They will both be on the biel tan scheme and will carry a different kind of stencil work each.

A little info on the painting process along with some pics.

After assembling and priming black I went on with the airbrush and hit with white all the raised areas where highlights will be. Below you can see pics with half the model done and then all of it complete.









Then I used really thin VGC Dark Green (72028) and went over the mini until I got a good coverage. Areas hit with white appear brighter and vice versa.





Both of the above steps allow for an amount of sloppiness since they are just meant to help with shadows and highlights later on.

More updates really soon ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6665251.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6665251.page GMT Re:Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP





Now I have to finish the white in the belly (which is such a pain to get nice and smooth) and then do the stencil work .

More to come tomorrow ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6668610.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6668610.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP

Airsick stencils.. Not the best regarding customer's care but they make pretty nifty stencils .


also pretty damn expensive if im not mistaken :/ ive been really unimpressed with how expensive stencils are in general, especially considering its basically a piece of laser cut acetate. I like the stencil, but not sure what effect your trying to achieve, or the reasons for the colour choice? Care to walk us through the decision process?

Ive been making a few of my own stencils and its been really quite fun. ive also found that you can find some cheap stencils if you move away from minature specific companies. Ive used : kids face paint stencils (got like 100 for £5 or something rediculous - although obviously fairies and tigers aren't always useful )]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6680903.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6680903.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP I went over it with tamiya clear red used through the airbrush in order to bring the redness back.

I too have made some of my own stencils, since airsick stencils are pretty expensive. You can look them up on ebay and buy them for about half the price on an auction.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681002.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681002.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP

This is supposed to be some kind of rock effect. The colors chosen where hull red, italian red, orange and golden yellow but the outcome on green was, as expected brown. I am trying to brake up the total green of the model and I don't know yet if I like it or I hate it.

ah ok cool, il check out ebay nice tip

hmm, what made you pick rock? I like the idea of breaking up the green uniformity. But not sure the rock effect works in terms of overall look. They look good on there own in terms of the colours changing. any other ideas? Like making a stencil or the biel Tan sigil or something? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681039.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681039.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP

You sure didn't choose a simple concept to visualise though, lol.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681155.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681155.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP
Yeah the concept isn't simple but I really like doing weird things with eldar.

Wait till you see the concept on the next crimson hunter .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681167.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681167.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP

well if you like funky things I say go for it! definitely not wanting to stiffle your creativity. I agree with a few of the other posts. Visual streaks and a thinning towards the back. So whats the concept for the next crimson hunter? I plan on using the high elf fmaing bird as the crimson hunter for my harle force.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681323.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6681323.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP

Well lets say I thought of an alternative to the biel tan thorn pattern .

The crimson hunter is almost done. I will try to get some descent pics of it tonight and post them here .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6692745.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6692745.page GMT Re:Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP .

Well I painted the belly the weapons and now I have to think of an effect on the engines and apply oil washes along with some weathering.









I am over the neck with grey knights so I am gonna post some picks of them in WIP .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6708217.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6708217.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6708229.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6708229.page GMT Biel Tan Crimson Hunter WIP the gradual and feint fading has come off wonderfully! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6711122.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/586677/6711122.page GMT
