Deadlifts doing Iyanden

[eldargal]

Gems are a pain, most eldar players I know took a long time to get the hang of doing them.

HI Deadlift. Love the colours and the blending.

I take it that the blending on the head was done with an airbrush as well?

remember though not all the nodes are actually gems... the way i think of it if it has a setting, its a gem. if not its just a 'worky bit of gubbinz'

Yep, what takes ages by hand is mere seconds with an airbrush . I have been looking for a longtime at an army I can basically mostly airbrush and as a fan of the wraith fluff, Iyanden fit the bill. I did do a necron army but didn't really gel with the new Necron aesthetic as I was painting. The army looked nice but ultimately ended up making me some money on eBay.

Thanks Cpt Codpiece, I think for now I will just continue painting the stones on the shoulders and the big ones on the legs. That's enough I think.

All looks amazing, looking forward to the rest!

I paint everything vaguely gem shaped as a gem. So much fun.

i thought i had posted earlier in the thread but i must have dropped my connection
i meant to say great airbrush work deadlift, the blue is sweet and i love the yellow.... may have to track a UK stockist of minitaire
the table is looking great too, really liking the lava...... making me want a RoB so bad now but i have a 4x4 board that im gonna foam up and do a city board

as for the bumps... (i know im going over it again) i too used to try and get every bump a gem till i read it in the WD when the falcon came out and did a half mag article on its making seeing the pantograph and Jes' balsa mock ups for it and the vyper.... in said article Jes pointed out that the bumps were not all gems but rather the actual tech of the eldar, so they were like sensors or gyros' or other futuristic gubbins

from that day its been if it was in a setting it was a gem

Thanks for all your comments guys.

Well I have nearly finished the 1st batch of wraith guard, still debating on adding a "glow" to the gun barrels but not sure. I'm not adding transfers until maybe after my 1st 1000pts are done.
A little touching up needs doing on the black of the guns too, just noticed in the photo, oh well

[Minibem]

Damn! They look impressive!

The bases look good.

Can't wait to see the whole army!

[energongoodie]

I'd like to see the glow
