Howdy chaps and chapettes, I have just finished this Eldar Ulthwe army at Golem Painting Studio and thought I’d share it with you guys. I figured I’d start slow and build up to a massive crescendo…
Here is the first batch, Guardians and Dire Avengers




Enjoy and feel free to criticise away.

Nice work. Is it just the pictures, or are the crests on the Avengers a little monotone? Would either a dark wash or a light drybrush give them a little more definition?

I love how you've used purple to shade the bone. Color theory works, people

Very nice start on an Ulthwe' army. Looking forward to more.

I like the colour of the bone myself.
Nice job!

Thanks for the comments guys, the plumage on the avengers does look a little flat in the photo - hopefully i can get some slightly better pics of them when I do the full army shot.

Anyways onwards and upwards (literally)


Hope you like them, I am not normally a fan of painting vehicles but these came out fairly well I think

Let me know what you think

George

hello again ladies and gents... been a little busy with festivities and so I have let this thread fall into neglect but never fear... a new update is here

Here we have the wratit guard and wraith blades. Such a great kit and I had loads of fun with it.



Hope you like them... many gems

Comments and criticism welcome

George, that is some good looking Eldar you have.
Well done.

I have been called so many things in my life, but this is a first.
Just hope you deliver on your promise, I want the big folks.

Wow, now they are some nicely painted miniatures - well done. Especially like the bone work.

Great stuff on the Wraith-people. Looking forward to the big'uns.

Its alive...

Hi guys, thought id bring this one back with pics of the rest of the army. Had a busy couple of months and forgot all about these guys.

Better late than never








As always, comment, criticisms and questions are very welcome

Cheers

Lovely work so far. The models have a lot of depth to them.

These are exceptionally well done, i am prepared to write out a check right this instant for this army! LOL!

The gems are just exquisitely done, and we all know what a tedious laborious task these are to paint.

please, more-

Incredible work!

The attention to detail is outstanding! Every gem is painted (kudos), all while keeping with a uniform style execute with very smooth blending! This army is definitely showcase worthy.

My favourite units are the wraithguard, war walkers and the wraithknight with the blue gems!

The only small thing which I could see improved would be that the eyes on the guardian and dire avenger models seem to be flat red, which don't match the detail on the rest of the models. I would paint these up like a gem to finalize the models.

Fantastic work! I especially love how the melee-oriented guys have red gems, while the shooty guys have blue ones. It's a small detail, but it makes a huge difference.

Do you mind if I steal all of your talent? You don't? Awesome, thanks!

Very nice. I really like the blending of airbrush and traditional brushwork. The army fits the Ulthwe' theme very well and great work to make black work for the tabletop; a difficult color to ensure details don't get lost on a model.

The gemstones are frigging excellent.

Very cool and a very nice job. Way to go.
