SO... I am wondering what would look better out of these three paint job ideas for Eldar?

1. Green with red helmet or faceplate

2. Green that transitions to yellow

3. Green with a greyish blue like space wolves grey or something like that.

I hope you guys can tolerate me for a little bit longer until I can finally settle on a paint scheme that grabs me.

Edit: I am looking at a dark green that will either transition to moot green but that might be too bright maybe, I feel like it would look terrible but I wonder if I can do something a bit unorthodox like dark green that transitions to like bone or something...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392662.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392662.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392843.page GMT
If it looks good that is... This will require the most effort I have placed into painting these stupid guardians or any model yet I am thinking or maybe it is gonna be meh and I am way over hyping it ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392897.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392897.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392961.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6392961.page GMT
How can I turn this stuff into something like a gw wash?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6395656.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6395656.page GMT
If you can find them the army painter "inks" are actually washes, and match the old gw washes....they are quite amazing as well.

Or try ordering some various washes on line.

best of luck with the mini!!!!

(Lol wow ONE color that's impressive, I think it was Majestic blue?)

But since I am impatient could I just thin down badab black or nuln oil and use that? What If I thin the badab black and add some grey paint would it still serve the purpose that I seek?

Or should I stop acting like a mad 6 year old that wants the candy now and order the proper washes?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400040.page GMT Or should I stop acting like a mad 6 year old that wants the candy now and order the proper washes?

You may have answered your question. lol

White is hard at the best of times but things like good washes make life simpler...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400101.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400101.page GMT I can just make my own wash with Lester's wash recipe!

All I need is some matt medium and ink since I have everything else, now should I get FW Cool Grey or FW Payne's Grey? I feel Payne's Grey could be too dark but I don't know if that would be toned down when thinned down for the wash. Any thoughts for which one I would need for my shopping list for when I get off work?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400210.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400210.page GMT Id personally go with the darker one as the contrast is nicer. Although I start my models primed black, build 3 different grey highlights then thin layers of white for preshade. I then pin wash (on stain) with a black oil wash which really 'pops' the white.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400430.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6400430.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402052.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402052.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402064.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402064.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/571079/6402463.page GMT
