I'm hoping someone could channel their inner bob ross and help me make a paint by numbers style checklist to painting the models to look like that. I have regular brushes as well as an air brush and whatever colours I need.

Thanks in advance for any help I can get!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168089.page GMT Re:painting help please - tutorial http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168094.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168094.page GMT painting help please - tutorial
I think you will have to do some experiments.

If you want an icy frosty look Green Stuff World have a frost liquid that makes little icicles form where you drop it]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168135.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168135.page GMT painting help please - tutorial http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168160.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168160.page GMT painting help please - tutorial

I can’t help with the paint by number but there is definitely some airbrushing going on in those photos, infact the mor with look at the first one the more I think it’s all airbrushing.

Oh thanks I'll take a look at those icicles.

I'm smart enough to know theres a proper process but dumb enough not to know what it is.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168959.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/799604/11168959.page GMT Re:painting help please - tutorial
I recommend that you pick a bunch of test models, whatever models really. It doesn't matter if they are Eldar or even GW. Best something with organic, i.e. round shapes, to echo the Eldar shapes. Use those models as your test subjects while you refine your method to painting these models.

In general, you want to prime the model black, then apply a zenital highlight with white primer or white ink. Then apply the blue and green colors of your choice thinned down for transparency over that. Watch out, some of the sea blue paints do contain white pigments and have extreme coverage, which you don't want here.

You can get yourself inspired regarding specific colors to use with the videos below:
