!
