I've changed the list I want for my first 1k. Dropped upgrades like exarch's, warlock's and holo-fields so that I can squeeze in another Fire Prism. Managed to work on the guardian wave serpent and have the yellow painted up. Think I will turn to the fire dragon wave serpent next and nail down its colours then on to the last Fire Prism. I plan to hold of on final highlights on my tanks untill all the base coats are down. The tanks are slow going but I want to make sure I'm happy with them. When they are done I've still a load of work to do on my infantry. For now I think I will try and touch up the Avengers, but I'm starting to think of painting up ten more from scratch (they are already assembled). As a positive aside, the more I get completed on this first 1k of Eldar the less urge I have to switch tracks again and go back to the Flesh Tearer's.
That yellow really is excellent. It is no doubt the hardest colour to paint, particularly on a darker model like your Serpant, something which you have succeeded with!
ReplyDeleteIt's for that very reason why I avoid yellow, lacking your skill with the colour...
I'm also a fan of your crisp and smooth painting style, something essential for all Eldar.
My only criticism is that the scheme seems to dark; to me, craftworld eldar appear as bright, vivid colour schemes, with the darker ones beig designed for Deldar more.
Other than that, good job!
