The Good, The Bad, The Aeldari - Event now closed

[TrawlingCleaner]

I got the Warlock finished and got the Wraithlord done too. This is my first forray into contrast and it's definitely an new experience for me, it flows way differently than I thought it would

 

 

 

Warlock

 

 

Wraithlord

 

 

[WarriorFish]

Good stuff, turned out very nicely I think. Contrast is a useful tool in the armour but one I'm still only testing currently for old habits die hard :lol: All the Wraith models are really great enough to make me a bit sad DE don't get them :P

What do you mean? Wraiths are dead on the outside and alive on the inside (of a gem) and DE are alive on the outside but dead on the inside ;)

[Focslain]

@ TrawlingCleaner - Awesome gem work there.

[Dread]

So my move has finally come to an end so work on my vow shall commence.

 

Everyone is doing some really stand up work here! Keep at it.

[WarriorFish]

Finally got some progress in:

While the armour doesn't make for the most exciting of work it's a good milestone as the rest is details :) A fair bit of them but should fit into my free time for it :P

[Axineton]

I’ve glued the canopy on the crimson Hunter today. Might try and prime it tomorrow if I get time 

[TPS]

@TPS I vote for a squad of both! Great schemes, the bone is bolder and I think more successful due to the high contrast and reduced palette but the teal/purple is a combo I also really like (have used on my Eldar previously) Is there an army coming out of this exercise?

An army is unlikely, but I might do a Kill Team. Those Scourges are a lot of fun to paint!

Looking forward to seeing the progress Dread! 

 

The perks of being exposed to someone with confirmed COVID is that I work from home again and have been very productive. The Banshees are done!

 

 

 

 

 

So I'm going to Re-revow: A Farseer, a War walker and a Wave Serpent 

 

[Dread]

Ask and ye shall recieve...

 

 

Progress so far. Still have more to do but felt good to just paint.

Got some work done the other day, super rusty. Still, it felt good to bust out the brushes.

I *think* I've done the link correctly.

Can confirm: crazed murder elf ladies are NOT a safe alternative to cigarettes.

[Lord_Ikka]

While my Craftworld Laenyrchal stuff is drying from the airbrush, I'll up my ante and get something in that I can finish quicker.

 

I pledge to finish one troupe of the Masque of the Furious Lament to be painted before the 14th of November.

Ok i managed to hit this guy hard over a few nights and calling my vow complete!

Its the first mini ive produced from my new desk setup and i think its worked out. I also have natural light to photograph in which helps too!

I still cant find my old exodite project but do intend to re-vow something when i unbox it :)

[Dwango]

That's preeeety!

[Captain Coolpants]

Great to see so many re-vows! Especially trawlingcleaner! Second one!

 

And sandalphon, that's a pretty lovely paint job there!

[The Yncarne]

Update: I haven't made much progress on the death jester. I'm on my third attempt. I will take a WIP update when I get some sunlight.

 

In the meantime, it is nice to see others' work.

That's a great start Harrowed, looking forward to more progress!

Just to double check Ikka, is this a revow after completion of your last vow?

This is absolutely gorgeous work Sand, I'm blown away by the gem work and and visor, on such a small model too

Great progress everyone!

[Dread]

Thanks TC. I used turbo Dork's color change paints. I started with the one called "let them eat cake" but it was to dark so went over it with "Miami sunset". Really achieved what I was wanting and so different from my scheme of many years. Hope to have them done by this weekend.

No, this is more of an additional vow- haven't finished my first vow because it will take longer- I can do these guys at work easy comparedto the Wraithlord/War Walkers.

All of these great paint jobs have inspired me to reboot my Eldar. I, Minuros pledge to paint a very old squad of Dark Reapers before November 14th.

Even if we don’t get support from GW I still love my pointy ears!

Welcome aboard Minuros, I'm looking forward to seeing some Dark Reapers!

[Lord_Ikka]

Completed my additional vow- presenting the Madness Surge troupe of the Masque of the Furious Lament.

 

 

Now to continue with my Craftworlders...

[Harrowed]

Still unsure about these colors. Gems are a bastard with nerve damaged hands. I would dearly like some C&C. Also, home-made basing tips? My budget for supplies is non-existent.

Back when I started this hobby and even now sometimes I would take some small cups and go for a walk. Seeing different dirts, rocks, twigs, etc. And use them on my bases. Paint a base color then use Elmer's glue or PVC of some kind, pour it on and situate small rocks or twigs that was pleasing to the eye, let the glue dry. After seal with a spray clear to help keep it safe and stable. If no spray clear then carefully with a brush on varnish, I've thinned them and poured on to not disturb with brushes. Bout as cheap as you can get.

 

Hope this helps.
