http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net when he leaves hospital in dezember we want to give him a "suprise" in form of a nice eldar army ready for an apoc game we set up.
I painted the first Crimson Hunter ( 2 more to go) in a scheme i think he is gonna like, cause he loves popping colours and airbrush effects like nebula etc.
However, after looking at the gems im unsure how to paint them.
i was thinking maybe doing them in a fiery theme, whatever some people say that wont match.
maybe pinkish?
also the base is giving me headache, i have absolutly no idea how to do those on this one.

anyone got ideas?


sorry the pictures are a bit grainy

For the base, just have it match the rest of the army IMHO.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8045093.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8045093.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8045565.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8045565.page GMT

best of luck to your friend, and your project. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8046364.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8046364.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8047922.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8047922.page GMT apoc game going to be played on? You could base to match. What’s the rest of the army going to be?

With the palette you are working with, I’m not sure what would match up well for a base. My knee-jerk reaction is “anything but green” although I think browns might be out as well. I’d go with something grey/white. Possibly urban ruins, ash wastes, lava/demon, or arctic.

YMMV, I’m one of the last people you want to talk to about basing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8048040.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/659745/8048040.page GMT
