Again a new project, Iyanden Ghostwarriors. My favourite Craftworld is Ulthwe, but Iyanden always was a close second. So once the new plastic Wraithguard minis came out I bought a box, but since 40K 6th, 7th edition was for me unplayable the gathered dust. With 8th edition that changed! So time for a small new side project, maybe I will combine the minis in an Ynnari force with my Pirates!

Current Wave Serpent in my interpretation of the Iyanden colours. The dark blue used by GW was always a bit too harsh for me, I wanted a lighter faded, more Ghost like colour. So I used Averland Sunset Primer, Then some airbrush white highlights and finally the Anarchy stencil HS Dragon scales I used on my Pirates. The underside of the Serpent was spayed with a mixture of Macragge Blue and Temple Guard blue, the blue on the top is pure Temple Guard blue, mixed in white on the energy shield fins.

I did not used as much white edge highlights as usual for a more subtler approach. The Wraithguard is an old metal Guard painted as test for the colours.

Great work! I like the more muted tones of the blue and yellow. Very clean and definitely captures the feel of Iyanden.

Thanks! That was the goal...

Im really awestruck by your eldar range lately.
Not only the skills you posess, but the great taste in color tones you use.
You manage to give new and old models of different craftworlds, aspect shrines etc a unified and balanced style.
Its a delight to see.

I tip my hat to you sir.

These are really beautiful. Very well painted and attractive to look at - just what I imagine Eldar to be.

Big thanks Folks, you are welcome!

Couldn`t agree more. I am full of envy as to how quickly you do those amazing paintjobs. And -hell yeah- that is very tasteful Iyanden scheme with the "ghostly" pale blue.

Looking forward to facing them on the table...

Ditto on loving the more muted tones, looks really good

These Eldar are beautiful! The yellow is gorgeous and the highlights/shading are very subtle. If that plastic Wraithguard is what you call speed painting then I am thouroughly impressed. Keep up the good work!

Thanks again Folks, and yes the plastic Wraithgurad is done in around 1.5 h.
Spray primed yellow, then White, after that a yellow Citadel shade.
The yellow was more or less done!
