Hi Folks,

My wish list for Aeldarii is reducing slowly: I have completed my army with a Dark Reaper unit (long time wanted). I am therefore left only with the Ynnari Reaver bikes on the top list. I have also worked on the secondary and tertiary priority lists sourcing Yriel and another Spiritseer. But these two are still on sprues atm.

The Dark Reapers are a tricky unit to paint if one wish to tie them through clour scheme with a specific Craftworld or the Ynnarii.  I have looked for and tried variuos schmes without success. in the end I have followed a standard scheme, putting red on a ribbon and on the helmet for materializing both alliegeances.

the black has been dry brushed with Eshin grey but does not end up as contrasted as in the previous paint job I did with this approach: I have changed my black from GW to Vallejo/Prince August and it might explain the lack difference.

Details were bone and pallid witch. 

The colour palet is very narrow and makes the whole stuff looking less clean than othe Aeldarii models I did (for example Warp spiders) though black too

Some details and close up

The exarch face ended up being specifically dirty. I might wish doing a rework.

Next step? Yriel.

See you
