				<title>Eldar color scheme and painting questions</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ OK, so I have a good size force of Eldar either already in my possession or on its way to me as we speak. It's mostly Wraiths and vehicles: Wraithknights, Wraithlords, Wraithguard/blades, and the standard vehicles. I'm trying to decide on the final color scheme for it and the best way to paint it. Here are my ideas for the color scheme: Turquoise and a medium purple. Most of the models will be turquoise and the weapons, some armor, and details will be purple and a bit of black. The paint I plan on using are: Reaper <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(602);'>HD</span> Bright Turquoise and Reaper <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(602);'>HD</span> Gem Purple. Both colors can be found on this page: <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/Paints/hd" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://www.reapermini.com/Paints/<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(602);'>hd</span></a><br /> <br /> I plan on priming all of my models white and airbrushing on the base color of turquoise. Then painting on the purple and black details. I plan on washing them with Reaper Black wash and highlighting. I then plan to base them using snow. I am not a good painter so I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. Here are my questions:<br /> <br /> 1. Should I use white primer for the turquoise? I want it to be as vivid as possible but have never used white primer before.<br /> 2. What brand of primer should I use?<br /> 3. Some of my plastic models were primer black and I am gonna start stripping them. Will the white primer cover the black primer that I am unable to remove?<br /> 4. Do you recommend Reaper <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(602);'>HD</span> paint? Will it work well with an airbrush?<br /> 5. Do you think Turquoise and Purple will work well together?<br /> 6. Is using a black wash the way to go? I prefer Reaper to Citadel because Reaper just looks cleaner while Citadel looks dirty and grimy (which is great if thats what you're going for). I want my Eldar to look smooth and clean.<br /> 7. How difficult is it to get a snow base to look good? Do you know of any good tutorials for idiots?<br /> <br /> Thank you in advance.]]></description>
