Here are my most recent painted miniatures, so they have my best paint jobs. I have a farseer, DA exarch, FD exarch, warlock, 2 rangers, 5 IG, Mahur and some uruk hai phalanx. I am still working on the rest of my rangers.

Very nice models. The eldar are very crisp, and almost appear glowing.

I like the guardsmen, though they seem simple they still look amazing on the fatigues.

@lunarghost-Those are the only guardsmen I have, I just wanted to test out that colour scheme, also thanks.
@TQSplinter-Thank you, the robes I just took my time an did a view layers and three different colours actually, it's not that hard.

The trick with the robes is to have sudden jumps in colour.

I really dig the Eldar colors, unique and vibrant. Also, the IG is very cool too, and I'm not normally an IG fan.
My personal favorite are your Rangers. All I can think of is maybe put some dark markings on the cloaks. Overall, very nice!

Thanks everyone, zoomdakkadakka is right about the robes. My favourite would have to be the ranger with the helemet.
@Klaivex What do you mean by dark markings, like eldar markings?

I think the gold on the eldar could use a bit of work, but asides from that minor gripe I like it (You certainly do red and orange better than I!  )

Aren't bigger pictures better though, you can see more, or does you computer not support it.

I really like the Eldar paint scheme (and the painting itself). It reminds me of the Fedayken from Dune.

Thanks guys, I used blazing orange and for the highlight (believe it or not) bronzed flesh. What is Fedayken?

Nice work! I agree with Jihalla, though, that the gold is a weak point. After all the nice blending and highlighting on the robes and armor, you get to the metallic bits and they just look like gold blobs (although some of that may be due to the photography). Perhaps picking out a few more details in non-metallic colors would help break up the shiny mass? I'm seeing oval bumps that could benefit from your snazzy gem treatment...
Speaking of gems, the horizontal top gem in your Farseer's staff appears to have a different light source than the rest of them. A most niggling point, but it's still constructive criticism.  Again, this is great stuff, over all.

Fix up the gold, give it a black wash, and a bit of a highlight, with a few touch up's it would look much better. Plain gold is kinda boring

Haha, yeah I did notice the gem on the staff, I made that mistake I gues I wasn't paying attention, but it can be fixed. I think the photography ruins the gold for sure becuase it looks really good.

Wow! Looks really good! The only thing I can suggest is working a little bit on your gold technique. It takes time, but eventually, you can get your golds to look a little less shiny.
Other than that, look really ace
