Finally finished the Wraithknight I got for Xmas... It's been a bit of a drag getting there - I get quite twitchy when I see a pot of Yriel Yellow now! If I'm being honest I think I could have maybe done better, but I'm quite pleased with the end result... It's table top quality I suppose... Anyway, your comments are appreciated as ever...

Edit: For your FYI, there are some WIP pics in my gallery

Really nice!!!

I especially like that green/gold scarab on the back of the model. Looks amazing.

Nice work! It's not easy to get yellow looking that good.

Awesome work, great job highlighting all of the 'bumps' (not sure if there's a name for them, I'm not up to scratch on my Eldar fluff). As the others have said, the yellow is exceptionally done and the back plate looks positively mystic.
One thing that doesn't completely click for me though is the helmet, the white looks just too flat. I don't know if you have access to an air brush, but I reckon if you're dead set on keeping it plain white that some pre-shading below the white layer to create a slight shadow up the middle of it would make all the difference.

Fantastic. A really clean and vibrant looking yellow, one of the hardest

Looking good! Solid paint job, looks clean.

Thanks for all the comments, much appreciated...

I'm pleased people have picked up on the back plate; I thought silver with a green glaze would pop more than the GW plain black method...

The method for painting the yellow did evolve as I went on... The legs & torso I did Averland Sunset then a sepia wash in the crevices CDs and round the bumps (no idea for the correct name - things out there to irritate I think) followed by painting Yriel Yellow in the gaps but that turned out to be so labour intensive I figured out what I should have done form the get go and did both yellow coats and then the wash which speeded things up no end. I think my yellow receptors are temporarily burned out now, so I'm going to be reverting to orks for a bit!

Well worth all that time and effort. Looks great!
