Welcome, this is kindof a painting blog as I will be updating my new stuff every so often.
I am looking for advise on how to improve and ideas in general for anything painting, converting, army composition, whatever

So first up heres a list of the models I have and what condition they are in

1 Eldrad (Painted in the Wrong scheme must repaint)
1 Autarch on Jetbike (Painted for the most part)
1 Falcon (Painted for the most part)
1 Wave Serpent (Painted for the most part)
1 WarWalker (Primed Black)
10 Guardians (Primed Black)
16 Dire Avengers (Primed Black)
10 Striking Scorpions (Primed Black)
8 Howling Banshees (7 Primed Black 1 Painted)
10 Rangers (Painted by someone else but will keep)


So heres the first thing I painted the Falcon







Rangers







Howling Banshee



The Mismatching Eldrad




A little Guardian Conversion for a Champion of sorts.

From what I can tell they look decent it might be me but it looks like eldrad needs some washes. Also, what kind of camera are you using?

Pictures are a little blurry... try using a lamp and have a white background using computer paper or something. From what I can see it looks pretty good. Keep up the good work.

I am going to work on Better pic quality with the next batch, I think I was taking the pics to close cause in the last photo you can see the models in the background pretty good.

Alright I fixed the Autarch as best as I could he was very scratchy which is weird way to describe the model but when I recieved him the jetbike felt like sandpaper rather than smooth.


Autarch on Jetbike




Falcon REDONE PICS





Wave Serpent

Why all the spoilers they make it very annoying and will lead to less people taking the time to look at them all.

I actually thought they would help it seemed as though I had a clutter of pics that covered the screen.

Thought my monitor was on the blink for a second there.

I think you could benefit from reading this...

Wow thats a lot of stuff for a picture, I suppose I get the jist of it, I will try to take a better batch of photos when I finish my warwalker

I like the blue, black and purple scheme you've got going on. Makes me wanna go paint my Wave Serpent but it's not even built yet. :(

In the morning I shall post my Painted Warwalker and Farseer I will try my best for the good quality pics that you all deserve and I have failed to give.

Looks good. I like that blue on the black tanks.

Warwalker

I have to be honest: I'm not a fan of your colour scheme, I like my Eldar Bright unfortunately.

That being said: I like your Eldrad, from what I can see it's a very nicely painted mini and the colours go well together.

Will watch this blog intently.

Iranna.

Here a Tyranid Termagaunt I did for my 8 year old Niece she chose the color scheme




Also the Farseer and Eldrad

I have to agree with Iranna, I actually prefer the scheme you have on Eldrad, I really like his colours. I just hope this isn't a downer in some way...

I didnt paint him, a better painter did lol. I wanted to Do the army in Blue since I really like the Enchanted Blue Color.

Perhaps there is a way to make the Black parts look better perhaps Highlighting the edges Gray would make the whole model pop a little more? what do you guys think?

I find that a great edge highlight for black is Fenris grey.

but should I do that is my question or will it look too cartoony?

I doubt that. I have done it on a lot on my black areas, and it certainly don't look cartoony.
