micahwc Posted April 27, 2018 Author Share Posted April 27, 2018 Well, I guess I'll just work on gap filling and priming. Edit: I'm working on a theme for the three of them. So far I'm leaning towards a celestial theme; I call them Lunar, Solar, and Nebula. One being a semi-photorealistic moon on top of space, the second being a semi-photorealistic sun on top of space, and the last just being a cool nebula scene; all featuring heavy airbrush usage. The nebula idea might just be a background and instead of a specific nebula fighter I could make the third one a planet; thus being a sun, a moon, and a planet; all on top of a nebula backdrop. It's pretty ambititous for me. I've been looking at youtube tutorials on how to paint nebulae and planetary bodies with airbrushes and I think I will give it a try with these.

Pearson73 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 The celestial themes sound brilliant, similar shcemes I've seen in the past have looked cracking and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

brother_b Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I just found out today that my LFGS is closing. That sucks. Any other options? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/6/#findComment-5069782 Share on other sites More sharing options...
micahwc Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'll have to wait and see what other people are doing, it's the only store in town that has game space that I'm aware of.

Maybe it's time to start a wargaming club? There's a lot of advice on this on the Youtubes, FWIW.

micahwc Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 Yeah, it looks like the local gaming community is going to do something; people are volunteering space and trying to plan stuff. The store doesn't close its doors until August, but is limiting its night hours which is unfortunate as it used to keep the doors open until about 10pm. I'll have a large unfinished basement in a few months; so I can probably make some space to use.

Vel'Cona Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 That's awesome that your community is coming together for this! It's a shame your FLGS couldn't make it work but it's an extremely difficult business in general, mostly funded by M:TG or YGO as a rule. I for one hope GW continues their upward trend so they open more official stores around the country!

Vel'Cona Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wow. Mine is only 62 miles away, but it's in another country. This has its own issues . . . :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/6/#findComment-5071587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

micahwc Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Thanks. I was thinking about doing a large moon, sun, and eye of terror on these; but honestly I like them how they are and I may just touch these up a bit and clear coat them. I'm open to ideas on how to make them better. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/343882-micahs-dark-eldar/page/6/#findComment-5072596 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vel'Cona Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I think they look lovely as is, though I prefer minimalist details on vehicles (all the gaudy freehand I see people do just doesn't work for me). That being said, maybe some icons on the wings/tail for your Kabal/Cult/etc. could help tie this in with the rest of your army.

Vel'Cona Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Very cool looking scheme! I especially like that you let the patterns flow naturally, which gives each RWJF a unique finish.

Lord Asvaldir Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Yeah very nice, that blending looks very natural and you have a nice star effect going there. Looking forward to seeing the finished fighter.
