Thanks for looking!



P.s it isn't quite finished, I'm aware the gems and trophies on his back are still black!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127745.page GMT My first Dark Eldar model, using only new paints... GW metallics too? I like the white on the helm... interested to see what he looks like based and completely finished!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127930.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127930.page GMT My first Dark Eldar model, using only new paints... http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127942.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127942.page GMT My first Dark Eldar model, using only new paints...
The green looks better in the flesh, it's actually a dark green highlighted with a bright one, and the dark one doesn't show so well. I may give it a green wash and see it it comes together a bit better!

Some games/lines/types of dioramas might use unpainted/flocked bases, and if that's the case it will undoubtedly still look neat and clean and finished and we'll be able to tell by context. But for most wargaming models a completed model means a completed and nice base too.


That said, you have some lovely effects there. Any thoughts on how the new paints differ from the old? (Can you take another picture under better lighting conditions?)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4127992.page GMT My first Dark Eldar model, using only new paints...
That said, I will never understand basing gaming models. It just looks so stupid when people play city based modeled on my grassy green field table. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4128071.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4128071.page GMT My first Dark Eldar model, using only new paints...
The new base paints are really good, they really do cover really well. Infact, they all paint really nicely and I've not had to do more than one layer of any colour. Unfortunately there is no dry orange so I'm using the base orange to dry and the highlight orange (jakero orange) to do the highlights. Do people think I should do a brighter edge?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4129208.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/441799/4129208.page GMT
