I think I might be on to something, but I need some input:   Click here for the full 779x499 image.  Click here for the full 628x450 image. The one-armed Outrider is just for scale. I've got five more, so if it looks right the question becomes - Should I use them for Outriders/Pistoliers, knights, or Wood Elf riders?

Welp, I wish you guys had posted all these awesome pictures back when I was deciding on color schemes.  Just kidding, I've not got a much better idea of what I'm trying to achieve. Thanks, Stalin

I wish I could settle on a scheme for my Eldar. Ever since the latest codex I've been trying to find something that works and nothing feels quite right. I've tried Ulthwe (black is both irritating and boring, especially on their vehicles) and Biel Tan (white is a dick and I can't freehand those vines at all). I have a Saim Hann scheme that's easy enough to do and doesn't look poo poo, although it is a bit cartoony, but I'm not sure it's something I want to do across an army. Iyanden are cool, I like the look/theme of the wraith units, and I think I could pull off the yellow, but I don't know how I'd make their vehicles look good. I've tried some non-codex colours but I just can't seem to find the right balance between cartoony and cool. I seem to be lacking the artistic creativity that results in something, like my friend's purple guys, that looks good and translates from the infantry to the vehicles.  Looking online for inspiration is a bit of a dead end because Eldar seem to be either amazing and/or esoteric, or sprayed silver all over by a spastic. TLDR I am an indecisive, uncreative arse.

bhsman, don't feel too bad about washing out your Farseer with clearcoat. I think I just did the same to a Land Raider.  Edit: Yep. Grayed as gently caress. So I've got this paint-on stuff that I might try to use to fix it. Do you have to do this right away, or wait until it's dried for a couple hours, or what?

PaintVagrant, just noticed a couple of things on your new site. 1. Under Basing Products, the basic kit has 2 drop-down menu options for static grass, but the description says you only get one. 2. Small typo under Commissions in the Display description: quote:Included:

Christ. Check out the greying on this from the matte coat: Before:  After:  The lascannon barrel tips and the hatches are supposed to be just straight tin bitz, but they're completely greyed out. So I've applied some of this stuff:  And we'll see how that goes. Fix fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 3, 2010 |

MasterSlowPoke posted:If the varnish skunked up it's already dry. Try putting some water on the ruined parts - if the grey clears up it's fixable by revarnishing. The paint-on varnish I put on there seemed to do the trick, mostly. A little bit of touchup here and there, and it will be good as new again.  I also put on some satin-gloss over the blue. So you can see how matte the Cryla stuff dries on the black and metals. Freakin' love that stuff.  That way it matches up with the rest of my Heavy Support for this army:

Brainstorming Wraithlord ideas. How does this look to you guys:  Thinking of doing a similar conversion for my Wraithlord. The alternative would be to mess around and go for the weapons mounted on his forearms and going for a Dire Avengers Exarch look. Thoughts?

Where can I get some heads from for my Errant Knights? I want all my Errants to have bare heads, meaning I'm looking for some place to get younger-looking, clean shaven heads. Ive got 3 from random kits I can use, meaning I need another 5.

I think the new Wraithlord plastic kit is one of the best they've ever made. No matter how you set it up, it always looks imposing, terrifying, and fantastic. Cue 30 images of them with boobs, fallen to chaos, etc. to prove me wrong

I have nowhere else to post this so it's going up here. I just forked out a fair chunk of change for this steampunk weapon.  The barrels / pressure chambers are really rather badly painted and i'd love to redo them but i'd probably gently caress them up even worse so it's just going to stay as it is til i feel confident it's something i could realistically fix.

Ive decided that I'm (probably) going to go with Saim-Hann and actually get some space mincers painted. I'm using a white UC, basecoating blood red, blacklining/shading with dark flesh, and highlighting blazing orange then vomit brown. My question is, to add a bit of richness to the red, more on vehicles/walkers then men, should I glaze with dark flesh or something like that ?

Personally I just try to keep the blending to a minimum on the highlights, and instead blend in a few layers of shades. The more highlighting, the more orange/pink it gets
